The Muslim American Society of Dallas/Ft. Worth is hosting "Super Rally for Solidarity with the People of Egypt" from 2-6 p.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. Organizers will stake out in a pretty visible spot: between Cowboys Stadium and the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, at the intersection of E Randol Mill Rd. & Legends Way.
But there will be so much traffic, you say! Ralliers can park at one of two places: Masjid Al-Salam at 500 Road to Six Flags West in Arlington; or Center Masjied at 1700 S. Center St. in Arlington. Organizers picked a location that would be well traveled. "There will be a lot of media attention, and we wanted to take advantage of that opportunity and get some attention to that issue," said Ahmed Hussein, who is involved with Irving chapter of the Muslim American Society of Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The Muslim American Society is rallying to support Egyptian people, who have faced riots and civil war because of their opposition to longtime Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
"For a whole week the protests in Egypt were peaceful," the press release reads. "Now the Mubarak government is sending in thugs with weapons to wound and kill the voices who are opposing him. Journalists are being beaten and arrested to try to prevent the world from seeing. We cannot silently stand by and watch." The rally is not affiliated with last Sunday's rally at City Hall, though Hussein, an Irving resident, said his group also supported that rally.

“I think a counter demonstration is a good idea. But I was thinking along the lines of a massive pig roast.”
That would be SWEET. I’d drive to Dallas just for that.

“Is this being sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood?”
The Muslim American Society has ties to MB
Amazing, they have the posters all ready to go. But, no this was not preplanned.
Gotta spread that muslim population throughout the country in all the strategic places.
Don’t forget that it was the Muslim Brotherhood that conspired to assasinate Anwar Saadat.
You could count on Islamic rage boy be there wearing Steeler Jersey LOL!
