U.S. Islamic activists are uniting with a leading anti-war group to hold a civil rights march and rally they tout as the largest gathering of Muslims ever in the nation's capital.

Participants in the May 24 event "will demand an end to the mounting attack on the civil rights of Muslims in America" since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the organizer, the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation.

"The time has come where we must draw a line in the sand, stand up for ourselves, and demand an immediate and unconditional halt to the Bush administration's profiling, harassment, and abuse of our community," said Mahdi Bray, the foundation's executive director, in a statement.

Bray, who has called the U.S. war on terrorism a "war against Islam," joined several other Muslims in October 2001 to pray in front of the State Department and denounce U.S. military action in Afghanistan.

I would agree, except it's been Muslims who have been wanting to see all Americans dead as soon as possible. USS Cole, 9/11, Embassy bombings, and even the Riyadh attacks recently. Profiling right now is just good sense, not racist.

The reason these fools feel that they can draw a line in the sand is because we haven’t dug a large enough hole in the sands of Islam. I wanted freedom and democracy for the Iraqi people but they seem to be leaning toward theocracy.

It is time that all Muslims be expelled from this planet. They can be looking for a place to go as we heard them back into the Mecca desert.
