Here is a link to pictures of today's rally in New York in front of the Danish Consulate near the U.N. The pictures are really interesting despite the fact that they really tried to stress non violence (for example, the sign that says "RESPONSIBLE EDITOR MUST BE PUNISHED" did not specify Sharia law and call for his tongue to be cut out...)
The really seems to have been co-sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. (Ramsey Clarke's outfit) A.N.S.W.E.R.'s speakers were inciteful, saying the cartoons printed in those newspapers were not only a provaction, that publication itself was an act of war.
There were quite a few signs in Hebrew; maybe they were for the benefit of the Zionist run media? (I read Hebrew: the signs say the same as some of the signs in English, such as "We respect Moses and Mohamed" etc.)
Please feel free to use the photos and/or use the link on your web sites if you choose to cover this, but please just credit the photos to El Marco.

Islamic Thinkers society are pretty hefty donors to a number of our politicians.
They demonstrated as we all should in the US. Just because I think their religion is crap doesn't alter the fact that for this particular demonstration the participants did nothing wrong, short of pushing a religion I find frightening.
But then, so do the ########s(edited). :)
OMG! Looter Guy!
This was the second demonstration they've held. The first was outside the UN and attracted a couple hundred.
However, if any of these folks does more than "peacefully protest" when not picketing embassies, well, then I have a problem.
A.N.S.W.E.R. seeks to get out in front of every "Hate America" cause hoping to sell communism to the group.
If clubbing baby seals became popular, Brian Becker would offer you a bus seat, a box lunch, a "Down With America" sign, a club and a baby seal if you'd attend the A.N.S.W.E.R. rally.
Cartoon characters protested a Danish? So go to a different donut shop. There must be a zillion of them in New York.
That crew gives me the creeps and I'd be for escorting them all out to JFK and loading them onto a 747 headed for Mecca.
As long as a group obeys the law, I have now problem with them.
I don't know how long the Muslim population in NYC will be able to keep itself apart from the secular world. A year or so ago I saw six Muslim girls on the train singing the Outkast "Hey Yea" song.
What's tragically funny is the dude holding the sign reading, "Prophet Muhammad was a man of peace" standing behind the guy with the sign reading, "Hell with your freedom of speech."
There's no doubt in my mind as to which of these two guys is sincere, and which is just telling Westerners what Westerners want to hear.
To see someone on United States soil holding up a sign that says "Hell with your freedom of speech" gives me the creeps, big time.
Of course, come the weekend, they were nowhere to be found, as their brothers roamed the neighborhood picking up fat white chicks or skanky Nuyorican chicks.
Well, I hope that our intel people are getting lots of really crisp images so they can identify who is who here...Might be handy to have a database when the SHTF.
Only groups that have fought off assimilation in this country have been the Mennonites (whos' family trees do not branch) and the Hasidim. Even the Hasidim have problems with their youth going astray.
The other thing -- though I don't know how significant it is -- is that the Muslim communities in NYC are outgrowths of Christian arab communities that date back to the 1800s.
Me, too. If they start smashing windows, I hope the NYPD (or whichever PD) starts smashing heads. We shouldn't tolerate a single broken window from this bunch.
The guy is right.
Two Camps.
People who are in Camp Gitmo and the people who are not.
I asked a friend who says this isn't a religious war how he sees the Muslims NOW, and he said the demonstrations are by radicals, fundies, etc.
My reply:
'But "Islamic Americans" seem to be the real perversion of Islam--not the fundamentalists. The majority of Muslims are in Africa, Asia and the Middle East--and the violence is there. Muslims in the US aren't riotting.
So which ones are the true adherents--those in the nations where you point out the religion has flourished, or the ones who come to America and behave in an ATYPICAL way during this current situation?
Is it possible that those "fundamentalists" are the ones who speak for the mainstream of the religion, while the ones here are kind of like the protestants who split from the church, i.e. the US Muslims are the split-off group, while the building burners and killers over these cartoons are the mainstream?
