'Kill all Muslim kids' hate site shut down
TAMPA, FL, Dec. 15- The Tampa, Fla., office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Tampa) announced today that an Internet web hosting company in that state has shut down a hate site that supported killing "all Muslim kids."
Hostgator.com removed the site in response to a request by CAIR-Tampa. The Boca Raton-based company also informed the Islamic civil rights and advocacy group that the website has been suspended permanently.
Other entries on the site contained obscene and hate-filled attacks on Islam and Muslims, as well as support for other violent actions.
One entry stated: "It's bad enough some [expletive deleted] in Minnesota elect a Muslim to Congress but the people in Michigan might have done them one better. . .Start sticking [sic] up on guns and ammo. The war will start soon."
"We commend Hostgator.com for doing the right thing by refusing to associate with those who spew anti-Muslim bigotry and support calls to violence," said CAIR-Tampa Executive Director Ahmed Bedier. "We believe hate-filled rhetoric is a major contributing factor to bias crimes and prejudice."
Bedier said CAIR will continue to monitor Internet hate sites based in Florida.
