Okay, I hope this is fabricated bullshit...

(Synopsis: the NRA hosts a seminar that claims Islamic extremists have control of large swaths of certain US cities.)

If this is the real deal, I'm legit scared. This sounds, honest to God, like the lead-up to something very violent indeed.

Edit: umm, in case it's not entirely clear, I'm talking about the NRA, not "Islamists." What I'm wondering is whether the ThinkProgress article is exaggerated and/or bullshit itself.

If what is the real deal? Did you read the entire article? The part where the reporter explained that the idea of "no go zones" in the U.S., is a myth?

I think this nonsense originated here.

Urgh, you misunderstand me completely. And it's my fault, because I wasn't clear at all.

SFC - I'm not worried about Sharia law. I'm worried about the NRA.

What I'm wondering is whether the ThinkProgress article is fabricated and/or exaggerated.

See, I know the NRA is a fantastic source of agit-prop bullshit, but I'd never heard of bullshit on this level from them. Basically I can't read it as anything other than a tacit incitement to violence for bigots.
