Remember years ago, the million man march that was supposed to spur more responsible fatherhood, etc for black men?

Well, I'm considering starting a million muslim march to let muslims make their presence seen/heard that what their fellow muslims (radicals) around the globe are doing with hijacking islam is not right, is not the teachings of allah or islam and is contributing to anti-muslim sentiments around the world.

Think this would work? Would people show up?
Would there be fear of a terrorist act?

Can't answer your questions but I'd be interested in seeing how that would play out.

Assuming you're sincere, I wish you all the best in your endeavor.

Actually it clearly says in the Quran to not take infidels as your friends, to kill Christians and Jews if they don't obey Islamic law, stone various people to death, behead many who disagree, etc. etc.

Fortunately most Muslims do not follow the Quran...

Can you explain Iraq and Saudi Arabia who promote the Koran in full version? Muslims in America can not be compared to those outside of the US.

As for the OP would people show......would be interesting to see the views of real Islam in America. My bet you might get 10 people, best of luck.



The Taliban chopped off a man's hand after he was found guilty of theft by a 'Shariah' or Islamic court set up by them in the restive Orakzai tribal region of northwest Pakistan, a day after beheading a fellow militant who was accused of spying for the government.
Abdul Khaliq's hand was cut off by members of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan at Qureshan Chowk in Mamozai area of Orakzai tribal agency.
The act was witnessed by local residents, the Dawn newspaper reported today, adding that Khaliq was found guilty of theft by the Taliban.

well with all fairness, the hardest part is how to convince media outlets to be more inclusive when it comes to Muslim-Americans. I imagine most of these Muslims-Americans are just like regular American families. They want to raise their kids, keep their jobs, take a summer vacation, and put away a little money for retirement.

Million Muslim March in my opinion (Key word: my) is a waste of time.

We put thousands of Japanese-Americans in internment camp after Pearl Harbor attack, and we at least acnowledge it is wrong to do the same thing to Muslim-Americans. I personally don’t want the next generation of American-Muslims to grow up in a country where they are discriminated against or viewed as less than fully American simply because of their faith.

It must be hard to see their faith and religion been hijacked by radicals.

Are you Muslim? Do you believe that nothing is being done among Muslims in different parts of the world to combat radicals?

No, I'm Catholic. But, how often do you see prominent Muslims in the media absolutely going crazy, smashing their fists into the table, screaming at the radicals that they are not true Muslims and what they are doing is wrong, without measure.

How often? Rarely.

That's why, create a massive show of force by peace loving muslims to demonstrate to non-muslims that they do care, and they are willing to stand up against the radicals who claim to be their mouthpieces for the Koran.

(plus, as the organizer, I'd probably make a few bucks)

Considering their relatively small number compared to the rest of the population in the US, you're likely to have 100,000 Muslim March.

[but they might be busy]

Maybe they can schedule this on the same day as an LBGT march and the American Pork Association convention.

After all we should be all inclusive.
