Free Muslims March against Terror Did the Council on American-Islamic Relations ever organize a march against terrorism? Never. In fact, as I documented in "Moderate Muslims March in Phoenix," when a march against terrorism took place in Phoenix, Arizona, CAIR stayed away and then responded with its own rally of "Muslim Americans for Human Rights and Dignity" (note its conspicuous non-condemnation of terror).
There's now a second anti-terror rally, this time in Washington, D.C. Called by Kamal Nawash and the Free Muslims Against Terrorism (né the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism), it will take place on May 14, 2005, on the Freedom Plaza at Pennsylvania Ave. between 13th and 14th Street, NW.
It will be "a rally against terrorism and to support freedom and democracy in the Middle East and the Muslim world." The demonstrators reject "radical Muslims and supporters of terrorism" and assert they will do all possible "to defeat them."
Although to be made up primarily of "Muslims and Middle Easterners of all backgrounds," the march is also explicitly open to anyone who supports this message, intending that the extremists and terrorists will witness that "American Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of all faiths are united against terrorism and extremism."
Why don't we see more of this around the world?
