GOP Group Warns Supporters And Police That Muslims Are 'Infiltrating' Idaho

[DonViejo]

A Republican newsletter in Bonneville County, Idaho warned that Muslims were "infiltrating" the state and urged readers to put pressure on law enforcement to investigate Muslims, the Idaho Statesman newspaper reported on Thursday.

In the Bonneville County Republican Central Committee newsletter, obtained by the paper, readers were told the Muslims were "ready to rise up and kill” non-Muslims. The newsletter article, entitled "Islam in Idaho," reportedly also said Muslims were "two-faced" and sought to create the illusion that they had good intentions.

Bonneville GOP executive director Becky Prestwich admitted to the Statesman that she'd written the unsigned newsletter, which encouraged citizens of the eastern Idaho county to "demand that our lawmakers and law enforcers pay attention and ascertain whether or not there is a potential threat." The article also carried a foreboding warning: "Please, don't wait until something bad happens."

Prestwich reportedly told the paper that she should have specified that the warnings and suggestions referred to radical Muslims, not all Muslims. She also told the paper that, in her estimation, 10 percent of all Muslims are radical.

2. IDAHO?

I can't think of any good reason why they'd want to infiltrate Idaho.

6. Heh, I think they should be more concerned

with the fact that the mormons have already done this on Idaho.

Bonneville county is just down the road a piece from me, I was there just yesterday, in fact. I make a point of keeping to myself while there and not giving anyone much eye contact. And I used to live in Idaho for over a decade... it was the mormons who ran me out due to the fact that unless you're one of them, finding a decent job is out of the question, unless you have a federal job. They'll starve you out if they can't come up with a more expedient method.

5. Why the hell would anyone other than potato bugs

try to infiltrate Idaho, of all places?

8. There's a lot of

awesome real estate and natural resources to exploit, for starters. I was in a county just south of there on 9/11/01 and it was a grand directive, according to many there, to violate the rights of anyone who wasn't a member of your stake, or local church department. I had been a resident there for over a decade and idiots were following me around campus telling me to go bask to the middle east, even though I'm a natural born citizen and have no ties to that part of the planet socially or politically. To these butt-wipes, anyone who isn't a clonish-looking individual, they must be evil and also on enemy of one kind or another. It's how they keep anyone but mormons from dominating the state's population. It's what Indiana and Arkansas (as ell as others like OK, etc.), are trying to enforce. If you aren't okay with the church-going clicque, you need to go someplace else but here.

7. what would happen if intellects invaded Idaho ?

naw forget it ,why would they ?

[2naSalit]

9. Lots of reasons to do just that...

but it also runs the risk of faux-intellectuals also coming along for the ride and screwing up the delicate environment. There's a lot of federally administered public land, which the states are trying to legislate into state administrative control, that is rather sensitive to human presence and it would be trashed in a hurry if too many people overwhelm it.

Really awesome real estate, crappy social climate.

11. What an ass

[Takket]

12. Obviously they must have confused Idaho for Indiana!

I assume they were looking for that place that just instituted sharia law lol

13. Have to pity the GOP, all they have going is hate.
