"I am Muslim, Too" Fools and Tools Return to Times Square

I am Muslim, too has returned proclsiming across Times Square: We Stand With American Muslims!



An I Heart Muslims event organized by the Foundation For Ethnic Understanding — a coalition of religious groups led by record label founder Russell Simmons, Rabbi Marc Schneider (and others)



The crowd was jammed, of course, with all the  UWS (upper west side) and Brooklyn Liberal Jews. Signs advertising their blind obedience with "I am a Jew. Today, I'm a Muslim too' and  Muslims, of course, filled out the crowd..

Otherwise- the claim by comic, Dean Obeidallah (the Muslim MC) that we were surrounded by a SEA of Brown faces [stretching to 57th st] was GREATLY exaggerated.[See more in Flickr
slideshow]

But, how else would Dean be able to lead with his fake-news punch-line LIE, that Trump's Florida audience had been a sea of angry white faces filled with HATE. (obviously he didn't see the black trump supporters in Melbourne, Florida. Sitting proudly behind trump, with signs held prominently towards the cameras.

Screen shot from itv.com


BTW- co hosting with Obeidallah was lesbian, Jewish comic, Judy Gold. Her level of ignorance re Islam and its deathly intolerance for homosexuals obviously runs DEEP. Nope. the truth is always inconvenient.


SO - onward  and upward with I am a MUSLIM, Too - Part Two. Starting things out was the comic co-hosts who screamed us into auditory hell, followed by that that great humanitarian, Def jams' own Russell Simmons.





Simmons gave a speech to be expected,  'We are here, unified, because of Donald Trump, so we won’t speak too harshly of him tonight – today. We want to thank him for bringing us together. Middle America' has been misled. The seeds of hate that were small, and maybe just ignorance, cannot be watered. That hate cannot grow'. Anti-Trump, Pro- Muslim. Yeah, that's the ticket.



Susan Sarandon. The token STAR of the event, gave a DEEP-voiced speech (my god- what happened to her voice) Pro-forma leftist blather as she railed against Trump's America destroying the constitution and ending with 'We will fight hatred with love' and OF COURSE, I am a MUSLIM, too.

 


Rabbis and pastors - imams, a Sikh, a Buddhist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Mennonite, Seventh Day Adventist, Baptist and Hindu - all gave short speeches praising Islam.




As did Rabbi Marc Schneier (President Foundation For Ethnic Understanding) who twice in one short speech proclaimed, I am a Muslim, Too , followed by a sequence of Takbirs (Allah is Greater) ... [1;13 in the video]



Ashamed of being Americans in what they claim to be an INTOLERANT America.



Local politicians and civil rights advocates, too. Parading their ignorance of Islam's INTOLERANT history towards Judaism and Christianity, even NOW in the 21st century. No matter what the historically intolerant facts reveal about Islam, they shouted - each one of them - I AM A MUSLIM, TOO.



So, as the pathetic display of naive inclusiveness and good will continued for the cameras, we heard the required Muslim prayers; allahu akbars and takbirs from the stage . (even got the extra treat of some prayers at the side of the stage)


 
Linda Sarsour, Brooklyn-born Palestinian-American activist,  “I am unapologetically Muslim, all day, every day,” she told the cheering crowd. “I am not afraid because fear is a choice; it is not a fact. So today I ask you, in the true grit and spirit of a New Yorker, that you choose courage in the face of fear.”

 


Sarsour was also touted as one of the proud organizers of the DC Women's march .

Fist bumping and ONE finger umma pumping Sarsour. The symbolism did not go unnoticed.



Sarsour BTW resurfaced after seeming to be persona non grata at some recent Muslim pressers down town. But, here she was  - front and center -  along with intifada NYC's Debbie Almontaser.


The media war for the hearts and minds of a naive America, whose desire to Love Muslims (Islam is off the table), this circus was the darling of the media for about 4 hours on Sunday, Feb 19.



A circus that will continue to play across the country, dominating the media.  Enjoyed. Unchallenged.



As long as the Hate Trump machine rolls on, these LOVE fests will continue. Appearing soon at a school, college and artistic venue near you.



The Future is a terrible thing to waste.

"Dump Trump" Prayer Protest- Commies & Muzzies - AGAIN (NYC) 12-20-15

As I arrived, I observed a coalition of Prayer-Protesting Muslims and Communist facilitators,  Bill Doares (below) of Workers World
... and their Communist "led and fed" students.
Also, the usual "anti-war" agitators (from multiple groups)
... pro-ILLEGAL trespassers (also members of multiple groups)
and VILE, angry "anti-racist"aka hard-core Black Commie RACISTS gathered outside Trump Towers. (see Kim Ortiz  below , a lead organizer for NYC Shut It Down and Black Lives Matter )
The Muslim protestors said they, too, were there to oppose the "racism" promoted by Trump's campaign.

The FACT that Islam is not a Race goes unmentioned.

But, since the Muslims billed this as a Prayer Protest, that's what a small group of Muslims did (for two hours).

