We are tolerant of a great many things in America. But it would be good to see this protest by R.E.A.L. draw some support.
Although the group dismisses democracy - the theme of Sunday's conference is the "Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam" - they hope to elect one Muslim worldwide ruler, or caliph, and hold that person accountable.
There's more info on both groups available via links above. Here's the protest link, again. This is all happening on July 19 on Chicago's Southside.
A controversial Islamic group is hosting a conference at the Oak Lawn Hilton Sunday, bringing with it a message of the evils of capitalism.
It' s called Hizb ut-Tahrir America, a faction of the international Hizb ut-Tahrir group, which advocates for implementing Islamic doctrine across the globe by organizing into a unified caliphate, a form of rule based on the Islamic religion.


And I'll bet the great Xerxes will be the keynote speaker!!!!

"-- We are tolerant of a great many things in America. --"
And then with the race-baiting and bigotry. Might want to look up the term "we" in the dictionary, Dan. It may not mean what you think it means.

I can't think of a more appropriate venue than ChicagoLand to hold an Islamofascism conference. I wonder if Reverend Wright, Father Phleger, Ayers and the ghost of Saul Alinsky will be there to cheer them on? Is ChicagoLand a fascism mecca or what?

This country is getting ready to explode. Protests will be everywhere about everything going on in our country.
People have had just about enough.
If this cap trade and tax bill passes and the health bill passes then you aint seen nothing yet.
Prepare to duck for cover. I am sure there will be a lot of crap flying.
