Manhattan anti-Sharia demonstration dwarfed by Islam-supporting counter-protesters
The New York Daily News ^ | 06/10/2017 | Dale W. Eisnger

Anti-Muslim protesters marching in Lower Manhattan Saturday were met by a larger group of counter-protesters who drowned them out with chants of their own.

The two sides squared off in Foley Square, where ACT for America, a lobbying organization opposed to Muslim immigration, organized a “March against Sharia” - part of a series of nationwide marches the group organized Saturday.

About 100 demonstrators carrying signs with anti-Islamic slogans — one reading simply “NO MORE MUSLIMS” — shouted against Sharia law, which ACT for America argues is threatening the United States. The organization is designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-Muslim hate group.

On its website, the group wrote: “Sharia is incompatible with Western democracy and the freedoms it affords” and that ACT is “committed to protecting women and children from Sharia Law,” which it described as “including honor killing and female genital mutilation.”

Probably because it’s fake news. It was not an anti-muslim protest but anti-Sharia.

No to any Muslim for a neighbor. Do not trust a damn Muslim. Obama spread his false history about Jefferson in Saudi Arabia as Jefferson never had any iftar dinner. This revisionist history and teaching little boys to be fags was all Obama and his NAMBLA pal Jennings who wrote a forward on queering elementary education. Parents should have demanded Obama’s head.

Jews standing with muslims

Jews are obsessed with altruism. Sacrifice is the highest virtue. Sacrifiece, sacrifice, sacrifice, until you are dead.

Sharia is anti-liberty, anti-democracy, and anti-American.

It is so absolutely appalling that people who style themselves “liberals” are supporting Sharia rather than standing with all who seek to keep evil Sharia out of our country.

And calling an anti-Sharia group a “hate group” — what evil nonsense is this? The “Southern Poverty Law Center” is the hate group, a cabal of far-left scumtards who smear everyone opposed to their vile leftist agenda.

16 centuries of Muslims slaughtering Jews, Christians, “incorrect” Muslims, and everyone else who does not bow down to the favored version of Allah & Muhammed.

Anyone supporting the march of Islam in our world is evil and degenerate.

Do these women really know what Sharia law would mean for them?

These women don't even realize that it will be their own husbands who beat them.

Citing the allegiance to our constitution vs the superiority to the Shari Islamic code will mean nothing to these people;

Any presentation against the assertions made by the followers of Islam MUST be made on a religious level. These are people who actually and truly believe they have been authorized by God and that by following and enforcing the Shari code they will be rewarded by Our Creator. That core belief must be questioned and its followers reminded why such a double talking god concept portrayed code as a part of its creed makes a mockery of Our Monotheistic Creator is a human creation, blasphemous, and should be shed.

For years I have had this posted as a succinct argument against it in my website which can be printed up and used as a handout in any of these rallys.

Except for the inscrutable Hasidim, I have given up on American Jews. Screw them. At least I can laugh out loud now when someone tells a joke.

So, little Sonia is in the family deli and asks her grandpa: “What are ethics, grandpa?” Grandpa thinks about it for a minute and says: “Well Sonia, let’s say a lady comes in to buy a corned beef sandwich and she gives me a $20 but thinks she gives me a $10. I give her change for the $10, but do I tell my partner, your uncle Murry, about the money? That is a question of ethics.”