While a hard-core group of (atheistic) Commies and militant Muslims shouted slogans and preached hatred against Trump, America, Israel and the police (all of these groups were ANTI-Police) 
But, how about some history: Pre-Islamic history. These Indonesian Muslims were invaded,CONQUERED by the "Sword Of Islam". Like the Copts of Egypt. The Jews of the Holy Land. The Persian Zoroastrians of Iran. Why don't the Indonesians DEMAND their history and culture back with shouts of  ISLAM INVADERS GET OUT. Nope. They go silent. (sort of)
At moments like these, all must forget Al Qaeda. The Taliban. The Islamic State. Jihadis. "The Donald" is the focus of their 'fear' and anger as they PRAY to their Moon god, Allah, to rid the world of  "That Racist pig - Donald Trump."
Get WISE. Get Smart. Like this costumed chap who warns we should only FEAR Fox News and that "Shit Stain", Donald Trump.

Or this guy - with a few CLUMPS of ?? (for sale) Perfect stocking stuffers for Christmas. Just $12 and be on your way! (Whatever) Even the anti-Capitalism Commies do NOT waste a moment to make-a-buck.

The Commies had an interloper. But, never fear,  Commie - thug, Bill Doares, made sure this loud, whistle-blowing purveyor of conflicting messages was NOT in their pen.  A threatening ,"We don't want you here" is usually Doares' first line-of-attack. 
The interloper (uninvited) stepped outside the enclosure, cautiously, where he hung around awhile ...
...til he decided to whistle-assault the NY ICE protest on the Fifth Avenue side.
Back to 56th Street. Costumes. Pithy signs and LOTS of speakers. Muslim speakers. Commie speakers. Angry Black and "illegal trespasser" speakers. Come one, come all. (not really)


Throughout the  protest, the Commies walked the perimeter; keeping watch over their flocks (like Tony Murphy below). They don't let just anyone join their protests.
Naming just a few that I captured on-the-job:  Sara Flounders, Andy Pollack, Tony Murphy, Imani Henry, Kim Ortiz (of the very angry Black Lives Commies) and the ever scowling, Bill Doares (seen earlier - up top). ANGER . Scowls. de reguerre.


They Orchestrate. "Control and Patrol" the photo-ops. Making sure the media has plenty to record: Anger. Passion. "Humor"....    And Prayers. Muslims-in-prayer. Muslims chanting against terrorism. Everyone chanting, parroting, droning .... on and on .... and on.

VIDEO


There was even this faux march of Muslims to NO WHERE (held within the enclosure)

VIDEO

No photo-ops go unanswered.
Playing to the cameras, the Muslims were eager. Buoyant. Even playful. Unfortunately, as the videos reveal, their accented English made the chants mostly unintelligible.

VIDEO



At 3:30, as I left the festivities, I took one last look at the protest on the 56 st side. The agitated and outraged speakers were still bellowing through their VERY LOUD amplification while the prayer-protest continued on silently.

VIDEO



The actual protest had started at 2 pm. It was still 30 minutes til the 4 march. This unsavory group was going to tie-up lots of the NYPD (to protect them? or to protect the public?). Whatever, these officers are 'off-patrol' - not able to keep our city safe - while these anarchists marched to Fox News and CNN.
 
Unlike the police, I was able to skip the march. It's the same ol same ol. If you've seen one march, you've seen them ALL.

One from  Daniel Greenfield on Muslim Immigration and the Islamic State

And the other,  Robert Spencer on the Real Meaning of Allah Akbar

And then, in closing, Sara Flounders (of Ramsey Clark's International Action Center), stern warning to her Comrades as she inspired them to Dump Trump:

“Whenever fascism rears its ugly head, it is the duty of all progressive forces to unite in solidarity and struggle against it. On December 20 (2015) let’s join together and say ENOUGH! Join the Unity Rally!" 

Also, a rally-for-the-cause VIDEO.

Deep thoughts on Fascism from Comrade, Tony Murphy, a Workers World sponsor.

SEIU & a Japanese Nuclear Protest -2010- A look at things Nuclear (Then and Now)

 

Recently, I remembered taking pictures of this group of Japanese protestors gathering outside the SEIU (aka Commie) headquarters in NYC. (Another file I laid aside because I took the pictures with my old circa 2010 cell phone). With the threat of a Nuclear Iran, the time seemed right to post them.

It was May 4, 2010.

They were going to the UN to protest at the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) Conference.

"The 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) met at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 3 to 28 May 2010.

Japanese Union "No Nukes" members posed with this banner before they left SEIU Headquarters for the march to the UN.

Found more info on this protest in 2010 at SEIU's website:

"Meeting in the 1199SEIU Bread and Roses Gallery were members of the Japan Peace Committee, the Osaka Association for a Non-Nuclear Government and the Osaka Federation on Prefectural and Municipal Workers’ Unions."

