A popular North American amusement park is scheduled to host a "Great Muslim Adventure Day" this week in which the park will be open only to Muslims, drawing fire from various monitor groups, WorldNetDaily has learned.
The Muslim Youth Division of the Islamic Circle of North America and the Muslim American Society, two of the largest Muslim organizations in America, have arranged exclusive use of Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J., for the entire day Friday.
The ICNA website boasts, "First Time Ever – All Day – Entire Park Exclusively for Muslims!" The event is designed to "provide entertainment for the entire family!" says the site. Imam Zaid Shakir will lead the Friday afternoon prayers at 2 p.m., the comedy routine "Allah Made Me Funny" will show twice, Comedian Azhar Usman will perform, and "Alhamdulillah, the entire park is reserved for Muslims only!"
The organization expects more than 10,000 Muslims.
Debbie Nauser, vice president of public relations for the Six Flags theme park, confirmed the park would be open only for "Muslims and their friends."
Six Flags has previously hosted other event days, including an annual Passover theme in which the park is predominantly filled with Orthodox Jews, but the venue is still open to outsiders and seasonal ticket holders, and organizers of previous events have never claimed exclusivity of the park.
"The exclusionary nature of the event, which disallows anyone but Muslims from being present on the fairgrounds, raises questions about the legality of permitting only members of one faith in what is a public venue," said Beila Rabinowitz, director of Militant Islam Monitor.
"Militant Islam Monitor calls on the management of Six Flags amusement park to disallow this discrimination on its property. And MIM calls on the State of New Jersey to cancel this 'Muslims Only' event."
Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, said "it is scandalous that Six Flags – a publicly held corporation whose stock trades on the NYSE – allows such a restriction for access to its property. It's fine for a Muslim organization to sponsor a day at the theme park, it's quite another to proclaim it for Muslims only, as ICNA does. "
The ICNA has drawn much controversy to itself in recent years. WorldNetDaily attended a conference in Orlando, Fla., sponsored in part by the ICNA, which featured a main speaker who voiced empathy and support for suicide bombers, denied Muslims were involved in 9-11, characterized the war on terror as a conspiratorial Zionist plot designed to destroy Islam and Muslims, and blamed attacks on affirmative action on "the rise of the Jewish cracker."
Judicial Watch says the ICNA has ties to Hamas, and terrorism expert Steve Emerson stated: "The ICNA's hatred of the Jews is so fierce that it taunted them with a repetition of what Hitler did to them."
In his book, "American Jihad," Emerson writes: "The ICNA openly supports militant Islamic fundamentalist organizations, praises terror attacks, issues incendiary attacks on Western values and policies, and supports the imposition of Sharia [Islamic code of law]."

Getting all the mooselimbs in one place may be an opportunity.
In the old days they could conduct it anyway they want to, but that was before Civil Rights. Now business cannot discrimminate against, or be exclusive to, any one group.
Can you imagine a "Christian Only Day" at Six Flags? Six Flags wouldn't dare try it, but they feel free to discriminate by having a Muslim Only Day.
Patiently awaiting Christian day, or White people day, or .....
oh never mind.
heh, how many agents undercover will be there?
NJ 101.5 interviewed the promo dept. of Great Adventure on the radio today.
Yes, the park is rented to this group; but if ticket buyers show up that day they will be permitted to enter the park. ICN was told to take the "Muslims Only" off of their website.
This is a clip from their website when it was first posted.

The Great Muslim Adventure Day
Islamic Circle of North America ^
Insha Allah, on September 17th, 2004, the New Jersey theme park, Six Flags Great Adventure, is set to be transformed as "The Great Muslim Adventure Day", an event organized by ICNA.
This event is designed to provide entertainment for the entire family!
Alhamdulillah, the entire park is reserved for Muslims only!
Last time, this event was attended by more than 10,000 Muslims, making it the largest Muslim gathering in the Northeast.
Insha Allah, this year, this multi-ethnic event will bring Muslims together in fun environment and we will be able to teach our kids while they enjoy their day in the park.
They are flexing their muscles to see who will go against them...looking for smoke...
and to see where it is coming from...
Collecting database using facial recognition software...
Rolling rolling rolling..keep those mooselimbs rolling rawhide....heeyah *whipcrack* heeyah *whipcrack*
:)
Prolly the moonbat Mohammedans got super excited and started bragging how the park would only allow in Muslims, but that was never on the contract they signed. IOW the contract never specified Muslims only.
Don't think I'd want to share a seat on the roller coaster with an angry Wahhabi.
Well it's a day when girls with a bikini should show up with a ticket...
It will be funny to behold!
The Muslims despise America and it's culture. "The Great Satan" and all that. But hey, we like your amusement parks.
I agree with you, if they tell us about the next scheduled "Christians only" day.
No sh*t.
Does anyone feel a FReep coming on?
I thought the Muslim Great Adventure was taking place in Fallujah, Najaf and Baghdad.
I guess not everybody wants their adventure to end in a red mist.
I like how you think. lol
If you want "Christian Only", get a bunch of Christians together, make a deposit and reserve the park.
That is what THESE people did.
It's not like Great Adventure loves Islam.
Great Adventure loves the cash and a sure thing!
The problem with this day at Six Flags is that it excludes people because of their religious beliefs. Private groups can rent a theme park and exclude others who, for example, don't have an invitation to the event.
However, it violates people's civil rights to exclude anyone from a public venue on the basis of race, sex, religion, sexual preference, familial status, disabilities, etc.
If this were a men only day, Christians only day, Jews only day, Whites only day, or Gay and Lesbian only day, public outcry would be great.
Such disregard for our civil liberties should not pass unchallenged.
