Protesters Gather Outside Islamic Conference Near Chicago
Fox News ^ | July 19, 2009 | staff reporter

Posted on 07/19/2009 5:49:17 PM PDT by Daffynition

Protesters gathered outside a Chicago-area hotel Sunday as an Islamic extremist group reportedly linked to Al Qaeda held a conference in an attempt to step up Western recruitment efforts.

Roughly 500 members of Hizb ut-Tahrir — a global Sunni network with reported ties to confessed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Al Qaeda in Iraq's onetime leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — met inside a Hilton hotel in Oak Lawn, Ill., to host "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam."

Hizb ut-Tahrir insists that it does not engage in terrorism. The organization is not recognized by the State Department as a known terror group. Its supporters, however, blasted capitalism while calling for a rise of Islam during Sunday's conference.

"Free market, organization, capitalization — all has failed and brought disaster to America," said one of the group's speakers.

Yep. No telling them apart...they both believe the same thing, that capitalism must die...

(Nice to see these guys staying at the Oak Lawn Hilton--it's a dive).

I've seen these sentiments on FR, actually.

Isn't that hotel shaped in a circle and located right on the rail tracks? If so, it's a hole worthy of these folks. I hope the trains kept them awake all night like they used to do to me.

Yup. I’ve referred to the architecture as “Modern Soviet.” The poured-concrete would’ve deadened the noise, but sadly for you the windows were manufactured in the Gulag.

I want to know who that patriot was that I just saw on the local Fox news report on the this conference! He was wearing a shirt with an American flag design. He told the reporter that he and his wife went in and sat down at the conference. He was told they couldn’t do it and had to move because his wife was not allowed to sit with the men. He shook his head and said “Only in America...”

I would ask them for a specific room...one ending in 01,02,15 or 16, because those were the ones as far from the tracks as possible. There are not a lot of hotel options in that area and I'm please I no longer have to call on that client.

Any members the hotel can’t accommodate can be taken in by some of the guys in the neighborhood.

That was the CRUX right there. He should have told them to kiss his infidelass, the wife was staying right where she was sitting. If they wanted change........go back to fuckistan where they came from and have their meeting.
