AS IF the whipped-up hysteria against the proposed mosque in lower Manhattan was not bad enough, there is now a ludicrous and hateful campaign to boycott Campbell’s for having the temerity to issue a halal line of soups. The grounds the boycotters give are that the body certifying the soups as halal has been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. This morning’s New York Times has a depressing profile of one of the people stirring the pot of bigotry, but what is worse to my mind is the collusion of supposedly mainstream politicians such as Newt Gingrich in this ugly wave of anti-Muslim hysteria. As for the tea-party movement, with its supposed veneration for the values entrenched in the constitution, what to make of this reported tweet from the Tea Party Nation?Campbell’s now making Muslim approved soups. Mmmmm Mmmmm not good. No more campbells for me.
Shaming, and infantile. This must be a hard time to be a Muslim in America.
