WASHINGTON -- Free Muslims Against Terrorism Tuesday announced plans for a Washington rally in support of freedom and democracy in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The May 14 rally will be the first of its kind in the nation's capital led by Muslims and Middle Easterners, the group said in an e-mail to UPI.

The group said it wants to send a message to extremists and supporters of terrorism: "We reject them and we will do all we can to defeat them."

The organizers said the rally is open to all supporters.

"We want to send a message to the extremists and terrorists that American Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of all faiths are united against terrorism and extremism," the e-mail said.

Not a bad development...provided they don't end up weaving some kind of Israel-bashing into their message...as I suspect is likely.

They're probably on the counterprotest roster. How offensive this must be to them to even imply that Muslims should come out against extremism.

If these "Muslims" are against terror, I suggest either

1: They have not read the Koran
2: They have read the Koran, and are flat out pulling our infidel legs.


I choose #2. No islam, Know peace.

Muslims against terror.
Isn't that like scorpions against stinging? Or cats against chasing mice?

I disagree. The vast majority are not violent. I'll be at this event.

You're right that's a high number of people. Only way to eradicate that radical element is to work together. That's the point of the rally.

I wish them well, and yes, they do seem to be CAIR-free.
