Protest in D.C
by Joel from Discrimination against Muslims, Teaching Matters in New York, on November, 22nd 2006attended the protest in Washington DC against the Israeli war in Lebanon and the occuapation of Palestine and Iraq by Israel and the US on Saturday August 12, 2006. It was a hot day and I wasn’t expecting a lot of people to show up, but to my surprise over 40,000 people came from all different backgrounds. They’re were black people, white people, Asians, Muslims, Jews and Christians all protesting and marching together for one cause.
I made my own sign for the protest (as you can see on the picture on the right, courtesy of Junaid Arshad). On one side I had a quote from Shaykh Hamza Yusuf’s video on the Israeli war saying: “The problem is not religion. The problem is the absence of religion.” On the other side it said “Killing children is an act of terrorism.”
