If this actually happens, I have 3 words for the FBI: Facial Recognition Software.
Yeah because that isn't imposing on their civil rights at all

Are you even American? Why do you want to trample over other American's rights like that?

Good link with a lot of information about both AMPAC and the "Chairman" of AMPAC who ran as a Democrat for the Secretary of State in Missouri. He was also a big player in Barack Obama's campaigns in Missouri. He claims to have plans to run for the US Senate (as a Democrat) in 2016.

Can we expect the same kind of "outrage" about MD Rabbi Alam that we saw about Todd Akin?
Extremely doubtful - this "march" will never happen and if it did ..... the Press would ignore it and pretend it wasn't happening. That's the reality of the Double Standard we live under today.

Quote:
The US News & World Report at the top of this page quotes Isa Hodge of AMPAC. Who is Isa Hodge? I have never heard of him before. I can find nothing by or about him through a google search. His name appears on the AMPAC site as Chief of Operations “Million Muslim March”, Executive Director of AMPAC, an AMPAC Radio Talk-Show Host, and campaign manager for MD Alam and his bid for the Senate 2016. That last item is probably the significant part of the description of Hodge.

And, based on past performance of this “organization”, it would not be much of a stretch to believe that this planned march is just a way of promoting this new political campaign. Alam and Hodge have set up a Facebook page for this march. That page includes entries posted posted with graphics referring to both a “Million Muslim march” and a “Million American March Against Fear”. When you click on the “about” on this Facebook page, it says: “Join 1 million Muslims on September 11th 2013 to help us get the truth about 9/11.”

I'm glad to see this and wish them well. The 9/11 Commission report was a joke.

True, but all that has happened in the 21st Century stems from that fateful day in 2001.

It's reprehensible to not investigate or even mention how Building 7 imploded in the thousands of pages of the "Commission report".

The American people deserve a full investigation of 9/11.

Oh, boy!!! A million truthers in one place. I wonder if we can get the birthers to join them, then the idiots outside can outnumber the idiots inside the Congress.

This is what happened on 9/11

2 fully fueled Jets hit the twin towers in New York. The towers collapsed and a lot of people died.
1 fully fueled jet hit the pentagon. A lot of people died
1 fully fueled jet crashed in PA, a lot of very brave people and a few murderers died.

Period.

People can't get their minds around the fact that terrorists went under the radar and killed over 3,000 people using 4 jets and a few box cutters. Well, they did, and the US will never be the same.

I see you failed to mention how Building 7 collapsed-much like the thousands and thousands of pages of the joke of a 9/11 commission report.

This is of no concern to you? Do you not realize that our entire foreign policy and domestic spying policies stem from this single day? And you don't want a full investigation?

This has been done to death. You want to "investigate" a conspiracy theory? You go right ahead. I don't happen to believe the theories.

IMHO, it happened just the way I said, people want to add a whole bunch of conspiracy crap to it because the execution of the plot was so incredibly simple.

The terrorists came to the US on student visas, they learned how to fly planes, and boarded 4 jets on the morning of 9/11. Using those lessons, they flew 2 jets into the twin towers, 1 into the pentagon, and one into a field in PA. Over 3,000 people died.

What the truthers cannot get their minds around is that this was a simple plan, and, unfortunately, it worked better than any of the planners expected. And because of this attack, we wrongly invaded Iraq, invade Afghanistan--and ignored it into a mess. 3,000 people died as a direct result of the attacks, and more than 4,000 tropps died because of the two invasions.
