Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

AFDI rally: Support Israel and persecuted religious minorities, Union Square, August 17, 4pm

Aug 12, 2014 7:49 am By Robert Spencer

afdi-pro-israel-rallyOn Sunday, August 17, from 3:45 to 7PM, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) will be hosting a rally in New York City’s Union Square from 3:45 to 7PM. Speakers from a huge variety of backgrounds will stand for Israel and all the minority populations worldwide that are threatened by the global jihad.

Speakers will include AFDI President Pamela Geller; AFDI Vice President and Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer; Sudanese freedom activist Simon Deng; Ashraf Ramelah, the head of Voice of the Copts; Mark Arabo, a leader of the Chaldean American community; Israeli scholar Mordechai Kedar, and a host of other representing the populations around the world that face the greatest threat today from Islamic jihad violence and supremacism. Also invited are Indian, Yazidi, Kurdish, Sikh, Assyrian and Buddhist leaders.

AFDI’s Geller said in a statement: “Israel is on the front lines of the global jihad, and we stand resolutely and proudly with her. We must also remember that the same jihad that threatens Israel threatens free people around the world. That’s why we are featuring speakers from groups from around the world – people who have experienced the horror of Islamic jihad firsthand. We need to unite and stand together for freedom.”

    Supporting Israel clearly means you again proved “YOU ALWAYS SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE TERRORISM” as an international and collective policy.

    • Jay Boo says

      Aug 12, 2014 at 8:20 am

      “We are being butchered under the banner of no god but Allah”

      You should support Israel not the savages.

      Islam is filth. It has always been filth.
      Muhammad is filth.
      Allah is filth.

      Yes Abu it’s true. Supporting Israel does encourage Islamic spawned terrorism…And you’re right jihad terrorism does seem to be a collective and international policy among jihadists and their supporters. The reasons for this is a little obscure, but it may have something to do with the Quran and examples of Mahound. Allah did identify himself as a terrorist, and Mahound did say he had been made victorious by terror, which made terrorism sunnah. But I suppose Abu, I don’t have to tell you about that…

        “Supporting Israel does encourage Islamic spawned terrorism”
        also
        Not supporting Israel does encourages Islamic spawned terrorism

        Not dealing properly with Islam encourages
        “We are being butchered under the banner of no god but Allah”

    If you want live in peace in Europe support Isreal.Isreal is the first defence line of Europe.Muslims wants to invade Europe with population.Quran give instructions to muslims to terrorise Kafirs.

      This is why Muslims talk of reoccupying Spain.
      They wish to get a foothold to bypass immigration borders and further infest the rest of Europe.
      If politicians are not willing to stop the current level of immigration infiltration then why not just send the welfare entitlement allotments directly to the Muslim countries instead of paying both the cost and having to deal with hate filled mosques.

        Spoil sport ( sarc !!! )
        and deny all those Muslim psychopaths the fun of gang raping all those 9 years old girls, chopping of infidel heads, crucifying kaffars, burning Christian churches and books, buying and selling sex slaves ( little boys fetch top dollar ). Where´s the fun in benefit hand outs and food stamps ????

    Allah and Prophet Muhammad are not filth and Islam is not filth.So stop barking like a dog.

      “Allah and Prophet Muhammad are not filth and Islam is not filth.”

      You are so very right!!! They are both lower than filth.

      • hammar says

        Aug 13, 2014 at 9:17 am

        mo the ham was the first terrorist and also a child raper. These are facts
        that have been proven time and time again. Only people who are illiterate follow islam and its false ways. No heaven but hell for them.

    Islam is peace.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Aug 12, 2014 at 3:36 pm

      No. Islam is the religion, or cult, of blood and war.

      It is an abomination, producing nothing but desolation and delusion.

      The more I see of it – the more I learn about it – the more deeply I reject and despise it.

    • Western Canadian says

      Aug 12, 2014 at 10:02 pm

      islam is peace?? Only in being the ‘peace’ of the grave, after the hideous screaming in agony while being tortured.

    Isn’t this rally at the same time as the Mahoundian 1.5 million man march against Sunni ISIS violence?

      I just signed and it’s bloody brilliant! People from all walks of life from all political points are coming together to condemn this reactionary, fascist hatred spouting from Galloway’s mouth!
      The silent majority have spoken. He can’t call us all ‘right wing knuckle draggers’ or, his favourite, the vile abelist statement ‘legitimately insane’.
      If he doesn’t humble himself and step down he has no shame, and if he is still defended by his own party the whole lot should be taken down for the haters and racists they are.

    Well done guys . That is the way to go. This is not about race , this is not even about religion and it is also not about cultures . It is about humanity against clear and present evil in the world. ISLAM.

    • RKM says

      Aug 13, 2014 at 3:12 pm

      Agreed. The race argument fails automatically. As the great Chris Hitchens said, a racist is someone who thinks the human race is subdivided into different races.

      Or something like that.

  9. Bettina says

    Well, guys, I just met a Liberal Jew who has “wonderful” muslim friends. I agreed that many muslims are good people… and pointed out that it’s the koran & the traditions that are infested with evil. She tried hard to find something uplifting there, pointing out the charitable nature of her muslim acquaintances. I acknowledged that charity is one of the pillars, and the argument faded out in the midst of a large family gathering.

    She remained antagonistic toward me, and I’m thinking she’s part of an idiotic inter-faith outreach org or a left-leaning synagogue. What kind of schizoid thinking is this for a Jew who must also admit to loyalty to Israel? Does the blind relativism of these liberals ever end??

    This is the first rally I’ve seen for the Christians who are being murdered all over the Middle East. The west sat silently while 6 million Jews died and is doing nothing while Christians are dying. Here is a chance to do something.

  11. Buraq says

    Aug 13, 2014 at 10:55 am

    The rally should also call for the anointing of Netanyahu as King of Israel. Then he’d be Bibi King!

    Go Israel!

    • RKM says

      Aug 13, 2014 at 1:15 pm

      I see what you did there. And I echo:

      Go Israel! Go natural, basic human freedom.

  12. RKM says

    Aug 13, 2014 at 1:13 pm

    I would say God bless all who attend this, except I know that the Great Spirit is Lord of ALL… that which our finite human minds define as Good AND Evil.

    So I’ll say I’m a human on a path. I’m monitoring history, my own existence and current events, and that I would be there, humbly, a Sailor in his dress blues, with five gold stripes, and tomahawk in hand if I could.
