Great Quote in "The new anti-Semitism"

While reading the The new anti-Semitism in the Reno News & Review, the local alternative paper, I found some really interesting quotes that back up the author's main supposition and came from unusual source material.

“I think there’s somebody out there that called us and said, ‘Hey check this out,’” the officer said. “Did I see you guys praying? No. Do I know what you were saying? I don’t know if you guys repeat the same thing, or if you’re actually over there saying, ‘I hope that I kill a police officer today.’ I don’t know that you’re not saying that.”

The author pulled this quote from a cellphone video recording of an encounter between police officers and some people of the Islam faith that were performing their sundown prayers in a Henderson, Nev. parking lot.

“Why would our President, supposedly a Christ-fearing man, deliberately mislead the American people?” asked one anti-Arab website. “He knows history and has all the intelligence resources of our government at his disposal; why would he deliberately lie?”

This quote the author retrieved from an anti-Arab website.

I found these quotes of particular interest because they came from interesting non-traditional places. The first came from a recording of an police officer performing his duties, a subject that is in much debate in legal circles. The second quote came from a website, you have to wonder the accuracy of such a quote.

Quote--The Cult of Physicality--by Natalie

Read the full article here--THE CULT OF PHYSICALITY

In addition to a fantastic lead and nut graf, this article had some notable quotes:

(The name of their gym is Gym Jones, which is a reference to the cult leader, Jim Jones, who lead more than 900 people to suicide) “We knew some people would call us a cult,” Ms. Twight said, “so we decided to own the joke.”

“ ‘No’ is a complete sentence,” Ms. Twight said. “I don’t need to give a reason.”

In reference to working out, the gym's owner said:  “It’s like sex,” she said. “You can’t just get up and leave afterwards. This is a relationship.”

This article was interesting, but the quotes from the exercise-intense gym owners and the manager really liven the whole thing up and give it some character.

Great read!!
