A couple of hundred showed up for the Muslim protest ("Million American March Against Fear"). Only about two thousand showed up for the Biker Ride ("2 Million Bikers to DC").

Please, please provide evidence where the police stopped Christians from only praying.

Today in D.C. it was a big flop for both groups, first off the organizer for the Muslim march was a lilly white white guy who was ignored by most Muslim groups, it has been mentioned that he may not even be legit, I heard a rumor he organises alot of events and collects donations and uses them for personal use.
While there were many bikers in D.C. today there were no great numbers of bikers.
Early afternoon I drove into D.C. went pass the Mall up to the White House and didn't see any activity, drove back pass the Mall and went up to Capital Hill.
Below is a link to some pictures I took today.

The Muslim group, on the other hand, applied months in advance for a permit to hold a rally. They are not asking the city to stop traffic and shut down city streets for them. The city granted their permit. How outrageous!

9/11 Bikers Denied Permit To Ride Non-Stop Through DC for Rally
The point was to avoid a lock down city and just let the 800,000 bikes pass. Now they can still ride thru, but it will take longer.

I doubt they care it will take longer. I just wonder how the Muslims feel being surrounded by 2 million HOGS

gotta love it.......

It didn't end up taking all that long. There were nowhere near two million bikes OR Muslims in Washington today. Both rallies fell well short of plan.

Bikers are not new to DC. Rolling Thunder has events there every year. I have been to many.

Next time I will be sure to bake potatoes with bacon between the jugs.

Well some are simply Traitors, but either way is fine by me.

September 11th, 2013 will be remembered as the day when millions of Americans made a statement.
This is our country and we are taking it back no matter how far we have to go to do it.
It is a new day of independence. Much like July 4th 1776 when we declared that we were no longer slaves of Britain, today there is a new declaration being made.
We will no longer be ruled by servants who act as our masters.

This is a warning shot and there will not be another.

The point was that there was no where near 2million nor 800,000. Everything I have seen puts the number at 3 to 5 thousand.

So by millions you mean a few thousand guys on bikes?
