From InsideBayArea.com:
"This is more than just 'wear a hijab or turban' day," said Samina F. Sundas, founder of the Newark-based American Muslim Voice and Global Peace Partners. "It's about educating each other about our differences and recognizing that we should focus on what binds us together."So, although the police haven't identified a motive in the Ansari killing, the Muslim community is taking immediate corrective action against hate crime. Notably, this response is consistent with Muslim reactions to perceived hate crimes in other regions of the globe. In those cases, however, corrective measures are more strident. Instead of 'Wear a Hajib/Turban,' everyone is simply encouraged to don an explosive vest.The idea for the event originated days after Alia Ansari, a 38-year-old Afghan woman from Fremont, was gunned down Oct. 19 as she walked with her 3-year-old daughter to pick up some of her other children from an elementary school.
Police have yet to declare a motive in the Ansari case, but the perception among some in the community is that the shooting had to be a hate crime because Ansari was wearing a hijab, the traditional Muslim head scarf.
Presumably, the next time a Jew is killed in a suspected hate crime, organizers will promote a "Wear a Star of David/Yarmulka to Work/School Day." Of course, don't expect the media to pleasantly encourage the public to participate.

Interesting how common honor killings are in the muslim community, but crickets chirping. They're more concerned with the ever elusive "hate crimes." Says a lot. And Leftard silence also speaks volumes.

Muslim. Their proof.....why else would anybody randomly kill somebody
on the street in such a peaceful utopia as Fremont. What bullshit.

Christians and Jews are OK, right?
Of course, a lot of you are not too crazy about the Jews, either, since they are the ones that killed Jesus.
Any other religions that meet with your approval?
Which ones would you ban, in this country, if you could, besides Islam, since we all know that all Muslims are terrorists, don't we?
If I were you, I wouldn't be trying to piss off any more Muslims, especially the one million plus that are living in America.
There are still a few left, that President Moron, hasn't pissed off, yet, but he keeps trying.
And with your help, he is succeeding on pissing off the rest of them.
Kudos, all around, to President Moron and you guys, for helping to make the world a more dangerous place.

No, what binds you and your friends together is wrapping yourselves in the American flag and pretending that you are patriotic Americans, while you try to label everyone that doesn't agree with you as cowards and traitors.

1. The slaying marks the second time someone in the victim's family has been shot and killed in Fremont. . . The suspected gunman in that incident, upset over a spurned romance, also wounded Rahim Ansari's brother-in-law . . .
2. She typically drove to pick up two of her daughters from Glenmoor Elementary School, but left home on foot Thursday because of engine trouble. Witnesses said a man got out of a car, approached her and shot her at point-blank range before returning to the car and speeding away.
So - her family has fallen victim to a previous "honor killing" and her car just happens to develop engine trouble so she's forced to walk, where she gets killed. It sounds like an inside job - the person had access to her car to ensure that she was forced to walk to pick up the kids and the murderer knew she had to pick up the kids so he knew what time to hit his mark.
No. It doesn't look like a hate crime against Islam. It look suspiciously like a hate crime caused by the religion of hate - Islam.

"Rollback of the tax cuts"?
Where did you get that? That is a Democrat talking point. Are you, actually, a closet Democrat?
The Republican talking point is that the Democrats are going to "raise your taxes", not that they are going to "rollback the tax cuts".
What happened? Did you let your subscription to the Daily GOP talking points newsletter run out?
You're right, Oyster.
Even the middle class is going to ante up their fair share of taxes to pay for the economic disaster that President Moron has made of this country.
If we don't raise taxes now, all we are doing is putting more of a tax burden on our children and grandchildren or don't you care about your children's future?
And you shouldn't worry about taxes going up.

HOSTILITY TO ZIONISM SEEN AS ‘MAJOR THREAT’
“A leading voice of the pro-Israel lobby is pushing for an old-style “witchhuntâ€â€”under the guise of “homeland securityâ€â€”to identify (and expel) individuals in the U.S. government and our military who are suspected of being hostile to Israel.â€

I live pretty close to Fremont and it's driving me crazy that more people aren't seeing this for the crock that it is.
Whoever did this was described as a "Latino or Black" man--(I would also suggest Middle Eastern) Whoever it was got out of the car and walked towards this woman. So it's unlikely that the killer was just looking for any Muslim--it seemed like they were going after a specific Muslim woman. Add to this the fact that the husband, who owned his own mechanic shop left after the funeral with his children to Afghanistan citing economic reasons (as if owning your own business in the West is not as economically viable as living in Afghanistan)
Another thing that is not getting much media play--mentioned just once in the Chronicle after paragraphs denouncing video games, Christians, and talk radio--that four years ago a similar shooting took place in the same family over a "spurned relationship".
I'm willing to bet anything this was an honor killing. And here we are again sponsoring a Let's All Convert Day. . .
Good work, Jawa!

You don't have to be an Atheist to understand how important the concept of separation of church and state is, but that would be getting off topic, wouldn't it?

2 points -

You must have me confused with one of those deficit/national debt-increasing, spend and spend, Republicans.
2. "It all belongs to the government" school of liberalism.
Thanks for straightening me out on this point.
I was under the mistaken impression that WE were the government, or didn't you vote in the last election (or wasn't your vote counted on the new electronic voting machine?).
I thought we were supposed to have "government of the people, by the people and for the people".
So, who is this "government" that you are talking about?
But I can't blame you for being confused, since that expression was changed 6 years ago to "government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich".

Let me educate you on a couple of things. I'm
Sicilian. If my 2nd cousin calls me a dago we're cool. But IF, the Irish kid from the next block over calls me a dago...you know where we're gonna go. So if you call a queer a queer you best be one buddy. Otherwise you have insulted alot of good men and women. It's the same for people of other colors or religions.
Calling people towel heads is not cool.
Calling people kikes is not cool.
If you are in a resturant and you say hey look there's a queer....
Calling people a QUEER IS BIGOTRY. Ya got that?
If you truley do believe that's not offensive, and you meant no harm, find another way of expressing yourself.
BTW, how do you stant on Gay marriage. But before you get you undies in a bunch here's the definition:
joining in wedlock: the joining together in wedlock of two people
union of two things: a close union, blend, or mixture of two things
specific marriage relationship: a married relationship between two people, or a somebody's relationship with his or her spouse
