Protesters rally against Islamic law in dozens of U.S. cities

That instead of talking about American ignorance of Islam, how about focusing on Muslims' ignorance of Islam ? Face it, despite calling yourselves 'Muslims', it seems you are no more knowledgeable about Islam than the average Americans, and that ignorance is getting more and more obvious as time goes by. Not just Americans, but the world is getting less and less impressed with the outer trappings of Islam as how Muslims portrays the religion.

Yes and we clearly cannot dictation on that so either have patience or do something about it. The problem of 'us against them' is as ripe in Islamic world as the western world though not of the same magnitude.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Proves how stupid these "anti-Sharia" rallies are, that white nationalists and Jews have a common cause! If examine the history of anti-Semitism in the world, the most virulent (and violent) form took place in Christian Europe. Jews were more welcomed in Muslim lands than Christian ones. That things have switched is only a recent phenomenon.

Not that it matters. This is a march by anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-POC, who hide their bigotry behind a non-issue like Sharia in the US.

Some of it, sure, but it's mostly a reaction to recent events in Europe in particular, but also to news from all over the world.

The rest of your post is very anti semetic.

Islam is a major world religion. The fastest growing religion in the world.

Protesters held rallies across the United States on Saturday to denounce sharia law, the Islamic legal and moral code that organizers say poses a threat to American freedoms, but critics believe anti-Muslim hatred is behind the condemnation.

ACT for America, a self-described grassroots organization focusing on national security, staged rallies in New York, Chicago, Boston, Denver and Seattle, as well as many smaller cities. Hundreds of people pledged on social media to attend an event that ACT billed as "March against Sharia."

On the steps of the Pennsylvania state capitol in Harrisburg, barricades and a heavy police presence, including officers mounted on horses, separated about 60 anti-sharia demonstrators from an equal number of counter-protesters. Many of the latter were dressed in black masks and hoods and chanting "No Trump, no KKK, no Fascist USA."

The atmosphere was tense but the protest went off with no violence and only one arrest, police said.

More than a dozen men belonging to the anti-government Oath Keepers were on hand, invited by ACT to provide security. Most of them carried handguns.

Chris Achey, 47, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, said he did not hate Muslims but believes that much of Islam is incompatible with Western culture.

"The Constitution is the law of the land," he said. "We have to be careful with who we let in the country."

On its website, ACT described sharia, which covers many aspects of Muslim life including religious obligations and financial dealings, as incompatible with human rights. It said sharia justifies the oppression of women and homosexuality, and advocates female genital mutilation.

But critics say the organization vilifies Muslims and has repeatedly equated Islam with extremism. In their view, the rallies are part of a wave of anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment fueled by President Donald Trump, who called for a ban on Muslims entering the country during his election campaign.

Molly Freiburg, 33, of Philadelphia, was one of the counter-protesters but not part of the larger group clad in black.

"America is not in danger from sharia law," she said. "This manifestation at the Capitol is actually a way to make our Muslim neighbors feel uncomfortable."

A representative for ACT for America could not be reached for comment.

In Seattle, about 75 anti-sharia protesters were outnumbered by counter-protesters at a rally that was moved from Portland, Oregon. Tensions are running high in Portland after a man yelling religious and racial slurs at two teenage girls on a commuter train fatally stabbed two men who tried to stop him.

Talbot Sleater, a 62-year-old construction foreman, said that the Seattle protest was the first of the kind that he had attended. A Briton who moved to the United States, he said he had decided to go after recent attacks in his home country.

"People are being run over in the street with trucks and little kids are being blown up," Sleater said, referring to recent attacks in London and Manchester. "I don't want that to happen here."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the country's largest Muslim advocacy group, urged Americans to participate in one of several local educational events being organized in "a peaceful challenge to Saturday's hate rallies."

It also warned Muslims to take extra precautions against potential violence over the weekend.

Anti-Muslim incidents rose 57 percent last year, including a 44 percent jump in anti-Islamic hate crimes, CAIR said in a report released in early May.

Oath Keepers said on its website that it was "answering the call to defend free speech against those who would use terrorist violence or the threat of violence to shut it down."

The Southern Poverty Law Center says Oath Keepers is "one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the United States," organized around a "set of baseless conspiracy theories."

Refuse Fascism, a coalition of activists advocating confrontational tactics to oppose what it calls the Trump "regime," said it would show up at the rallies "to counter the xenophobic hatred and lies, defy intimidation and drown it out.”

These protests are not required, however, they have right to protest. The whole reason these things started is because some cartoons came to UK/US and other places which were not Muslim majority and demanded implementation of Sharia. I have seen some of these protests in UK. Cannot believe them demanding Sharia. If you did not liked what laws of the country were, why did you came in first place. Even Muslim majority countries are not running on Sharia.

Unless i'm mistaken these protests were hardly in the news. Compared to the Phoenix saga buildup.

People who have free time and warped views can spew what they want. "half of ramadan is over and 1,000 people have died" perhaps he failed to categorize the "1,000 people" were vast majority Muslims themselves.

Racists haven't relied on fact but perception. Perception of their correctness they themselves can't comprehend as being oppressive. And feel the mongering by media as "their world" collapsing on itself.

Check his posts.

They're probably proxy accounts.

This is the logical results of years of propaganda by profesional haters like Brigitte Gabriel, Robert Spencer or Pamella Geller. If you go to their twitter you wont see not one twit that its not about how bad islam is.

The Imams did not do janaza prayers for those murderers in London.

The Imams said those London murderers are the enemies of Islam.

Listen Indian dirt rat, what about Gujarat 2002 riots where Hindu terrorists killed innocent Muslims that day.

Heh... so you are saying that Islam can build mosques in sacred places of Hindus and Christians but vice versa can't be done? We will pray to idol alright but you keep your falsehoods within Arabia please

Everyone we have an Indian Forest Gump in our mist? When did I say Muslims can build there mosque on sacred places of Hindus and Christians temples you little twit. There is no place in America which can be considered holy by the Christians. Therefore we are entitled to build our place of worship and the same applies in India:)
