Jihad Watch: Marching Far Enough?

The Free Muslims March Against Terror, scheduled for this Saturday and sponsored by Free Muslims Against Terrorism (FMAT), is generating considerable excitement among non-Muslims. Could this finally be large-scale Muslim anti-terror action that the world has longed to see since 9/11?

Maybe. But there are some strange things about it. In the first place, there are many non-Muslim groups among the endorsers of the March: the Objectivist Center; the U.S. Copts Association; the Institute on Religion and Public Policy; DiversityWorking.com; American Family Coalition of Virginia; Government of Free Vietnam; Canadian Israeli Students Association at the University of Calgary; Fairfax Area Young Republicans; etc.

This makes me wonder in what sense this is really "Muslims" marching against terror. There are more non-Muslims on the list than Muslims.

Wonder how many are getting death threats?

"This makes me wonder in what sense this is really "Muslims" marching against terror. There are more non-Muslims on the list than Muslims."

From the sparse information available, I get the impression that this is a bit of propaganda to lull America to sleep, that it's a way for the radical Left to resurrect itself as being against terrorism (for the time being), that this is a way for them to gain credibility.

It's my guess they will say they are against terrorism and they will quickly follow that up by saying they're against the war. The Leftists involved know what is at stake; they don't mind telling lies to defeat America.
