Yes, indeed interesting.
Great job.

On Thursday, the radical Muslim and veteran provocateur Anjem Choudary plans to hold a demonstration in front of the White House calling for an extreme form of sharia to reign in America.
Whether the protest actually goes forward — there’s a real chance it won’t, if Choudary’s past stunts are any guide — doesn’t really matter. Choudary, who is known for applauding terrorism and calling for stonings of gay people and the overthrow of democratic governments, has already logged several appearances on Fox and CNN, generated a bunch of articles in the right-wing press, and even prompted a member of Congress to demand that he be banned from the country. All that in the last month.
Choudary is a London-based preacher who has over the past decade become the face of radical Islam in the British press — especially in the tabloids, and even more especially the right-wing papers owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. — despite having no religious credentials and virtually no public support. In fact, according to those who have tracked his career in Britain, Choudary is wholly a press creation.
“I asked if he worked close by, and he said very close. As he turned to walked away he said, Help is on its way. Interesting.”

Hmm.
That... is very weird.
I am not in favor of Sharia. I oppose Islam and its spread. I do not, however, like what I saw in the videos of this event.
One man does not constitute a rally, and the means by which the people present addressed the issue was tasteless and a horrible representation of both Christianity and the U.S.
Some are claiming it was a set-up, that the whole “rally 4 sharia” thing was to get people riled up so that they would go and do exactly what they did, creating yet more material to spread via the internet that discredits and damages both conservatives and Christians. I think that’s a little silly, as far as conspiracy theories go, but it’s not far from what ended up happening.
Sorry, flame me all you want. I’m not defending Islam. I’ve been very vocal about my opposition. But I certainly think the behavior exhibited here was beneath our “camp,” and will only galvanize our enemy. It would have been MUCH better to stay the hell away from the guy, but within eyesight and earshot, instead of swarming him.
Good work! Thank you.

I read the thread and looked at all the pics. Heavy, heavy coolness. I wish I wasn’t stuck in PROK, or I’d have been with you.
Thank you for doing this.
I swear to God i hope somebody had some thoughts about having bomb sniffing equipment around if they try to do another event.
Frankly just one person reeks of a suicide bomber, perhaps he was expecting hundreds to show up, just something to keep in mind, or to keep a certain distance from them.
God bless those Patriotic Constitution Supporters!
A Big Thanks from Washington State!
>> SHARIA LAW IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH U.S. CONSTITUTION
Sharia law is a violation of my instincts.
Beck was talking about this this morning. Going to have to side with some of the other posters regarding treatment of the muslim - it was childish and accomplished nothing.
Now that I think of it, perhaps someone should enclose the White Hut in this manner as well.
Maryland PING!
I have looked for an active Libya thread on the right, but there no longer is one. This seemed to be the most active related thread. Here is this evening’s AOL News article with another 500 photos, and other related links and comments.
In addition here is a really great map of the oil infrastructure in Libya, and the areas controlled by rebels and Kaddafi. Guess who has the most. And it looks like the oil in the west has to pass through rebel held areas.

Awesome rally and report!
BTTT!
