Anti-Muslim protests—some armed—planned for at least 20 sites across the country

Got domestic terrorism?

http://imagine2050.newcomm.org/2015/09/29/anti-muslim-protests-some-armed-planned-for-at-least-20-sites-across-the-country/

On Oct. 9 and 10, a group of loosely connected protesters plan to host anti-Muslim demonstrations in front of at least 20 mosques, community centers and government offices.

A Facebook page titled “Global Rally for Humanity” says “(h)umanity is attacked daily by radical Islam” and is calling for protests in “every country at every Mosque.” The page encourages “patriots” around the country to set up events in their own town with Facebook pages, telling organizers to “(r)emember to do your homework and find a local mosque in your area.”

While some organizers have urged participants to leave their weapons at home, others are urging protesters to exercise “ALL of your Constitutional Rights.”

The Michigan event page describes the Dearborn event as an “OPEN CARRY anti-mosque pro-AMERICA rally on 10/10!!”

I guess the goal is to make enemies of all Muslims, hoping to create a big conflict that causes us to engage in some kind of race or religious war where we drive them out.

It's very interesting reading and has me thinking there may be more connectedness than we are led to believe.

Exposed: Pro-Isreal Modern Day McCarthyites Going to Extremes to Slime Human Rights Activists

As pro-Israel extremism reaches new depths with the notorious Canary Mission project, the FBI investigates growing threats against BDS activists.

He mentions many of these same people. It's a long read but very interesting in my opinion.

It was amazing how quickly St. Raygun turned against open carry when the Black Panthers started doing it.

Of course, I doubt such distinctions matter to these yahoos.
