Anti-Muslim Protests Scheduled Nationwide: 'Global Rally For Humanity' Calls On Demonstrations

An anti-Islam group has called on "patriots" to hold demonstrations in front of mosques across the country in October. Responding to the call, protests organized under the name "Global Rally For Humanity" have already been scheduled for Oct. 9 and 10 in at least 20 locations, including Charleston, South Carolina; Atlanta; Dearborn, Michigan; and Phoenix, Imagine 2050 reported Tuesday. Some of the organizers have encouraged demonstrators to leave their weapons at home, while others have encouraged participants to utilize their right to bear arms, the website said.

“As this invasion of Muslim colonization continues unchecked on American soil, we can only expect the same suffering now endured by EUROPE [caps sic],” a Facebook page for a protest in Dearborn, a city outside of Detroit with a large Muslim population, said. “Now is the time to act. Now is the time to save our Republic.”

An anti-Muslim rally held in front of an Islamic community center in Phoenix in May attracted hundreds of armed protesters, as well as hundreds of counter-protesters, and made international news headlines. Jon Ritzheimer, the organizer of the May protest, said at the time he would like to see similar events in other states, and has endorsed the upcoming October protests on his Facebook page.
