NEW YORK CITY - So far, the violent riots that have erupted throughout the Muslim world over the Mohammed cartoons have not been repeated here in the U.S.
But yesterday in New York City, one radical Islamic group was preaching a message that is anything but peaceful.
This is not Pakistan or Gaza. It is Manhattan's east side--just a short drive from ground zero. The group calls itself the Islamic Thinker's Societyits, for short. The purpose of the demonstration was to condemn the now infamous cartoons.
But there was another message as well: that Islam will one day dominate the world.
One ITS member said, We are here to tell you that there is nothing you can do--and that your days are numbered...all of you who disbelieve: speak good, or Allah will silence you.
The protest began in front of the Danish Consulate. ITS members stomped on Danish flags and warned Denmark that it would suffer "allah's wrath." The group then moved to the German Consulate, where they trampled on German and Israeli flags--and called non-Muslims "scum."
All of this took place under the watchful eye of the NYPD. Onlookers we spoke to were outraged.
Some people have evolved and matured and become civilized human beings, but they obviously haven't. And unfortunately we're supporting them and protecting them, too, One NYC resident said.
Members of the ITS declined to be interviewed for this story. But off-camera, their leader told cbn News that the group consists of mostly college students who live in New York City.
The Internet journal Worldnetdaily.com has reported that ITS is linked to al-Muhajiroun, a notorious British Islamist group that disbanded in 2004.
That group's former leader--Abu Hamza al-Masri--was convicted in a British court earlier this month of incitement to murder, among other offenses. ITS members deny any connection to al-Muhajiroun, but the black flag flown at ITS rallies--and its goal of a worldwide Islamic state--are identical to those of al-Muhajiroun.
Although this event lacked the violence that has been so prevalent in cartoon protests throughout the Muslim world, the message was eerily similar: America and Europe, your days are numbered.
Was this mentioned in the LIBERAL mainstream media, ANYWHERE?
I don't listen to them or read their trash so I ask you - heard them even mention this? I see Hillary is silent about THIS but lots to say about Cheney.
They did it in Stalinist Russia and have exported it worldwide. It's almost a viable plan to supplant Christinaity.
"Yes it is..But even GOD will one day no longer be mocked..You can choose to accept the good news or reject it
Maybe Christians should tell Muslims *Your Days Are Numbered* I wonder how that would go over?"
That's a FACT via faith. Our faith has lots of eveidence to support it so I don't mind calling your statement a FACT.
"I think we should start deporting vocal enemies of our nation and security."
- Yeah...deport them to the middle of the Atlantic without a lifevest.
You make the mistake (common to people who weren't raised in NYC) that Manhattan IS the city. Manhattan is merely a place where the transplants from the rest of the world manage to migrate to (because they have romantic visions of New York as fostered by television and movies that are far divorced from the reality). Not everyone in New York is a high-powered corporate attorney or stockbroker. This city is the home to millions of electricians, sewer and sanitation workers, police officers, waiters and construction workers, you know, REAL people. The fact that this group is supposedly organized and headquartered on the Upper East Side proves only reinforces my point. The UES is as far removed from reality as you can get (which is why it's reliably democrat in it's voting patterns).
Given five minutes on the Staten Island Ferry, at the ballfields of Marine Park, or in Times Square to scream loud enough at the REAL New York (the blue collar New York) and I'll promise you a few thousand angry folks ready to engage in violence against these morons at the drop of a hat. There is not aperson here who was not affected by 9/11 on some level. Not all of us lost friends and family, but it's almost as if we did.
Of course, I don't advocate it, but if they want to play rough, they're in for a shock. They only become this daring and this obnoxious because they can hide behinid the law and the unwritten rules of a civilized society. Remove those retraints for as much as five seconds and there'd be a lot of dead muzzies on the Upper East Side.
As for your son, that's what happens when you decide to mix with the faux-dissafected, hippie-dippie, arsty-fartsy, pretense-in-place-of-common-sense crowd. I'm sure he's a talented young man (must be if he's at Julliard!), and it's a shame that he has to deal with that sort of thing. I sympathize.
That was a year in hell for me, too.
Unfortunately, therein lies the problem...
Who are you and what do you want?
: )
And the reason you can't get those commodities is the residents are preoccupied with keeping their intellectual volume the size of a walnut.
"Pepper" them with bacon bits. More defilement for the buck. :)
In other news, Og, spokesman for the radical 'Neaderthal Liberation Movement', told the 'Homo Sapien News Network' that, "Homo sapiens days are numbered!".
Islam is a psychological cancer that needs to be healed.
Where's the good ole Iraqi information Minister when you need him? You know, the bombs going off in the background and "No infidel forces are in Iraq!" BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Baghdad Bob! What a guy!
Maybe these nutbags can get away with that "nothing you can do" crapola in an unarmed, "tolerant" place like New York City, but if they are dumb enough to seriously take up that cudgel here in Red-State-Land they will find out there is "something we can do" - and they and their demon-god Allah won't be going back to New York City to brag about it!
"Time for rounding up enemy aliens, putting them in internment camps, and deporting most. The Hell with PC - lets protect our country from the dangerous fifth column that is already here."
Spot-on!
Case in point: when you look at the "toolkit" of the 9/11 hijackers, you find flight schools, jumbo jets, credit cards, cell phones, the internet, a civil society which allows people a certain anonnymity, a government security apparatus sensitive to the notions of rights and legal niceties, topless bars, gambling casinos, driver's licenses, passports, wire transfer services, ATM networks, international air travel, and even boxcutters.
These are all the results of Western culture an every level of human endeavor: political, scientific, economic, industrial and cultural.
What did the Islamic society provide to the mix?
Nineteen nutjobs committed to a failed 7th century political philosophy disguised as a religion, raw emotion (rage and envy) and a death wish.
Yep, I can see why the Islamic world is so pissed off. Especially when you're the "chosen people" of God, you live in abject poverty (both economic and cultural) and you can't even mass produce your own boxcutters.
The student senate at the university of missouri at kansas city is impeaching the liberal demoncrat president and vp of the student council on the grounds of mismanagement of student cash, not going to meetings, and using student funds to invite bobby seals to speak at umkc.
