Music-Mogul Russell Simmons Plans “Today, I Am a Muslim too” Rally in Response to Congressman King’s Radical Islam Hearings…
The Islamist-leftist alliance in all its glory.
(Global Grind) — On Sunday March 6, 2011, a broad coalition of over 75 interfaith, nonprofit, governmental, and civil liberties groups will come together in Times Square (42nd Street and 7th Avenue) in support of equitable civil rights for the Today, I Am a Muslim, Too, rally. Taking place in response to upcoming Congressional hearings led by Peter King (R-LI), rally-goers will stand together against bigotry caused by anxiety, misinformation, and ignorance, to show Congress a united American community which seeks to strengthen — not dilute — our bonds of friendship and trust. Organizers of this rally believe one can be a loyal Muslim as well as a loyal American without conflict.
“As invested Americans, we acknowledge the important work of the Congressional Committee on Homeland Security,” said Russell Simmons; Chairman of RUSH Communications. “However, we’re concerned the hearings will send the wrong message and alienate American Muslims instead of partnering with them, potentially putting their lives at risk by inciting fear and enmity.”
Rabbi Marc Schneier, President of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU), has suggested that the hearings should be “broadened in such a way that other ethnic communities and faith communities can attest to the tremendous contribution and solidarity that American Muslims have for our country.”
In addition to Simmons and Rabbi Schneier, additional guests expected to appear include; Imam Shamsi Ali (Islamic Cultural Center), Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (Cordoba Initiative), Rev. Bob Chase (Intersections), Rabbi Peter J. Rubinstein (Central Synagogue), Katherine Henderson (Auburn Theological Seminary), Rev. Chloe Breyer (Interfaith Center of New York), Rev. Amandus J. Derr (St. Peter’s Church), and many other religious, community, and political leaders. There will also be a performance by UN Goodwill Ambassador Salman Ahmad of Junoon Band.
Update: Edward just sent me an updated and more appropriate version of their flier.

I laughed so hard that I pinched a small Muslim in my shorts.
Looks like Glen Beck is right.
Smell toast?
Useful idiots are a key ingredient for Jihad. Do they hate Jews, beat their wives and murder their daughters for texting as well during this period of Musliming?
What a fucking dumbass. Wait till the killing and rapes start here because of our Muslim our reach programs.
I am not a fucking Muslim.. I am a Christian and I would never disrespect my God by showing solidarity with the worst scum in the world..
Hey, I have an idea.. lets have everyones a Christian and Jew day and see how many peace loving Muslim show up in support?
What attractions will they have at the rally?
Stone alleged adulterers?
Behead the infidel?
Fly a plane into a building?
Suicide exploder?
Throw acid in the face of women?
Mutilate the genitals of baby girls?
Screw the goat?
these sympathizers are enabling the jihad
Become a Muslim for one day? That’s not a good idea. Quitting Islam is frowned upon by some.
And by “frowned upon”, I mean they will cut your head off.
Zactly, forest.
So, everyone attending this event will have a FartWah on their head the following day.
Wait until this silly cocksucker finds out the Muzzies eat queers! And I don’t mean sexually either.
And so, Russell, “tomorrow” when you go back to not being a Muslim (as forest beat me to it) you become an apostate.
For wholesome family entertainment, all gays, Jews, inappropriately clothed women and people playing music will be stoned to death.
Russell Simmons is an attention whore. Congressman King’s comments aren’t Islamophobia, there Islamorealistic. Face it, Muslims are chief suppliers of terrorism in this day and age. That’s just the way it is, and libs pointing to isolated acts by non-muslims proves nothing.
Like forest says, these idiots better read up on Muslim apostasy laws, ’cause if you’re a Muslim today you better be a Muslim tomorrow or else.
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
verse 22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools
Is he Richard Simmons’ brother?
I am convinced the Progressives see in Islam fellow travelers and an ally.
At a high level Progressives and Islam share a very similar agenda have similar goals.
Both see the governments, societies, and individuals as perfectible. That perfection can only come through a top down totalitarian system where individual attitudes, behaviors and even thinking is prescribed by elite to conform to the utopia model society they envision.
As such the progressive see the “right” ( conservative, libertarian, classic liberal) who believe in individual liberty, a society built on ordered liberty as more of a threat than the Islamist.
The Islamist sees the progressive as a somewhat useful idiot, who will allow the Islamist, in the name of tolerance etc… free reign to pursue the goals of Jihad.
The Progressive has, due to world view (Sowell’s unconstrained vision) have a blind spot for history and human nature, as such they are incapable of seeing both the fatal flaws of the Progressive agenda and their blithe acceptance of Radical Jidahist Islam as a compatible religious / social / political force in their world.
All of this is further evidence in this administrations confused response to turmoil in the middle east, and failure to clearly identify and respond to the threat of Radical Jihadist Islam.
He should take into consideration all the Christians being slaughtered and raped by Muslims – and he is worrying about potential violence against muslims in America? Hey there is real violence and death to Christians around the world. Who is speaking for them? If I did not read this blog I would not be aware of the extent of this growing Holocaust of Christians in the Middle East.
“Organizers of this rally believe one can be a loyal Muslim as well as a loyal American without conflict”
Belief ignores facts, that is the basis of faith.
It is also the basis of willful blindness. Dangerous willful blindness
I hope a street vendor is frying bacon close to this gathering. We’ll see how strong their new-found “religion” is.
Today, I am a muslim. I keel you !
Time to send in some “exploding Muslims!”
OK, first off Rabbi Marc Schneier needs to keep his mouth shut and read up on the koran. Then he needs to read the posts of JCM and Krystal before being a part of this tacquiya.
Geeesh…anyone can read about islam for free now that the koran is on the internet. Useful idiots all.
