The webpage for The Islamic Thinkers Society is down, but here's background on the NY-based group. It reportedly has connections around the world - some of them very disturbing.
Apparently they're big on free speech - when it comes to defacing the American flag, anyway. And you'll see Americans standing around watching. Contrast this video with Muslim reaction to a few cartoons. And keep in mind, this is New York.
This flag also represents oppression, not only in the Muslim world, but also other parts of the world which includes but not limited to South America, Vietnam, Japan & Africa. We would like to clarify that we DID NOT BURN THE FLAG as the rumors say. Rather, we stepped on it and ripped it. The video is evident of that. What we did was completely legal and protected by the American Constitutional Amendment."
For more info on the group see Rusty's posts here here and here.
Read the interview [and weep] with Kristine Withers. She is a brave woman who has tried to stop this group at various staged events.
[SNIP] Anyway the police came finally. After a few minutes finding out about the incident, they took me away alone. This even after I informed them that I was assaulted, a fact which was verified by a few witnesses. When I asked the officer why they did not bring the people who assaulted me in, I was told that "since 9/11 we have to bend over backwards for them."

true! we should NOT let the fascists get away with this...Down with the Chaimberlains we need our Churchill!Unfortunatly the only way to fight them is to stoop to their level of totalitairian war. WW2 style tactics are warranted.
First up Irans nuclear facilities posing a direct threat to us all...withdraw troops from iraq apart from a few bases and develop hydrogen technology like it was WW2 and we were pumping out shermans. Let them keep their worthless oil...oil has become too valuable and they use the proceeds to attack our way of life...We shall not go the way of the romans!There is only one nation capable of such quick political paradigmshift...the good old US of A.
or am I stampeding through a cabinet with porcelain thee sets?
