9/11 families were joined
by immigrants from India, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Africa, Iran and Europe to
show opposition to the construction of a mega-mosque at Ground Zero. Others
flew in from overseas to speak or just to share their particular ethnic
communities' experiences at the hands of Muslims.

These are parents and
spouses of firefighters killed on 9/11. The rally took place just a
minute's walk from Ladder 10 Firehouse, where their loved ones were
stationed for duty that terrible day. Ladder 10 lost seven firefighters.

Crowd estimates ranged from
5,000 (NYPD) to 10,000. The crowd overflowed the police barrier enclosures
that ran the full length of two city blocks. This photo shows the enclosure
in front of the stage at the intersection of Liberty and Church Streets. The
second enclosure ran the length of the next block and can be seen on the
other side of the traffic lights.

"Ground Zero is a war
memorial, Ground Zero is a burial ground. We are asking for sensitivity. It
is unconscionable to build a shrine to the very ideology that inspired the
jihadist attacks at Ground Zero, right there. We are asking the imam Rauf
and Daisy Khan to be sensitive. For mutual respect and mutual understanding
that is demanded of us every day.

There's a hair-trigger
sensitivity in the Muslim world, you can't run the cartoons, you can't say
Mohammed, this is offensive. This is an offensive mosque. To build a
shrine, an Islamic flag of conquest on the sacred ground the cherished
site, of a conquered land. This is historic, this is Islamic history. It's
what they do. The St. Sofia in Turkey , the al-Quds, at the holiest Jewish
site in Israel . Not here. This is where we take a stand. We must take
a stand. We must say no."

I do not believe that the landmarks commission
controlled by Mayor Bloomberg, is going to stop this mosque. It's not going
to happen. Here's Omar Muhamedi, on his human rights council, a CAIR
lawyer, who sued the airlines and the Jane and John Does that saw
something and said something on those airplanes, if
you remember. That's who's on his human rights commission. It ain't gonna
happen with Bloomberg. We have to make it happen. You have
to get involved." (Pamela Geller)

Port Authority and NYPD
officers kept watch over the rally and were well aware of the need for
heightened security at this event. One of their own Port Authority
officers, WTC Sergeant Alan T. De Vona was on duty at the World Trade
Center on 9/11, 2001, and was one of the first to help victims of the
terrorist attack. He spoke these words to the SIOA rally:

"It's almost nine years.
I'm hoping that America is watching. I'm hoping that America is
remembering. Because, make no mistake. September 11 was an act of war. And
thank the military that has lost almost 5,000 troops from that day,
defending us. I don't know what to say to jar America 's memory. I want
America to remember.

The issues at stake will
certainly affect the heart of American freedom, democracy, cultural values
and tolerance. America is a tolerant country that allows for the free
worship of all its citizens. But our tolerance has limits. Do we have to
tolerate intolerant Islamic ideology and Muslims who preach intolerant
Islam?"

"Radical Islamists are
killing people in India , trying to dominate that nation. And here too they
come with violence against "infidels." We are "infidels
united," standing together, brown, black and white, against this
epoch's fascist movement. Radical Islam wants to dominate entire
world. They want everyone to surrender. Islam radical or otherwise. They want to put the Islamic flag on White House."

Because of Islamic
terrorism, America and the world have seen massive new security measures
become a way of life. Anyone openly critical of Islam, or terrorist
ideology, must surround themselves with security, or live in hiding. Those
courageous enough to confront Islamism are criticized by the cowards and
appeasers of the left who seek safety by supporting the enemy. Moderate
Muslims were silent when Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered in Amsterdam ,
just as moderate Muslims in the United States are generally reluctant to
speak out against violent Islam. Moderate Muslims also face great danger in
speaking out.

say enough of political correctness and work to stem the galloping
islamization of America and Europe .
