Local Insurgents: ‘Islamic Thinkers’ Menace Gay N.Y.

On the evening of July 11, 2004, Kristine Withers walked down 37th Avenue, a main drag in Jackson Heights, Queens, and passed what had become a familiar sight: a group of tables set up on the sidewalk by the Islamic Thinkers Society, a local group of militant Islamists. On the tables, copies of the Koran and books espousing the group’s strict religious beliefs shared space with tracts on Zionism, pamphlets on the dangers of homosexuality, and signs bearing messages like "Your Terrorists Are Our Heroes."

"Wonder how many other groups like this are lurking in the alleys . . "

More like boldly operating in the open, daring us to challenge them and even demanding that we defer to them.

I hate to say it but Gays don't go around cutting peoples heads off because they aren't Gay....they just slap them off...

[I still care]

They don't want to leave. They want to conquer and subdue us.

And that's what people don't get.

…and if you love it so much you had better be prepared to stand and fight for freedom either here or with American soldiers on the front line. Kristine Withers showed the courage many lack, she shoved Political Correctness and took action against Militant Islamists – in her country – abusing the First Amendment – using it as their right to fight from within. My hat is off to Ms. Withers for her action against the enemy for all of us. She proves the point, the Wolf is at your door...all inaction and the Wolf stays; take action and remove the threat where ever you find it. Defend America and American principals what ever the cost....many brave men and women are doing just that.

At some point gays and liberal Jews have to wake up and realize that not everyone who hates the US is necessarily an ally. They'd be much better off sticking with Hollywood, the ACLU, and the commies, and giving Islam a wide berth.

"To me, it’s synonymous with the Nazis recruiting on 42nd Street during World War II," she said of her antagonists.

I agree with her here. I am old enough to remember when advocating the violent overthrow of the American government was outside the protection of free speech. I have no problem with that restriction of speech.

[Mr. Keys]

We must try harder.

[tailgunner]

Maybe every cloud DOES have a silver lining, after all!

[thoughtomator]

Muslims vs. homosexuals... I don't care who comes out on top - as long as the fight is as nasty and bloody as possible, decency wins.

If they can't tolerate Muslim intolerance, that brings us the question of whether the rest of us should tolerate left-wing, and yes (redundantly), homosexual intolerance. After all, homosexuals have used their special rights and protections from prosecution to engage in some of the most intolerant behavior there is on the US political scene.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

But did she touch their Korans?...

[tobyhill]

I wish more people would get off their high horse and quit saying this is someone Else's problem when this problem is effecting the whole US. This hiding behind the First Amendment for propaganda purposes has to stop and along with our Troops anyone who is taking back America is my hero.

[tobyhill]

I actually consider this less about Homosexual behavior than another example of America under siege. We can vote to assure the sanctity of marriage is protected but no vote will protect American lives when terrorist exist amongst us.

[thoughtomator]

I see this as two separate groups, both of which have America under seige yet have radically incompatible agendas, running headlong into each other. The homosexuals have been humored by decent society for so long, they do not realize how extremely weak their hand and numbers are when compared with the Islamic menace. They are truly a tragedy from top to bottom.

[brytlea]

Wonder what would happen if someone stood in front of them and burned a Koran?

[tobyhill]

Both do have America under siege but personally I don't want my child to go to school with some smelly Islamic kid who's whole desire in life is to die and take non-Islamic believers with them. Some parts of the gay culture at least act somewhat human but I've never seen any Islamic Follower even understand what being human means.

No need to worry. One more terrorist event on our soil and it will be open season on these groups in every state in the Union.

[taxed2death]

"Islamic Thinkers"?

Is there really such a thing?

[lastchance]

I agree. What most dismays me is that Ms. Withers was charged with the bias. The wrong person was charged.

[Hillwoman]

Why was she arrested for telling them the truth? It is sad for our country but a good sign that the liberal groups like gay Americans that tend to want to give these crazies a free pass on their hatred of our free way of life are going to have to wake up and smell the pita bread. It is ok to say that of course they hate that scary George Bush, but when you and all you believe in are on the receiving end .... it has get a little more real.

I hope we can welcome more and more liberal groups to the fight for our freedom. Now we just need for the feminists to realize that it won't be good to have J.C. Penny's misses section stocking nothing but black burkahs in the future!
