The ‘Million Muslim March’ was first announced in January, and is being organized by the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), a fringe group led by M.D. Rabbi Alam, a professed 9/11 truther who has pushed controversial anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the attacks. Last year, he made a failed bid for Missouri’s secretary of state, and his group has been doing little besides trying to attract national attention ever since.
AMPAC was finally successful on Thursday, when Breitbart News reported on the event, calling it “tasteless” and including an unrelated picture of hundreds of Muslims praying in front of the Capitol. Fox News later broke from their coverage of the violent military crackdown in Egypt, which has left nearly 600 dead and thousands injured, to give viewers an “alert” on the so-called “Million Muslim March,” and going so far as to note that the total supporters of the event could currently be counted on two hands. A Facebook page for the “Million Muslim March” — which previously showed less than 10 people planning to attend — had been taken down.
Organizers of the “Million Muslim March” have defended the timing of their event by noting that “Muslim[s] and Non Muslim[s] alike were traumatized” on Sept. 11, 2001.
What do you think? Why is it in poor taste? Not every Muslim is a terrorist!
