"We had a demonstration in front of the UN last Sunday. This campaign of protest will continue as a campaign of education for many more months to come"

"We should portray these cartoons as anti-Muslim rather than anti-Islam. This will take away their hollow argument that it is freedom of expression to attack an ideology (considered progressive). Media are more vary of attacking a community as it is considered racist and not" progressive.

Needless to say, I have ignored these messages. These protests have garnered little attendance and scant attention. But they will not be discouraged as you can see they plan to make this a campaign for "months to come." Today's rally seems to have been better attended.

I received this missive from Rona;

Mark went with his camera. Click for all the pictures here: A.N.S.W.E.R.'s speakers were inciteful, going far beyond the rhetoric about tolerance voiced by the Muslim speakers on the stage. About 600 were there, lots of school buses brought people in.

I love how in the first picture there is a guy standing in the background with a sign saying, "Prophet Muhammad was a man of peace" while everyone else's signs are inflammatory and violent in nature.

Don't you think it is about time the evolved had a counter-protest?

Anyone up for that?

Perhaps you could use your bully pulpit to organize one in the name of free speech the next time these nitwits are out trying to scare people into submission. We need to take a stand and the sooner the better.
