My summary: About 100 protestors supported the United American Committee rally across the street from the King Fahd Mosque, during which they hung Osama Bin Laden in effigy.

It was across the street.

osama yo mama should be hung and burned across the street from every mosque in America. The good muslims should join in the celebration.

My great grandparents who were German immigrants would have asked to join in on burning hitler in effigy.

My grandfather would probably have steered clear of the demonstration. OTOH three sons in uniform speaks louder than attendance at a demonstration.

This was not a random mosque. This is a mosque where 2 of the 9/11 perps came from, and a mosque that is til this day preaching the same hateful anti-American ideology that produced them. There is no more appropriate place in the U.S. for such a protest.

Thank you for trying to shine some light on the subject. I strongly disagree with your statement that there is no more appropriate place for your protest. What are you trying to accomplish with your protest? Do you think your method is/will be effective? If so, why?

I don't know. Sometimes I think it does some good to shake these people up. They think we are helpless against them because of our western ways...I don't know. I keep thinking about a recent post where Mulsims at an airport deliberately acted suspiciously so they could scream racism and allow some questionable 'friends' to get by security while security was tied up with them. If Muslims in this country thought their radical 'brothers' endangered them by their actions, they might turn them in more often.

I've never seen this many apologists for terrorists on a FREEPer thread before. Did CAIR infiltrate?

[gaijin]

Puzzling, isn't it?

Yesterday there was some push-over crying to the rafters for the US to pack up it's bags, and charge off to Sudan to intervene. His reason was, "then, muslims will really LIKE us".

Too mushy to sound like an actual freeper, right?

I mean...WHO CARES if they like us?

They're killing us, and we're worried if the china is chipped for an impending tea with them.

Terrorist apologists? No one on this thread made any apologies for terrorists. However, some people on this thread (including me) do not see anything admirable about holding protests outside a house of worship...even a religion we disagree with.

Why do you think this kind of 'protest' is a good idea?

[s_asher]

Naw, they just don't like to degrade themselves to mobocracy.

Some might cheer at an angry mob beating up muslims and burning down the mosque today. But once it's made a precedent and spread to become acceptable behavior, you won't like the end result when angry mobs switch targets.

The muslims themselves make good examples of this. Look at this arabs and iranians, they're very passionate and prone to angry mob mentality, putting emotion before reason and truth. Would you want to live in a society like that?

My only gripe is that you didnt express your freedom of speech to the wahabbi lobby on Friday afternoon when that terrorist training center was packed full!!!

[Truthsearcher]

I wasn't in LA and was not part of the protest. But as for what was trying to accomplish. How about a show of how strongly we feel about OBL and his ideology.

These are the people who think they will defeat us because they are committed and we are weak-willed. Demonstrations like this is intended to show them the error of that assumption.

lol If you talk to the demonstrators, next time could they do the burning inside the mosque?

[MattinNJ]

Yeah, these folks are realllllly pushing it to the limit aren't they?

[TheDon]

What's ironic, is the demonstrators would have been thrilled if folks from the mosque would have joined the demonstrators. That they didn't is, I'm sure, more due to their fear of the demonstrators, than their feelings for OBL.

[TheDon]

LOL! Here's your mob.