 
 More on the UN conference they came to protest:

"The 2010 Review Conference
was generally considered a success because it reached consensus where the previous Review Conference in 2005 ended in disarray, a fact that many attributed to the U.S. President Barack Obama's commitment to nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament. Some have warned that this success raised unrealistically high expectations that could lead to failure at the next Review Conference in 2015. [98]"
The 2010 protestors were armed with Nuke Facts (Link is a Must Read)
"NUKE FREE NOW!"

 

"We are robbing the future to pay for the unneeded weapons of the past.

Now is the time to stop fighting last century’s war.
Now is the time to reset our priorities.
Now is the time to invest in the people and the programs to get America back on track.

— from a letter by Rep. Ed Markey to the members of the Super Committee —

Japan Good/United States Bad. NUCLEAR BOMBS Very Bad-unless you mention Iran or China - Then....it's like... "Never Mind".

 

A slideshow of pictures

Point of Information: Every year, Marxist sympathizers protest the bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945."

In August 1945, during the final stage of the Second World War, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings, which killed at least 129,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.

(TSM) Historians at one time remembered that, until we dropped "The Bomb", the war started by Japan, had no end in sight. Or at least it wasn't coming soon enough.

FLEET STRIKES AS TOKYO ‘IGNORES’ TERMS; B-29 CHIEF NAMES 11 CITIES TO BE WIPED OUT (7/28/45)

During the day US bombers dropped thousands of leaflets on 12 Japanese cities warning civilians to “flee or perish.” July 28th, 1945 (SATURDAY)
"We knew how to fight and win wars back then. Entire cities destroyed. Not that I rejoice over that history, but a great general stated, and I paraphrase, "Anything less than total warfare is immoral."

Microfilm-New York Times archives, Monterey Public Library (many archived news papers from this attack on Japan)

In 2015, as the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approaches, August 6 and 9th of 1945, the SEIU's Peace and Justice Facebook chums are protesting the actions of the U.S. (NOT Japan).
 

"The history of the Japanese aggression that lead the U.S. in to WW2, and their war atrocities during a war that seemed without end, brought these Atomic Bombings to fruition."


Nope. Not interested in discussing Japan as the aggressor.


Five years after I saw the Japanese and SEIU Nuclear protestors, we now face a future threatened by Obama's Folly --a Nuclear Iran ---

However, they stress in their flyer, "Today, after 70 years, nearly 16,000 nuclear weapons—94% of them held by the USA and Russia—continue to pose an intolerable threat to humanity and the danger of nuclear war is growing... The USA plans to spend a trillion dollars over the next thirty years “ modernizing” its nuclear arsenal. The human cost of this is immeasurable—to our prospects for global peace and to our confidence in human survival."

 Nation-wide, America is protesting a Nuclear Iran--Where is SEIU? Where are those Japanese protestors? Where is Peace and Justice? I saw none of them in Times Square at the "Stop Iran Now Rally" on July 22, 2015.

 

 Knowing that Iran is eager to annihilate Israel (with the United States and the rest of the world's Infidels thrown in for 'good' measure) Obama and Kerry continue their support of a Nuclear Iran. (Cue *crickets* from the Left)

 

SEIU must be okay with a Nuclear Iran and their "enrichment" program. I've come across NO protests against a Nuclear Iran outside their headquarters.

Iran also states that its enrichment program is part of its civilian nuclear energy program, which is allowed under Article IV of the NPT. The Non-Aligned Movement has welcomed the continuing cooperation of Iran with the IAEA and reaffirmed Iran's right to the peaceful uses of nuclear technology.

 

Good Nukes vs Bad Nukes.The Radical Left clamors to protect the nuclear 'rights' of  Maniacs and Tyrants.

They are dedicated, as usual, to their "August Action". (Facebook link here)

On August 6, 2015, peace & justice advocates will gather at the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab to call for the abolition of nuclear weapons. (With NO MENTION of IRAN) A comment does say, "Looks like Gaza and Syria". www.trivalleycares.org

 On Thursday, August 6, 2015, at 8 AM, Daniel Ellsberg, famed whistle blower and nuclear analyst, will return to Livermore Lab as a keynote speaker on the historic 70th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima. (BUT ... "What about a Nuclear Iran?)


2015 and the NPT Conference comes around again.

At the 2015 NPT Review Conference, States parties examined the implementation of the Treaty’s provisions since 2010...

"The NPT (Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons) represents the only binding commitment in a multilateral treaty to the goal of disarmament by the nuclear-weapon States .."

"Eight nations — China, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, have about 22,000 nuclear warheads (Russia and the US together have more than 90% of total nuclear weapons).
Around 8,000 warheads are deployed and 2,500 are on high alert (ready to be launched within 20 minutes)."

Allen West said it for us all, July 22, 2015, at the"Stop Iran Now Rally". He spoke The Truth about the threat of a Nuclear Iran while, sadly, our government is blindly, or knowingly, pushing the U.S. (the World) towards a dreaded Dooms Day.



NOW IS the Time For All Good Men to Stand and FIGHT.
