Demonstrators are set to gather in Times Square later today to protest an upcoming congressional hearing on Muslims and homegrown terrorism.
The rally is set for 2 p.m.
It was organized by a coalition of more than 100 interfaith, nonprofit and government organizations who claim the hearing will demonize and alienate U.S. Muslims.
Among those expected to attend are the Reverend Al Sharpton and the imam who was a key supporter of Park 51, the proposed mosque near the World Trade Center.
A group calling itself the Liberty Alliance plans to hold a counter-rally in support of the hearing, which is set for Thursday.
The hearing was scheduled by Long Island Congressman Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
It’s the first in a series of planned hearings on “radicalization” among U.S. Muslims.

Lets pretend the U.S. is NOT stupid for a change, and we actually consider the uprising in the middle east will cause some unrest here in the U.S. should we not be prepared for it?
Why do they hate you?
Because you hate them! You want to behead them and castrate their corpses! Or blow them all up to smithereens and send ’em to kingdom come!
was the sign a question about why they hate
us or were they asking why we hate them. i q=guess one could ask when is the last time that a pete or john or eliyohu or avrohom was arrested for terrorism . what a coincidence that the names always sound like mohamd or ahmad
To the person in the picture holding the sign, I truly feel bad for you that you haven’t figured it out.
I am very happy that other faiths too are concern about Radical Muslims. Please watch this video http://www.iraniumthemovie.com/
I actually bought the video which is very good. IT is so bothersome that people in this country are so worried about being “politically” correct in calling these people Murders or Terrorist! The video shows how they are brainwashed at birth to HATE America…destroy America! Wipe out Isreal (G-d forbid). Instead we live in a country that wants to come up with “sancations”..they laugh at us….it means nothing! B”H as Frum Jews we get what this all means. We also know that if we continue to do the right things Hashem will protect us. The world may be upside down down, but it will change soon. Hashem will help
i disagree, when one studies the history of population genetics you can see that the west has in the past and is currently finding any reason at all to kill middle easterners. this situation is nothing new at all, always the same people killing the same people.
always a different reason.
what was russias reason for its continuous assault on its southern population, and on its jewish population before that… what was their reason for american indians, and africans, what was their reason for every single other ethnic group of people they’ve ever encountered. their killing middle easterners, the death toll’s there for everyone to see, their specific targets are very obvious. nobody ever started a fight with the west, just allot of victims.
Where did that guy in the picture get the cool Haman mask?
Al Sharpton protesting Peter King. Two rashaim. Beautiful.
Wow sick of you to compare a Jew hater to King.
