EDIT *somehow my post disappeared >.<*: Mayo, a dozen people out of a group of 1,500 didn't get the memo. They are terrible people and I don't like them and think what they did was wrong. All it did was serve as fodder for people who are desperate to point fingers and shy away from the real issues. Happy? And if you actually *read* anything that people had written, you'd know that no one was condoning the few people yelling.
I think Eternal hit the nail on the head when he talked about having heads in the sand. People that are malleable and easily led will believe whatever their political party tells them. And while I really like you Mayo (ty ty ty for pet trading with me, ilu) I think that you only see what your bias tells you to see. You ignore everything else, even cold hard facts, because they don't fit your world view. I am not trying to single you out (because SO many people do this) but you happen to be the one most guilty of it atm.
You keep calling these people terrible and wrong, etc, but afer four pages, you still haven't provided facts justifying these labels.
When you talk about people being "malleable" or "easily led" or their "bias", this seems to be a typical case of projection. You hold views and beliefs that support a particular special interest group, but you can't justify why. If anyone here is "biased" and "easily led", it's you.

Were you not implying that the sources I used for my information are Zionists, or are at least run by Zionists? If so, aren't you calling people Zionists?
Zionism is evil, but to associate a person, organization or statement with Zionism isn't unreal or slanderous any more than associating a person with any other sort of special-interest group is.
The very fact you think Zionism is some sort of Jewish bankers' conspiracy and not a mainstream political movement demonstrates clearly you have no frame of reference regarding the subjects raised in this thread.

I'm not a member of the ICNA, MSA, MB, As-Sabiqun or any other Islamist Jihadist group... so I really don't know what they're planning. I just know these two guys support a Caliphate and that's part of what the protesters were protesting. They do have that right to protest against people who want to change the country, you know.
These people clearly weren't "protesting". The issue in this thread aren't the moderates who may or may not feel a certain way about something. It's about the crazies who are disrupting people's right to go about their business because of racism. Whatever else may have happened does not negate what is clearly shown happening.

The threat to mainstream society is the will to completely dismantle our mainstream society from within to establish a Caliphate ruled by Shariah law. How? Hell if I know? Maybe by supporting guys who want to blow up NYC? Maybe by gathering support to destroy Israel? Maybe they want to learn from the Muslim Brotherhood, since they
were working on a plan for rooting Islam in America by establishing a lot of small, Muslim organizations then merging them all together to create a massive, Islamic power.
And what about Christians who listen to speakers with ties to fundamentalists? Ought they be treated similarly by the many who think their vision for the country is evil?
