Islamic Center of Phoenix Protest and CNN's Hypocrisy

About 500 protesters gathered at the Islamic Center of Phoenix last night. They were divided into two groups: First Amendment/Second Amendment demonstrators and Muslims and other religious demonstrators holding signs for peace and tolerance.

In Iran & other Muslim nations,
 Cooper would be executed

In fact, some of the signs quoted biblical verses, but no sign made mention of the fact that the Bible is not allowed to even enter Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia, and Jews themselves are not even permitted to enter these countries.

As I blogged yesterday, Jon Ritzheimer, a former Marine, wanted to hold this demonstration to protest the so-called religion of Islam because he believes it is a violent religion. He may have gotten that idea from the way the most religious of Islam conduct themselves in the world, or perhaps from the history of the religion, the behavior of their prophet, Mohammad, or the Islamic scripture calling for the killing of all those who refuse to convert to Islam or pay a heavy tax to support Islamic conquests. 

Who knows? (See ISIS because they are following Islam religiously.)

In any case, no violence was committed by the peaceful Muslims and Christians who counter-protested. Thus, nobody got beheaded, immolated, hung, stoned, crucified, or shot. No Jews were pelted with stones or murdered, and no gays were killed either.

Muslim peacefully pointed at cop

The anti-Islam protesters shot nobody and exercised their free speech, like it or not.

Let's face it, when Muslims protest peacefully, that's news. What does that tell you?

CNN (Certainly Not News) reported on the rally via KNXV, their affiliate. The reporter tried to seem impartial, but you need to judge for yourself as she works her way through the crowd. 

Islam is the most bigoted religion,
which makes this an oxymoron

The CNN report sums up their bias: "His T-shirt pretty much says it all: 'F--- Islam.' Some of the counter-protesters wore shirts that said, 'Love Thy Neighbor.'"

CNN did not show some of the counter-protesters or signs the counter-protesters held--it went against their message.

Anderson Cooper, who interviewed Jon Ritzheimer on CNN, did not mention that had the interview taken place in a Muslim country and it was discovered Cooper was gay, he would be executed.

I believe Ritzheimer's rally is a bad idea only because there are better ways to make the American public aware of Islam's intolerance. With the Christian dhimmies and their counter-protest, the anti-Islam protesters appear to be the intolerant ones while it is truly Islam that earns the label.

However, and this is absolutely the most important thing about this rally, Ritzheimer has every right to protest and there ought to be no "buts" about it.

I just wish he could have made a better case to unveil Islam for what it really is rather than looking like "the bad guy." Still, I stand with him and his fellow protesters and I stand with the U.S. Constitution and against Sharia.
