Maybe Muslims don't march?
I know they riot, but I have
never witnessed Muslim's marching
for any cause. PEACEFUL ASSEMBLY
is not in the Koran.

From time to time, women have started movements leading to peace marches and so on. Argentina in the early 80s had the mothers of the disappeared, Northern Ireland had women leading peace marches.


Won't happen in Islamic households! Wives who marched (without being ordered to do so by hubby) would be beaten half to death.

You weren't in Dearborn last year.

SADDAM HUSSEIN'S CAPTURE: Across metro Detroit, cries of joy quickly turn to calls for justice

Iraqi Americans chanted their love of the United States on Dearborn's streets when Saddam Hussein's regime fell in April. They threw candy into the air when his sons were killed in July.

As news of the deposed Iraqi president's capture broke Sunday, people headed for the streets again. This time, their exuberance was short-lived. By midafternoon, the streets were calmer. People were subdued.

And earlier...

Arab-Americans rally after Saddam statue toppled

DEARBORN, Michigan (CNN) -- Shortly after television pictures Wednesday showed U.S. troops toppling a huge statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, about 2,000 people in the heavily Arab-American community of Dearborn, Michigan, gathered to celebrate.

Many held signs that read "Free Iraq" and "Thanks USA!" One read "Saddam gone with the wind." Many women, wearing headscarves, happily held their children, who waved American flags.

"We are 4 million in exile," said Husham al-Husainy, a leader of the Muslim Iraqi community here. "Two million people got killed by Saddam. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children in prison. What do you expect? It is a celebration. Thanks God."

The peaceful crowd came together along the city's Warren Road, which is a main street of the area's Arab-American neighborhood, said Dearborn Police Sgt. Walter Anhut.
