Having this march on 9/11 is a slap in the face of the United States and the tragedy we
suffered on that date. It is sacred in the hearts of many any should not be marched on by a million Muslims or anyone else. It should be remembered with reverance.

Doing this on 9-11 is really wrong. Why that date? Is it a dare to all Americans? Why march period?

if they are so devout and dedicated to their religion then why do we not ever hear or see their condemnation of what the radicals within their group are doing?

Why is it in Egypt they have chosen to burn to the ground every christian church they can get to including some dating back to Egypt's 4th century?

There is definitely a problem within the Muslim community that tolerates/allows those that are are carrying the broad brush of terror and violence to paint them all as what we see in Egypt, or Boston or NYC 9/11, et al.

There comes a time when enough should be enough, eh? How many centuries has this been going on?

I don't buy what is being sold about how good they are....and I do respect and acknowledge those who are peace loving and all that...I do not respect they do not speak out or do something about THEIR problem.

I wondering how people might feel about this ?? Is this a positive development, negative, not sure or what?

Complicated development. Taking an analogy, if the Japanese-Americans had wanted to stage a march on Washington on December 7, 1946 what would you have thought? Many Japanese-Americans were put into camps during WWII and treated abominably because of their race and connection with where their ancestors and sometimes where they and/or their parents came from. There were highly decorated Japanese-American troops fighting in WWII especially in the Italian campaign. Having the date though of December 7, 1953 would have enraged many still with very strong emotions connected with the Pearl Harbor attack. Having it on December 7, 2013 would seem kind of pointless given our current relationship with Japan and how successful many of Japanese ancestry now are in the United States.

It does seem insensitive to put the March on September 11, 2013 as it has only been 12 years since that horrible attack. I have run into some Southerners who still seem a little upset at Sherman's March to the Sea.

I talked to a Muslim friend about this march. She most definitely will not be attending -- thinks it will create ill will given the date chosen. However, she understands why 9/11 was selected. There are a few reasons:

1. This date created a racial hatred for all "Arabs" whether Muslim or not. Since 9/11, many mosques have been burned and vandalized. "Ragheads" (talk about an offensive term) has become part of common street vernacular. So, 9/11 is a way to remind people that not every Muslim is a radical or was in support of that event.

2. Muslims did die in the World Trade Towers. It is a homage to those who did and their families.

3. For some, it is a way to deliberately slap U.S.

If it does occur, it will be interesting to hear/read the speeches. It will tell us a lot of what is being thought. If it is done with reverence and prayer, it could be a beautiful event.

I met a number of Muslims while at the University of Denver and maybe one was what I would call becoming a jihadist. And, that was primarily because he claimed he had a brother who was high up in Hussein's military command and Mahmood wanted to compete with his brother with respect to doing his duty toward his country. This was in 1983-1984 and the Iran-Iraq war was taking a huge number of lives on both sides. The other Muslims at the University of Denver could not have cared less about jihad and other stuff. They had their careers to think of and supporting their families.

And, a very outspoken Muslim at the University of Minnesota Law School who was a class behind me (I was 1989, he was 1990) was the man who is now the only Muslim in the US Congress. I never had any classes with him but my then life-in girlfriend Jennifer V. did. You certainly knew he was a Muslim while he was in law school. He is also African American. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Ellison

I will also watch and see what happens during this "Million" Man March.

Maybe we should get some of our recently returned combat vets to provide "security" at the march. Maybe they could see if they recognize anybody..............

Isn't it funny they chose 9-11 to do this? They like to construct mosque where they have won a battle or killed their enemies. This is just another in your face America march! Everything they do has a reason and a purpose. I will not stand by and let them take over like they have in the UK. Tennesee schools have just now announced they are taking all pork products off their school menus. This march is a very bad thing!

Speaking of the UK, here is a tongue in cheek ditty......I always believe there is a true word spoken in jest:

This is from the link and sounds a bit political rather than religious to me...

""We want to hold President Obama accountable for his empty promises of creating a transparent government," march organizer Isa Hodge told U.S. News. "What exactly have we spent all our money, lost lives and taken lives for? The entire record of the 9/11 Commission has never been released."

Protesters will also denounce "FBI traps," "illegal tapping and surveilling of Muslim Americans" and "media propaganda making the word terrorist synonymous with Muslim," he said.

The march 2 Muslim March" earlier this year, but its name has since been changed to the "Million American March Against Fear," according to Hodge."

OK fellow Villagers.....time to snap out of it!

LiveLeak.com - The Horrific Muslim Infiltration Of Britain

[billethkid]

excellent video, that could/should serve as an indicator to many christian Americans. Please do click on the infomation bar at the top of the video to witness how the Muslim approach affects the mond. It is revealing in the first person the complete dedication to our death with absolutely not one iota of remorse....only resolve to go do it again.

This information should scare most freedom lloving peoples. Hopefully the post and this thread survives. It does affect the very lives of TV residents and their families.

Thank you ivanhoe for the link and wake up call!!!!!

Be aware that the group who is sponsoring this march has blamed 9/11 on a Jewish conspiracy, including Israel.

[clod]

Reading the Koran you will find that Muslims believe all infidels (that is non-Muslims) must be killed.

Those that are not that radical still support and tolerate those who are. This is called aiding and abetting, which makes them guilty also.

i certainly do not want to broadbrush all muslims as terrorists, but as others have correctly stated, the average secular muslim is either too scared or too indifferent to make any admonishments to their radical brethren to give them credibility to the rest of the world. if they marched for the reasons i stated, it would go a long way to bring them the admiration of their fellow americans and stop the problems of which they are complaining, the "victimization" of being viewed as terrorists. but will they???
