Thousands of New Yorkers take to the streets to say 'today I am a Muslim'

The Left's unwillingness to look at Islam critically is utterly baffling.

(CNN)New Yorkers by the thousand, representing myriad backgrounds and faiths, converged on Times Square on Sunday, heeding a music mogul's calls to let Muslims know their fellow Americans stood by them.
The demonstrators -- many of them hoisting placards featuring a woman in an American flag hijab with the caption "we the people are greater than fear" -- gathered at one of the world's most famous public places to denounce what they see as threats and pressure aimed at Muslim communities.
The rally, dubbed "Today I am a Muslim Too," was billed on social media as "a day of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters in reaction to the vicious attacks by (President Donald Trump)."
Trump has made numerous disparaging remarks about Muslims and an appeals court recently put a halt to his executive order that temporarily barred all refugees and travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the country. Trump has vowed to issue a new order tailored to the court's decision.
Demonstrators toted American flags and maroon signs that said, "I am a Muslim, too," as one activist donned a Trump costume and paraded through the crowd with a bald eagle in a cage.
The list of speakers was extensive, according to the program. In addition to entrepreneur and Def Jam Recordings co-founder Russell Simmons, who helped organize the event, attendees were scheduled to hear from rabbis, imams, a Sikh, a Buddhist, Episcopalian and Presbyterian reverends, a Mennonite, a Seventh Day Adventist minister, a Hindu, a Baptist pastor, local politicians and civil rights advocates.
Actor Susan Sarandon and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio also spoke, and former first daughter Chelsea Clinton tweeted that the rally marked her 2-year-old's first protest.

It's beyond the pale. They think somehow peace is possible, cute.

They are Muslims too? It now makes sense why they are called "Leftists" since that is the hand that Muslims use to wipe their asses.

If the dominant religion of this country was Islam, the left would love Christianity. It's how they work. They hate everything "majority" in this country which causes the to embrace everything else, no mater how badly they may treat women or gays.
rational thought is out the window.

Libtards think the muslims will kill them last.

Did they throw any gays off a roof at the rally?

Better be careful, Muslims have a habit of driving big trucks through big crowds.

"I am a Muslim too"
Not really.... but I did shoot a Muslim in the face once if that counts

New Yorkers sure do go out of their way to show their support and stupidity for Muslims.

Peace is completely possible.
I know a few muslims. They, like their Christian counterparts, live in the real world and abide by the society in which they were raised.
Anyone who can live within western civilization is fine by me. The people coming from Syria, to this point in their lives, likely haven't lived within western civilization, though...

It is undeniable proof that liberals are pawns for an elite class. Since the 60's they have been for women's rights, voting rights, right to choose, equality, etc. Their current support of Islam is a complete contrast to what they have been fighting for since the 60's.
Just mindless pawns who are too dumb to know so.

I've had a few bourbons, been watching Patriots Day.
All I have to say is frick Muslims and the liberals who defend these pieces of shite so they can feel virtuous.
The crazy thing/silver lining is that most Muslim attacks are on liberals (NYC, Boston, California govt employees, Orlando homosexuals, Europeans).

You have 3 options with them.
Submit to them and convert.
Die.
Kill them.
Which of the 3 do you choose?

quote:Well I wonder if to a real Muslim, especially to an Islamist, is it even possible to be a Muslim for a day? Would this symbolic idiocy instead be perceived as an insult to their religion or their prophet? Or would these one day "converts" have unknowingly condemned themselves to beheading for leaving Islam on the day after their "mock conversion?" That would be so ironic.
They are Muslims too?
