Eye On The World Covers 9/11 Rally From Manhattan

Our old friend, Watcher, did an excellent job covering the 9/11 Rally in Manhattan yesterday.

Here's a video of the Coptic Christian, Joseph Nasrallah, giving an emotional speech.



Go to Eye on the World to see all the coverage.

Robert has the full text of Geert Wilders' speech up at JihadWatch. Do something good for yourself today and read it.

Nasralla was electrifying. He's got a voice like a amplified air horn so the mics were redundant. It was chilling when he warned that it we do not stop this mosque (and all other stealth jihad projects like it) they will have
the US in their grip like they do Egypt. But if the lies and taqiyya and behind-the-scenes deals with the Left are not exposed it will obviously be much worse that it is.

Last I saw of Nasrallah (I had a beer with some Boston people at the pub down the street), he was standing on a corner arguing very forcefully with some idiot in a red and white keffiyah.

Btw -- the EDL was there! At least 6 of the leaders flew over, banners and all. It was good to see them there.

All the speeches yesterday were terrific, but the very best ones were by Wilders, Pantano, Bolton and Nasralla.

P.S.: Thanks, Pastorius.

WOW-a Coptic Christian-from CA via Eygypt!!!
I am not easily impressed --and - having met many 'famous' people- I usually do not care to meet someone--this man I would love to meet-just to shake his hand and say-"Thank you -Sir- for speaking boldly for Freedom!"
Thank you Pastorius-this will be 'swiped' for a post this week!

Indeed we currently are blessed to provide a refuge for Copts and other persecuted minorities seeking first amendment protections in this country.
But will we fight hard enough to keep it that way?
*****BTW, here's a little history on the identity "Copt" presented atThe Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom on July 18,2008. A quote from Bishop Thomas:

"The word “Copts” doesn’t ring a big bell for many ears. Sometimes [people here] don’t know what are Copts, who are they, and why they are called Copts. That’s why I felt that it is worth it to start by explaining why we are called Copts and the explanation might tell you a little bit of the dilemma we have.
Egypt has been always Aigyptos and everybody knew Egypt as Aigyptos. In the 7th Century there was a shift in the name and the country. When the Arabs came to Egypt, or, rather, invaded Egypt, they could not pronounce Aigyptos because of the linguistic differences. They pronounced it Gypt; so they took away the “Ai” and the “os.” So Aigyptos became Gypt, and, when they wrote it, they wrote it with a “Ka” so it became “Copt.” The whole country was that of the Copts.
But gradually, for various reasons, whether because of taxation or pressure of some kind, or ambitions in dealing with the leaders or the governors of the country, some people converted. Those who converted were no longer Copts. They became something else, and those who remained Christians were the ones who were called “the Copts.”

Pastorius,

He's definitively correct in many of his assertions unfortunately. I just hope that much of what he says turns out to be an extreme exaggeration. One of the things we could do to help stop the Islamitization is to get off oil. A large portion of the world's petroleum comes from Islamic States. Getting rid of a large portion of the Stealth Jihad's resources will help to cripple their efforts.

Damien, you 'hope' that what he says turns out to be an extreme exaggeration.
"Hope" brought this country the current occupant of the oval office. Who would have believed that in less than a decade after the act of war perpetrated against this country, we would find ourselves frustrated by the media, the president, the mayor about a triumphalist mosque planted on Ground Zero by the enemy? Ten years is not a significant amount of time when dealing with Islam. The treaty of Hudabiyya only permits a truce to last ten years. Never underestimate this enemy.

Anonymous,

Saying I hope, is not the same as saying I assume, or I will do nothing or we should do nothing. I'm also not saying we should act on "hope"
