Murfreesboro Mosque Protest and Counter-Protest (2 of 4)

This clip includes one of my favorite moments. While we were chanting Freedom Now!, the anti-mosque group was chanting USA! USA! After a minute or so, we switched to USA! USA! ourselves. (After all, love of constitutional freedoms for all IS love of America.) The anti-Muslim group didn't know how to respond to this, so they just quit their chant. Score one for open-hearted patriotism!

One of my other favorite moments (included in the 4th video) was when a very ranty guy shouted "We don't hate Muslims; we just don't want them here!" and many people on the pro-mosque side were unable to stifle laughter. What other reasonable response is there to such blatant self-contradiction? For crying out loud, it's like someone claiming they're "totally" not racist -- they just don't want to be around black people in restaurants, buses, schools, bathrooms, or water fountains. Calling "no bigotry!" isn't like calling "no backsies!" It doesn't count if the next words out of your mouth discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, or sexuality.

Here are a list of websites in which prominent Muslim leaders and organizations denounce terrorism:

It took me all of 10 minutes to gather these links, and that *includes* the time it took from me to convert them to tiny.url's. All it takes to find pages upon pages upon pages of Muslims condemning terrorism and violence is a quick Google of "Muslims condemn terrorism" or "Muslims denounce violence". That's it. If you are unaware of the (at least) hundreds of such statements made by Muslims all around the world just since 2001, I encourage you to exercise your right to Google. ;-D

In response to a commentor's question, here are three links explaining the origin of the anti-mosque and pro-mosque protestors:

ISLAM DOES NOT SUPPORT FREEDOM OF RELIGION. MUSLIMS ARE BOMBING HINDU CITIES IN INDIA JUST THIS WEEK ISLAM KILLS CHRISTIANS IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

CHRISTIANS ARE NOT FREE IN IRAN

Simple answer to stop having a mosque near you.. in seville,spain. local christians buried a pig on the construction site and spread the pigs blood on the ground, make sure this would be cover by thge local press. ISLAMIC RULES forbids the erecting of a mosque on a 'pig solied ground" the muslims had to cancel the project on land sold to them by the greedy government officials.