I’m writing Peter King to tell him not to back down or give in.
These rabbi’s and Jews involved in this are morons. Islam would have their heads. It’s like Jews rallying behind Nazi’s. Being a Christian more and more I think we really are in the Last Days…the bible says that in the last days many people will be under a great delusion…SERIOUSLY how delusional can one be if not these !
So I guess we can start blaming him when Mooslims start spraying our servicemen with lead and screaming Aluh akbar? Or did we just misunderstand the shooter in Germany and he meant to give our soldiers a 21 gun salute and he missed?
BonelessChuck -
DITTO!
The USURPER obaMAO, his regime, and the Lame SM, all think islamo moslims are such an important majority in the U.S. They are only .06% of the U.S. population.
I hope lil’ Russie also plans to forsake all alcohol (especially the wondrous kind that must have inspired his most recent enlightened, tolerant brainstorm) and renounce his musical-producer support endorsement of scantily-clad, gyrating hip-hop dancers, plus sincerely reverse other “enlightened” support he may so proudly profess for any “alternative” lifestyles that are not in total, 10000000% conformity with sharia law.
Surely he wants to show himself a good (if even just for the day) Muslim???
I’m sure Russ is able to fully apprehend and appreciate how consistent his current lifestyle would be with what these no-compromise-crush-all-dissent Islamists soooo peacefully espouse and simply want to “invite” the rest of the planet to adopt.
Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiight.
Another national-attention-starved useful idiot who is willingly and utterly clueless to the real world.
Dang, but reality has a way of oftentimes quite rudely taking a huge bite out of the @ss of the residents of fantasyland. Unfortunately, it’s the rest of us that must also suffer for their short-sighted and self-focused mistakes in judgement.
“Life’s hard; it’s even harder when you’re stupid!” — The Duke
Stupid Leftists/Liberals/Progressives/Socialists teaming with the Islamists……..
The Islamists will EAT you after you help them win.
“the hearings will send the wrong message and alienate American Muslims instead of partnering with them, potentially putting their lives at risk by inciting fear and enmity.”
Muslims lives being put at risk? That’s rich. OUR lives are at risk every day with them living among us.
Some congressional hearings that most people will never hear about isn’t what incites “fear and enmity”. It’s the ever-increasing attacks by Muslims on non-Muslims not only in the US but around the world that do that.
Also, if you state the hearings would ‘incite fear and enmity’, you obviously know that some uncomfortable truths will be exposed. Apparently, the Left is comfortable not knowing the truth about Islam and believing in their own PC version of it.
TODAY I AM A HELLFIRE MISSILE…
Yeah Marc!
Today and every day, I am a Crusader!
If he is a Muslim today then he’d best be one tomorrow too; conversion from Islam is a crime punishable by death. Not sure they recognize “honorary” or “temporary” members.
What everyone, including Mr Simmons, is failing to forget is: Congressman King’s hearing is about is ” RADICAL ISLAM,” that has nothing to do with peaceful lwa abding Muslims, and especially those that live in America! So what Mr Simmons has effecively done is associate those Muslims with Radical Islamists. Way to go…what happened to critical reading skillz.
I LOVE YOU, ROSE!
these hip-hop cRappers and promoters are totally in bed with muslims via the Nation of Islam and it’s off shoots (5 percenters, Nation of Gods and Earths etc) they have been and are still practicing cultural jihad against america

New York is now the sewer treatment MECCA of the United States. It needs to be flushed.
Russ has been taking idiot lessons from Michael Bloomberg.
Does the Air Force have any Daisycutters (BLU-82) they aren’t using? [easy there folks, just kidding, I don't have anything large enough to drop ordnance like that] How about dog turds in a paper sack lit on fire and then ringing their doorbell?
They think it’s hip and all that to be a muzzy….wonder if they’d be all fired up about someone arranging a meeting between them and allah.
What we need is a million man (it would have to be man) Muslim march AGAINST radical Islam. Show up and vocally denounce the members of your group who are blowing people up all over the world. Say the words “I am an American exercising my freedom of Religion”, not I am a Muslim advocating for Sharia Law over America.
“On Sunday… a coalition of …civil liberties groups will come together…in support of equitable civil rights.” –Daily Grind (“The Voice of Hip-Pop”[sic])
Well sure…who wouldn’t be for “equitable civil rights”? Because ever since 9-11 we’ve been seeing daily reports of U.S. Muslims being slaughtered by roving gangs of Christian red-necks, and it’s just *sickening*!
Oh, wait…that was gangs of Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria or some other bum-fuck country.
But surely *everyone* recalls the cases of U.S. Muslims being denied the right to vote, or having their property seized by roving gangs of redneck… oh, wait–that also was in Bumfuck, Africa.
But…but…but…if Muslims aren’t losing their civil rights in the U.S., what the hell is the purpose of the rally noted above? Could it be to try to build public sentiment against Rep. King and the GOP, so that GOP congress critters will keep their heads down and not press for investigations of terrorist activities by a relatively small number of U.S. Muslims?
Doesn’t matter what day it is and it doesn’t matter what we tell ourselves we are all just a bunch of humans. We can tell ourselves there is no God but it doesn’t make it the truth. We can tell ourselves that our graves are the end but it doesn’t make it the truth. We can tell ourselves that it won’t cost us to be like we are but it doesn’t make it the truth. We can tell ourselves we are better than other humans but it doesn’t make it the truth. God is no respecter of any humans and if any of us make it it will only be because of what He has done not us.
Lastmanstanding: awesome comment, but very demeaning to feces everywhere……….
Does anyone have a link to a list of all the “interfaith” groups that are selling their souls to the spirit of the anti-christ? I would appreciate knowing who all I need to add to my “be suspect of” list.
