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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell it to Krushchev.
Bringit out here to Long Island 'Achmed' and you'll get ventillated.
Such peace and tolerance - does Bush know about this?
Pretty bad when we would allow any assinie words to come blathering out from Muslims about anything to do with the destruction of the world and cartoons on US soil..

Mullah Omar said that the U.S. was going to be destroyed before it had a chance to oust the Taliban from Afghanistan. Big talk for a one-eyed fugitive, and false.

The religion of peace and tolerance at its best. At least they aren't hiding their agenda. We must stay focused and never let down against these animals.
I think we should start deporting vocal enemies of our nation and security. Freedom of religion should be understood in the way the Framers intended it. That is, the free exercise of Christian religions, not religions that (when practiced by large numbers of people) would destroy every other portion of our Constitution.
Both of them? In the same room? At the same time? Amazing. Anything can happen in NY.
Isn't it time to ship them to Iran where they will be happy?
Tell it to Krushchev.
Yeah...hope they see him real soon.
I understand about the free speech thing but isn't there some sort of law against promoting violence or calling for the overthrow of the government? Isn't that what this animal is saying/advocating?

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?
lmfao....but... I would rather eat it.
....Pigs Feet!!! Nasy, and more appropriate:)
(and may leave a bruise)
True, but I don't think Islam will have anything to do with it.
In fact, Islam may have saved Western Civilization by highlighting it's flaws. Islam is too weak to take advantage anyway.
