Armed Protesters To Rally Against ‘Evils Of Radical Islam’ Saturday In Dearborn

Source: CBS News

DEARBORN (CBS Detroit) – A flyer for the event proclaims: “The world is saying no to Islam.”

A group of open carry gun advocates and others are planning an anti-Islam rally in Dearborn this weekend, hoping to bring attention to what they call “the evils of radical Islam.”

Dearborn police, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security officers are expected to be on hand for what’s been billed as a “Global Rally for Humanity” initially scheduled for Saturday afternoon outside the Islamic Center of America — North America’s largest mosque — on Ford Road.

“We are invoking our 1st Amendment right about our feeling of Islam in America,” reads one Facebook page promoting the rally.

A few years ago, those Storm Front idiots showed up at our courthouse for a rally. It was widely discussed and people were outraged.

As it turned out, a handful of unbathed fools with potbellies and their toothless hag old ladies had a cookout on the courthouse lawn. There were six or eight of them. The protesters outnumbered them vastly. So did the cops.

I did what the cops asked and stayed home.

Give these guys no publicity. Let law enforcement handle it. Let the media cover it, minimally at best.

All seven or eight protesters were able to speak behind a barricade. A bunch of counter-protesters and onlookers attended.

I hope the protesters enjoyed the hospitality of the town.
