Another Islamist Rally for Hate in D.C.

Dozens of people gathered in Washington's DuPont Circle Friday morning for the "Annual Al-Quds Day Rally for Justice in Palestine and the Oppressed Everywhere."
The Quds Day rally in Washington has become a gathering of the fringe of the fringe of rabidly anti-Israel demonstrators. Speakers included Medea Benjamin of Code Pink and two people who have espoused radical conspiracy theories at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) annual conferences.
As Palestinian and Israeli leaders meet in peace negotiations just a few miles away, the speakers called for a rejectionist line on Israel.
"The time has come that we must stir up our 'religious leaders' in this country to speak the truth about Israel," said Kaukab Siddique. "They must put their hands on the Quran and say that they do not recognize Israel as a legitimate entity. If they cannot do that, they must be branded as kaffirs [infidels]. It's as simple as that. Because the Quran says – drive them out from where they drove you out."
As was the case at last year's demonstration, speakers spewed hate speech to a crowd dotted with Hizballah flags. Among the speakers was retired ambassador Edward Peck, and Mauri Saalakhan,
Salaakhan peddled copies of his book, The Palestinians' Holocaust, at the 2009 ISNA convention. It's a collection of essays including his claim that Israel was responsible for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and includes a defense of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
At the 2010 ISNA conference held in July, Peck described his experience on board the Mavi Marmara, the Turkish ship that was the site of a violent clash with Israeli commandos as it tried to break the blockade on Gaza in May. He also cast Israel as holding power over American policy in the region, saying the U.S. would open communications with Hamas "when Israel gives us permission."
Other speakers went far further. Abolfazl Bahram Nahidian, identified as imam of a mosque in Manassas, Va., cast the 9/11 attacks as a Zionist plot:
"September 11 is not done by Muslims. It is done by the plot of the Zionists in order to justify to occupy the land of the Muslims such as Afghanistan, such as Iraq, such as Pakistan, now moving on to the rest of the areas. They plot and they scheme and no doubt God is plotting and scheming against them too."
Last year, Nahidian wrote to President Obama, citing a Quranic verse that says "Do not take Jews and Christians as your authority," and asking the President not to "interfere with the affairs regarding Islamic issues based on our Holy Quran" including the disputed Iranian election results.
Siddique, an assistant professor of English at Pennsylvania's Lincoln University and who was introduced as a community activist, also included a threatening message for Jews:
"For the Christians I say please pray for Gaza. For the Jews I would say see what could happen to you if the Muslims wake up. And I say to the Muslims, dear brothers and sisters, unite and rise up against this hydra-headed monster which calls itself Zionism. Each one of us is their target and we must stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel if possible by peaceful means. Perhaps, like Saladin, we will give them enough food and water to travel back to the lands from where they came to occupy other people. There's no question of just removing the settlements. These settlements are only the tentacles of the devil who resides in Tel Aviv."

Radical Islam will use our Democracy and Tolerance Against Us

Radical Islam will use our Democracy and our Tolerance against us. America's leaders must wake up! Americans do not want Islams Radical war on American Soil.
This protest, especially lead by a professor, is a disruptive force in America. We do not need this rhetoric in our educational system and if the University where he is from in PA is receiving federal funds, the Government should be putting pressure on this institution to fire him!
We should give this guy enough food and water with a one way plane ticket back to where he came from and then put him on a no fly list so he cannot come back!
U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security - Testimony by Stephen Schwartz - Thursday, June 26, 2003 in Part States: There is clearly a problem of Wahhabi/Saudi extremist influence in American Islam. The time is now to face the problem squarely and find way to enable and support traditional, mainstream American Muslims in taking their community back from these extremists, while empolying law enforcement to interdict the growth of Wahhabism and its financial support by the Saudis. If we fail to do this Wahhabism extremism contiues to endanger the whole world - Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Must not let our country be overrun with muslim terrorists!

How can our government defend these muslim fanatics who wish only to destroy first Israel and then this country? They've already destroyed much of Europe! How does a member of a Pennsylvania faculty flagrantly call for the destruction of Israel while we are silent? This hate speech is not free speech; it is intended to inflame riots and we're not even condemning it. Where are our leaders? How are we merely discussing how not to offend these muslim terrorists?
Interesting but dangerous islam tactics!

They hate, and are taught world domination from a very young age:
Jordanian and Palestinian school book quote:
"this religion (islam) will destroy all other religions through the islamic jihad fighters" 1998 in mainstream education of islam.
We should become familiar with TAQUIYYA. It is a muslim custom of approving and promoting lying, to advance islam. We should all become familiar with this term because, how will we know when they are lying? NEVER! Example:
Anjem Choudary Al Muhajiroun-London 2002- apparent moderate muslim who spoke out against terrorist attack of 9-11,
September 11,2003, North London- he meets group to talk about the 'magnificent 19' who flew the planes into the World Trade Centers, who "revived the 'obligation' of jihad."
Why do non radical or moderate muslims not censor terrorist? They can not condemn the terrorist.
Terrorist are their soldiers, analogous to our military, except that they use children to strap on suicide bombs to, they us children to clear mine fields before the soldiers go in, they hide behind women, churches, hospitals and schools and do not fight like men, like our soldiers do. That is why they can not condemn the terrorist, they are their soldiers.

I am a free American woman

I am a free American woman, thanks to generations of good Christians and Jews who legally entered this country, worked, persevered, fought wars when necessary and made the U.S. the wonderful land it is. My family includes Jews, Catholics, Southern Baptists, and even some Agnostics. We are all patriots who love our country and who are not fooled by Islam. I know my two Jewish grandsons would be considered fair game by fanatic Muslims eager to kill all Jews. Jews first, then the rest of us who will NEVER bow to the will of Allah and accept Islam. Somebody who is very uninformed wrote that "islam" means peace. It does not--it means--surrender! "Salaam" means peace in Arabic, and I haven't heard mucgh about "Salaam" lately, just a lot of hateful "Balooney" from fanatic Muslims.
