I ignored this when it first popped up on the "news", because it was in the racist state Oregon. But it appears this movement is big. The Southern Poverty Law Center calls it a hate movement. Although the SPLC ended up on the FBI's list of extremist hate groups until the PC police made they remove it. lol


ACT for America, which the Southern Poverty Law Center (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/act-america) designates as an anti-Muslim hate group, is spearheading several rallies across the country Saturday in what is slated to be the group’s largest protest against Islam.

The "March Against Sharia" will take place in more than 20 cities, including New York, Dallas, and Atlanta.


In New York City, about 100 protesters and more than 200 counter-protesters verbally clashed in downtown Manhattan Saturday morning, as police officers stood between the groups.


The rally began with ACT for America supporters denouncing Sharia law and claiming that America was moving in the wrong direction.

I am against this sort of thing, but this is what I have been saying about Europe for 6 years: if governments won't handle the migrant problem the people will and it will be bloody and ugly.

Midwestern Muslims Fearful After Anti-Sharia Rallies
June 16, 2017 | WASHINGTON — Muslims in the Midwest state of Minnesota say they are worried about their security after recent anti-Sharia rallies held by right-wing extremists.


Muslim leaders and members of Somali communities in Minnesota say they need help and protection as anti-Muslim sentiment and hate crimes targeting Muslim-Americans surge. Community members are critical of Act for America, a right-wing group that has staged anti-Sharia marches in more than 20 cities. The group says Sharia law poses a threat to the United States and claims to be acting to protect free speech and traditional American values.

National Director Mahdi Bray, (from left) Muslim Alliance of North America Imam Johari Abdul-Malik, Muslim Public Affairs Council Media and Communications Director Rabiah Ahmed, and Executive Director and Founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Nihad Awad, attend a press conference held by the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations at the National Press Club in Washington, Dec. 21, 2015, to announce major initiatives to address growing islamophobia in America.



Afraid for their lives


Meyran Omar, a Somali-American woman in Minnesota said the anti-Muslim sentiments make her fear for her life. “When I am on my way home, while I am driving or walking or even going into my apartment, I look around and I never had that fear before,” she said. Omar says the spreading anti-Islam attitudes have led some Muslim women to change their dress, as wearing hajib makes them visible representations of the religion. “Islamophobia and hate are increasing more; some of us stopped wearing the headscarves. It does not mean that they are bad Muslims, but they are scared for their lives. We need help,” she said.


Anti-Muslim sentiment


Imam Abdisalam Adam of Darul-Hjirah mosque in Minneapolis, says the claim by Act for America that Islam is dangerous to the United States has no evidence to back it up. “We notice an increase in anti-Muslim sentiment and people who claim to be anti-Sharia law, but the reality is when you look at the issue and the way they are presenting, there is no evidence what they are calling for,” he said. Adam, who is also a board member of ICSA (Islamic Civic Society in America), says Muslims living in the U.S. believe in the U.S. Constitution. “Muslim communities are law-abiding and follow the Constitution of United State, so it seems it’s a politically motivated,” he said. Adam called on the U.S. government to send a very clear message that this country’s laws have to be respected and that Muslims are as much a part of the country as members of any other religious group.

Meet, talk to Muslims


The imam says they are ready to welcome members of Act for America to come and see how Muslims are living and raising their families as regular Americans. “What we are telling these hate-mongers, the people who are spreading this bigotry, is to get to know us, and we welcome them to our mosques and our institutions.” On its website, Act for America says it “has never, and will never, tolerate any bias, discrimination, or violence against anyone, based on their religion, gender, race, or political persuasion. Freedom to practice one’s religion in peace is afforded to each of us by the U.S. Constitution and we will continue to defend it vigorously.”

It should be perfectly obvious that when in America you follow American laws. Period. Don't like it, go where you have Sharia law and beome a victim of it's war with Muslims 2.0 .
However, sanctuary cities and illegals speaking at DNC events indicate a willingness to hold immigrants above the law. While there are some forms of nullification I support this is not one of them because immigration is a valid federal area.
So will the ultra libs and sanctuary cities go so far as to ignore Muslim neighborhoods and allow them to practice Sharia law even when it conflicts with our laws. I don't know but I'm certainly not confident they won't and that's a problem.
