Right-wing lunatic trying to stop Muslim from getting elected in Maryland

Something tells me that our country is in desperate need of another civil rights movement.  When it comes to anti-Islam sentiment, a small few are trying to turn back history.

Take right-wing activist Timothy Truett, for example, who has been holding anti-Muslim signs in front of the home of an Arab American who is running for Maryland's state legislature:

A protester staked out the home of a Muslim candidate for the MarylandHouse of Delegates, holding a sign and wearing a T-shirt that mockedIslam.

Timothy Truett sat in a folding chair Saturday on thecul-de-sac outside Saqib Ali's home in Gaithersburg with a sign reading"Islam sucks," and a shirt with the slogan, "This mind is an Allah-freezone."

Montgomery County police sent a trespass notificationform to Truett warning that he would be subject to arrest ontrespassing charges if he steps onto Ali's property within the nextyear.

Truett called his protest "an experiment," explaining: "Ihad heard that Muslims were generally intolerant of views other thantheir own, and so I thought I would put it to the test."

I wonder just where Truett "heard that Muslims were generally intolerant?"  It would not surprise me if he was told that by Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, or some other right-wing nut radio personality.

Just a side note.  If Saqib Ali wins this November, he will become the first Muslim member of the legislature to serve the great state of Maryland.  If you can, please contribute to his campaign, and help smack down the barriers of tolerance.
