“TODAY, I AM A MUSLIM, TOO” RALLY IN SUPPORT OF INTERFAITH SOLIDARITY
TO TAKE PLACE IN TIMES SQUARE ON SUNDAY, MARCH 6 AT 2:00PM
Community Leaders, Local Officials and Religious Leaders Join Together to Protest
Targeting of American Muslims & Arabs in Upcoming Congressional Hearings
On Sunday March 6, 2011, a broad coalition of over 75 interfaith, nonprofit, governmental, and civil liberties groups will come together in Times Square (42nd Street and 7th Avenue) in support of equitable civil rights for the Today, I Am a Muslim, Too, rally. Taking place in response to upcoming Congressional hearings led by Peter King (R-LI), rally-goers will stand together against bigotry caused by anxiety, misinformation, and ignorance, to show Congress a united American community which seeks to strengthen - not dilute - our bonds of friendship and trust. Organizers of this rally believe one can be a loyal Muslim as well as a loyal American without conflict.
“As invested Americans, we acknowledge the important work of the Congressional Committee on Homeland Security,” said Russell Simmons; Chairman of RUSH Communications. “However, we’re concerned the hearings will send the wrong message and alienate American Muslims instead of partnering with them, potentially putting their lives at risk by inciting fear and enmity.”
Rabbi Marc Schneier, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), has suggested that the hearings should be “broadened in such a way that other ethnic communities and faith communities can attest to the tremendous contribution and solidarity that American Muslims have for our country.”
In addition to Simmons and Rabbi Schneier, additional guests expected to appear include; Imam Shamsi Ali (Islamic Cultural Center), Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (Cordoba Initiative), Rev. Bob Chase (Intersections), Rabbi Peter J. Rubinstein (Central Synagogue), Katherine Henderson (Auburn Theological Seminary), Rev. Chloe Breyer (Interfaith Center of New York), Rev. Amandus J. Derr (St. Peter's Church), and many other religious, community, and political leaders. There will also be a performance by UN Goodwill Ambassador Salman Ahmad of Junoon Band.
Alarmed at the demonization of an entire community, hundreds of civil liberties groups have signed letters opposing the hearings as they are currently planned, including a petition circulated by Faith in Public Life. On February 1, 2011 a letter to House Majority and Minority Leaders John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi, protesting the bias evident in King’s hearings.
Russell Simmons, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kim Kardashian, Rachel Roy, Juelz Santana, Kimora Lee Simmons & Djimon Hounsou, Adrien Grenier, Cory Booker, Susan Sarandon, Common, Swizz Beatz, Jermaine Dupri, Lorraine Bracco, John Legend, Heather Graham, Jim Jones, Kelly Bensimon, Reverend Al Sharpton, Reverend Run, Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian, Reverend Jesse Jackson Congressman Charles Rangel and many more.

A klan of morons.
Are there going to be any signs by muslims declaring “TODAY I’M A JEW, TOO” or “TODAY I’M A CHRISTIAN, TOO”. Just wondering... you know, in the spirit of interfaith outreach.
I’d love to go to the rally, but my suicide vest is at the cleaners.
What have any of these people done except glorify the drug culture, extramarital sex, tax evasion, out of wedlock children?
These useful idiots will be the first to have their throats slit by the misogynistic pedophiliac heroes of Islam.
A keg of Drank Purple wouldn’t go far with that roster...
If only these leeches had equal rights instead of immunity against civilized behavior. As they are pandered to and
given free rides in our country we have worked hard to maintain.
So nutjob sympathizers go ahead and be mudslime and be sure to beat your spouse, molest your kids and stick your unwashed anus in the air while swearing to allafullofcrap and enjoy the 7th century.
Morons. Don’t they know that if they publicly declare that they are Muslims today, then the nearest Muslim will cut off their heads if they cease being muslims tomorrow?
Once a Muslim, always a Muslim, unless you want to die. Unfortunately, that’s the basic rule.
A veritable who’s who of Hollywood ditzes, self-hating Jews, assorted Marxist’s, poverty pimps, race-baiters and useful idiots.
BAN ISLAM! Prosecute followers of sharia. Kill any of the followers that atempt to spead jihad in any way and bury them in a pig carcus out in the open to rot.
Islam is inherently seditious and I believe that a Muslim should not be allowed to hold any office which requires swearing allegience to the Constitution.
Are these leftidiots prepared to recite shahada, “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet” three times to a Muslim witness?
And afterward face the consequences of apostasy for as long as they shall live?
I thought it was called Purple Drank?
Kapos, the equivalence of Vichy collaborators and other assorted nimwits.
The Kardashians?
what Muslim conversion by tadpoles I assume?
they are such incredible sluts...fat assed and so crude
Kimora Simmons?.....another loud bitch..bet Russell is so grateful to be rid of her tacky big footed arse
Heather Graham..nice skullfaced physical natural body idiot
Lorraine Braco....that is one I like..shame
Puffy...keeping it real with his bros
Kelly Benismon...are u kidding?......airhead beyond airhead
oh well...the Big Apple ain’t what it was celeb wise
I notice except for Kapo Rabbi organizing the deal that there is dearth of your usual liberal Jewish celebs on hand...Sarandon is the only one I see on that list.
that is the only bright spot in such a Qusiling spectacle
As I just posted on another thread......Leftists naturally gravite to, apologize for, and mindlessly defend anything that sensible, sane people abhor.
I don’t do “hip hop” so I probly be confoosed...
The Kardanshians? Proof, I guess that as years go by people get stupider.
I’m assuming it’s an Armenian name. I guess they forgot all about the genocide by the Turks.
these religious groups, know nothing about “real” Islam.
(and are too lazy to learn, or do any real research.)
Instead, they believe all the lies and propaganda, that are fed to the West.
(i do know. since taquiya permist lying to “kaffirs”,
i learned straight from the horse’s mouth for several months... from a “moderate” Imam on the CAIR board of directors.)
and worse, these christian groups, also do not know their own religion either. The Bible is not big on “interfaith” gatherings:
Matthew 7
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.
2 Corinthians 6
14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?
15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
16 Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God;
