WASHINGTON – It was originally billed as “The Million Muslim March,” though organizers later revised it to the “Million American March Against Fear.” But at noon Wednesday in the nation’s capital, there weren’t a million Muslims or Americans to be found anywhere – not even close. In fact, a WND-TV news crew on the scene, preparing to provide live coverage of the event in a webcast, was unable to locate any of the marchers who were supposed to go from the National Mall to the Supreme Court and the White House. The Weekly Standard had reported on Tuesday that police were expecting “the size of the March will be somewhere in the hundreds, not thousands, of participants.” Mark Segraves of the NBC affiliate in Washington reported that only “about 25 people,” including activist Cornel West, were at the Muslim march as of 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, with a group of Christians about the same size nearby. However, the counterprotest by bikers was in evidence everywhere. Driving in from Canada and all over the United States, the bikers, who were denied a permit for their demonstration, were flooding the capital. At approximately 1 p.m., “2 Million Bikers to DC” Facebook page co-founder Belinda Bee posted that police have counted nearly one million bikers are on the streets of Washington. The name of the “Million Muslim March” was changed to the “Million American March Against Fear” because organizers said the original name proved too “scary.” In fact, The American Muslim Political Action Committee was criticized for scheduling the march on the anniversary of 9/11. But, organizers insist the name was changed because, “Many non-Muslim Americans are terrified of Muslims, who are portrayed by Hollywood and the US media as fanatical terrorists.” AMPAC also claims, “Muslims, too, live in fear – of being dragged off in the night to Guantanamo and tortured, simply for the crime of being Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Organizers refused to change the date of the march, so significant to Americans because of the terrorist attacks by fanatical Muslims 12 years ago, because, “September 11th, 2001 was the beginning of a new era of fear. Since 9/11, Americans have been terrorized by the media.” “They have been taught to fear their neighbors. They have been inculcated with fear of other religions. They have been brainwashed into fearing people with brown skins, turbans, and foreign accents,” claims AMPAC. Million Muslim March organizer M.D. Rabbi Alam addresses an empty field and 25 people where a million Muslims were supposed to be. The Huffington Post reported: “Organizers at the group American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC) didn’t exactly do a lot to engender sympathy for an event held on one of the most emotionally charged days of the year. The group is led by M.D. Rabbi Alam, a professed 9/11 truther who has pushed controversial anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the attacks. AMPAC’s plans outraged conservative outlets earlier this year, though many cited the religion of the organizing group, rather than the fringe beliefs behind the event.” The bikers, meanwhile, have stated their opposition to President Obama’s push to “fundamentally transform” the U.S. Radio giant Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday the American public as a whole did not understand what Obama was intending to do when he campaigned in 2008 with that remark. “They had no idea that fundamentally transforming the United States of America meant turning the Constitution of the United States on its head,” Limbaugh said. “They had no idea that transforming the United States of America meant getting rid of capitalism and replacing it with socialism. They had no idea that it meant co-opting one-sixth of the U.S. economy by the government, the health-care business. They had no idea what Obama was promising. They thought they knew, but they didn’t. Some of them may now not even know, but the bikers in D.C. know – and knew.” There is a major difference in the Facebook pages for the two 9/11 events. The Million American March Against Fear page has a paltry 295 Facebook likes, and has not posted any photos of their rally as of 2 p.m. But on the 2 Million Bikers to DC Facebook page, there are 196,000 likes, and many photos of the bikers rolling into the nation’s capital. "Conservative American Military Veterans against Barack Obama" is also rallying in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2013 Read more at ’2 Million Bikers’ roar over Muslims in D.C.
I have know bikers, who would break you in half for the fun of it, and I have know bikers who would get your cat out of a tree for you. i rode for MDA (Jerry's kids) and went door to door for sponsors and donations. Some of the evilest looking bikers I ever met were "Bikers for Christ", and they smelled like they never bathed. You just can't judge people by appearances.
As a rider, I reserve the right to disagree with other riders/bikers. Give us all something to get behind, and all the arguments cease, we mount up and go. Wish I could have made the run.
Think the word fear is a misnomer. I do not fear the ragheads but prepare for their madness in every way I can. Fear is not in my vocabulary when it concerns the scumbag peaceful nobammy people. Am fed up to the gills with their "peaceful" ways, intimidations, tortures, and killings. To h--- with them and their 72 virgin martyr jihad crap. Getting time to show them exactly what "jihad" is on the other cheek.
I have NO USE, for Muslims in general, as I just do NOT know any. If I did know some, their religion would be that LAST thing I would Judge them by. Now their ACTIONS, on the other hand, are of considerable concern to ME, personally. If I did know any Muslims, I would ask them if they condone, or condemn, what their fellow Muslims, are threatening to do to Syria Christians. "Convert or Die" Their answer would determine for "Me" if I had any further interest in them, or their Friendship.
I have on occasion wondered if our law enforcement and military advertised extensively that their ammo was all coated in dried pig's blood and would render the jihadist unclean and deny them the mystical virgins, if there might be a bit less enthusiasm to become a martyr for the cause. Just thinking...
OUTSTANDING! And I guess the DC police decided it might not be the best time to enforce that bogus no permit crap. A round of applause to all who made the ride!And a safe ride home.
Permit ?? Permit my ass !! Former Marine here, and if I decide to visit my Nations Capitol, no matter what vehicle I take to get there: Permit ? We don't need no stinking permit !!!
Exactly Cabo... The Permit was for a Demonstration, NOT just to show up and ride around.... Good for Our Biker Brothers & Sisters...... Well Done....
55 MILES LONG, 4 LANES WIDE, NO WONDER THE NEWS IS SILENT ON THIS REVOLUTION!! | The Wilderness of Mirrors I do believe the American outrage over what is happening to our country is starting to take root in a new motivation, to take back our county from the corrupt/power hungry/controlling/oppresive .gov and the entitlement society that we all loath. Those in all corners of the government and the mainstream media- will only continue to ignore our anger, at their peril... Now if we can wake up all the sheep, then we can make some real changes to what has corrupted our society... YD
I followed this event via FB. When the bikers arrived in town the DC traffic cams had rolling blackouts or as later discovered unrealistic images of the streets. One image on a traffic cam showed snow! The 2 Million Bikes to DC was a very patriotic move and people cheered. Why did "they' want to hide it? Why do they want to discourage patriotism?
I donate to the Children's Hospital ride. I have seen these big burly guys become marshmallows at the sight of the sick children. Hopefully this ride will help inspire and motivate people to regain their patriotism.
I find it interesting, that those most able to show their patriotism and disdain quite openly, are those looked upon traditionally as outlaws and rebels.
I don't really think that is quite what I mean. It is more the rebel spirit is less likely to care what the cost is, to be free and independent. There is less refinement and civilization holding a response in check. The rebel is more likely to react, than wait and see.
