PROTEST MARCH IN CHICAGO

AP | 9/13

[oxi-nato]

In the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview, Ill., about 300 marchers _ some waving American flags and shouting "USA! USA!" -- tried to march on a mosque before they were turned back by police. Three demonstrators were arrested, police said. No injuries; demonstrators were kept blocks from the closed Muslim worship place.

These guys in Chicago are no better than the Illinois Nazis in the Blues Brothers.

Save your energy for the killers. Don't use skin color to indict Americans.

Any religion that teaches its people to kill Jews and Christians in order to guarantee a place in paradise should be outlawed. It is a religion of hate and should be exposed as such and dealt with accordingly.

This is the same thing the Feds and their upcoming draconian "anti-terror" legislation are going to do to us: punish people who had nothing to do with it.

It doesn't. That is only made up and taught to naive bumpkins. Kiling innocents is punishable with eternal damnation in the Quoran.

Let the church say amen.

[Joe Hadenuf]

There are terrorist among us.

Were you there? Are you an eyewitness and can vouch these efforts were well thought out and directed toward the terrorists?

[Wright is right!]

"Any religion that teaches its people to kill Jews and Christians in order to guarantee a place in paradise should be outlawed."

Islam does NOT teach this. Only the extremist element teaches this. Get it right.

I wish they'd save it for ArabIslamic consulates and embassies and stay away from churches. This reminds me too much of attacks on synagogues.

[CompassionateLibertarian]

This is exactly what we do not need.

The goal of terrorism is to divide Americans, and a demonstration against a mosque will do exactly that.

A grim wager that I would make is that the victims of the attacks include Muslims as well as Jews and Christians, and Arab-Americans as well as people with European origins.

We're all in this together, and we are going to need to show some patience. My full comments are at http://arnoldkling.com/~arnoldsk/aimst4/aimst426.html

While I understand the sentiment, not all Muslims believe in this holy war nonsense. We can't "shoot at shadows."

[Tasha]

Have you lost it? In Chicago, and areas, there are around 300,000 Muslims. Most of them work as security guards, and they are doing an excellent job.
I have been crying, I am mourning, and I am very sick over what has happened, but trying to attack innocent Muslims is the most stupid concept I have ever heard.
By the way, those 300 morons want to make Muslims upset, and the body count will be in the hundreds of thousands. The people who did this to us are not Muslims or Christians, or Buddhist, they are terrorists, and the terrosrists should be recognized as that and be eliminated, not innocent American Muslims or Buddhists, or whatever.

Unfortunately, Islam does NOT teach to kill. So-called religious leaders, as they have done throughout the ages, are using their religion to manipulate believers to do their dirty deeds. Its about power, not about faith.
