Disappointing Turnout at Muslim rally against terrorism in Phoenix on 4/26/2004 |
2004-05-01 |
Hundreds of residents from across the Valley gathered Sunday night [4/25/2004] at Phoenix’s Patriots Square Park to join what is believed to be the nation’s first Muslim rally against terrorism....Ali Homsi, a Muslim from Tempe, said the actions of terrorists "can only be considered crimes" under Islamic law.The majority of the estimated 250 in attendance were not Muslims. Well, this is a start. |

#3 Last week we had a muslim protest against the war at the gates of Miramar MCAS - 30 showed - and got berated by wives, neighbors and loyal citizens. At each and every one of these asshole events, make an effort to show up, take a camera, and pgotograph these idjits up close - makes em paranoid as hell ;-) |

#1 Well, this is still another data point, along with the rally in Jordan attended by Queen Rania, plus a few opinion pieces in the English language Arab press in the past few months. Grasping at straws perhaps, but "trends" have to start somewhere... |
