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 Society—its, 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.
love it
You know, I can't even imagine joking about this! They should be rounded up and put out of the country as fast as possible.
Bwahaaaa!
We're becoming a bunch of wimps."
No, we're not. We are Americans. Our government doesn't represent us anymore and we don't know what to do...Yet.
Two of these cretins showed up to the Rally Against Islamo-fascism at Ground Zero earlier this month.
One of the jokers looked like John Belushi, wearing a skullcap of course.
That is so true. EVERYONE that I talk to is fed up with the Islamoterrorists. Yet our gov't keeps trying to calm us down.
bttt
bttt
Not feeling accomadating at this time...
Bring it on, muzzie-b@st@rds. I was born for this time, and my steel is waiting for the necessary provocation.
All of you will meet your god, and wail in eternal misery. I'll arrange the meeting, if you like.
Why not send them truckloads of good ole Virginia hams and BURY their headquarters?
Stupid Mohammedans.
Is it time to play Cowboys and Muslims yet ?
Truly!! It sure makes sense to me to round these fanatics up and ship them out forthwith!! I'm sick and tired of the West being virtually held hostage by these maniacs. Just let an American on American soil or a Canadian on Canadian soil spout threats and diatribe like this and you'd see our countrymen arrested and branded as homegrown terrorists. It's time to confront this bloody abomination masquerading as a religion. Our leaders look pretty much afraid to confront this for what it is. I hope they get a grip soon or we will experience terror attacks on our respective soils!!
Unfortunately, I can't ignore these people or their threats. They are breeding like rats. What's worse, the West is abetting them -- by allowing them to live there & off the system. Not to mention a declining Western birthrate, decadence, etc.
I believe, though, that evil ultimately destroys itself. A group of people who lack either mercy or even common sense, let alone conscience, cannot survive. The infighting among Muslims proves this.
I wish they would all just blow each other up. Unfortunately, they seem hellbent (literally) on taking everyone else with them.
Yep. That's it, exactly. They're here to attempt to take control of the country, eventually, however possible. I believe that's the objective that's otherwise stated when they say that they want to "separate from Western culture," which they revile. That means, their goals are to supplant and replace the culture.
Hugo Chavez (Venezuela) is saying he'll send FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to Hamas...so, there's also Venezuela, unfortunately, and by that, there's also Castro.
