From the time the Pilgrims arrived on American soil, faith in God played an important part in shaping our nation. Images of Moses adorn the Supreme Court in recognition of the Judeo-Christian origin of our laws. But it was Taxes, loss of Liberty and oppression from a mad king that led our Founding Fathers to write The Declaration of Independence and start The American Revolution. Today, those who stand for these ideals no longer call themselves The Silent Majority because we are silent no more.
Loud competition. Very loud. And
lots of it! You get 2 million American biker patriots revving their
engines when Muslims start lifting their asses to Allah on the front
lawn of the U.S. Capitol building on 9/11.
Bryan Short: “How appropriate. A million muslims surrounded by 2 million hogs!”
At the Mr. Conservative blog, the
author said: “The best way to counter bad speech is to oppose it with
good speech. Sometimes ‘speech’ can be expressed simply by the number of
people who are willing to show up to support a principle. That’s the
view that hundreds of bikers (so far) across American have as they
prepare to join a ’2 Million Biker Ride to DC’ to counter the planned
Sept. 11 ‘Million Muslim March.’
On the Facebook page, the community
purpose is described as: “To honor those who were killed on 911 and our
armed forces who fought those who precipitated this attack!” More than
16,000 “likes” had been generated in just a short time.
“We have now created the final phase
for states to coordinate! All riders need to look at the state list,
choose your state and request to be added! Several states still need
coordinators,” is included in the instructions. Four dozen pages to
coordinate delegations from individuals states already exist.
A Ronald Curaba said: “Who ever
comments I would like to do this … should shut up and show up! Im a
retired FDNY Lt. I should be at my old firehouse where I was on that ill
fated day …. but I will be in DC riding! God willing!”
Organizers of the page added: “Folks,
just wanted to say thank you for your support. This event has been a lot
of work. But for our country it is worth it. As with any event such as
this we are being attacked from every angle. But we will not allow those
distractions to deter us from our goal nor the goal of the originator
of this event Mr. Bill Williamson.”
“God Bless Ride Safe,” added Tammy Bowman.
“Ride on brothers,” said Bob Halley.
“Don’t forget ya’ll don’t need a bike
to participate. Support vehicles will be needed. I suppose most of the
U.S. will be there in spirit. Those of us who are lucky to still have
employment still need to work their knickers off to survive these days.
Perhaps red/white/blue boys can adorn people’s homes in support?”
suggested Trish Zysk.
Options for those who cannot make the
trek to D.C.? “Organize a ride to your own state Capitol! Get with
like-mined folks and get started planning! Someone take a lead in your
state and get the event in motion.”
While the American Muslim Political
Action Committee originally billed its offering as the “Million Muslim
March,” it now has been changed to the “Million American March Against
Fear.” The promoters initially said
their march was to protest “anti-Islamic bigotry in the years that
ensued the al-Qaida terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on
American soil.”
Now the group says its goal is to “ask
all individuals and organizations working for peace to attend this
collective action to tell our government leaders we want transparency
and policies of peace.
In the past 12 years since 9/11 the
United States government as failed to protect and promote constitutional
liberties and human life, here and abroad. We feel that accountability
in government has been ignored and the time has arrived to collectively
speak truth to power.”
An early statement from the group
said, “On 9.11.01 our country was forever changed by the horrific events
in New York. The entire country was victimized by the acts done on that
day. Muslim and non Muslim alike were traumatized but we as Muslims
continue 12 years later to be victimized by being made the villains. To
this day every media outlet and anti Islamic organization has committed
slanderous and libel statements against us as Muslims and our religion
of Islam.”
