America Speaks! Historic 911 Rally Draws Tens of Thousands

269

There was no end. You could not see the horizon. The media pretends these tens of thousands of people don't exist. It's criminal.

We will be heard.

Tens of thousands descended upon Ground Zero today to remember those we lost nine years ago, and to save the American principles of freedom that the sharia tramples.

Crickets are chirping in taqiya media newsrooms nationwide (although they were all there). There has been no coverage.

We organized a rally of remembrance that dwarfed the opposition. If the America haters had 4,000, we had ten times more. The media is playing the dueling rallies; it was no such thing.

Free people came from all over the country and all over the world to stand in solidarity with the 911 families and to declare our iron determination that no victory mosque will be built on their graves. The crowd was young and old, black and white …….. politics of all stripes. The crowd was beautiful. The crowd was proud and good and decent America. All the speakers were excellent. Rousing.

But the highlights included Geert Wilders, who was greeted as the great hero that he is, and spoke about how a sharia mosque at Ground Zero would be the death New York's proud tradition of Dutch tolerance.

Ambassador John Bolton spoke bluntly and unequivocally via video link about the affront to American values that this mosque would constitute. 

Other powerful voices included Joseph Nassralla, who was the unwilling media darling of our June 6th rally, when a misunderstanding was blown out of proportion by the mainstream media as a racist incident. Joseph Nassralla was the Arab who was supposedly in a confrontation at that rally. At this rally we were proud to feature him, and he was so passionate and rousing in his love for America and fierce denunciation of the thousand-year-old Islamic oppression of the Coptic Christians in Egypt that the crowd went wild as Joseph led them in cheers of Gd Bless America!

But his warning was clear. The Ground Zero mosque would be the beginning of the end, and Egypt shows where the presence of Islam leads in a free nation.

Steve Malzberg and Mike Gallagher were greeted by huge cheers. It was an historic day in American history. Here is the first of El Marco's peerless coverage. More pictures and video will be going up continuously. So check back. And El Marco  and Pamela Hall will have the definitive post tomorrow (hopefully).

UPDATE: I will be on  FOX news tonight, Geraldo at Large, tonight at 10 pm Eastern, FOX news.

UPDATE: Here are some of El Marco's pics:

“Did New York deserve this? Did America deserve this? Did the West deserve this? What, my friends, would you say to people who argue that New York, that America, that the West had itself to blame for those horrible sounds?

There are people in this city who argue this. And they are angry because we are gathered here today to commemorate, to make a stand, to draw the line. My friends, I have come from the other side of the Atlantic to share your grief for those who died here nine years ago. I have not forgotten how I felt that day.”

Other speakers included 9/11 family members, first responders, and refugees from Islamic regimes.

There were also video addresses by former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and media-man Andrew Breitbart.

Pamela Geller, author and blogger at Atlas Shrugs, organized the rally together with Robert Spencer begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting, author and blogger at Jihad Watch.

In the crowd there were families of those murdered at 9/11, military veterans, New Yorkers, and people who had travelled from around the country and from abroad to be here today. Three Marine Corps veterans listen intently to war hero Ilario Pantano, candidate for U.S. Congress.

Come back soon for full reports and links to the speeches.

UPDATE: Urban Infidel has great coverage here. Video and pics of the anemic counter protest. Go, see for yourself.

 

 

UPDATE: A comment that shows how the tide has turned, from Bruce Godfrey:

I campaigned for Obama in 2008 in DC and VA, so I am not Pamela Geller's natural audience, to say the least. And I actually supported this mosque – loudly – when I first heard about it. But the more I learned, the more I have read, the more I realized I was simply wrong.

To have planned its opening for 9/11/2011, even as an initial draft, shocks the conscience. While some have characterized Abdul-Rauf as pro-American, if he blames the U.S. in part as an accessory for 9/11 and has not repudiated the comment, it's for shame. It would be nice if Islam were like the Bahai faith that it persecutes – non-proselytizing, pro-equality, pro-peace, pro-science. But it's the opposite of these things. And naming it after an Islamic conquest in Christian Europe – well in poker we call that a tell. Reading selections of ibn Warraq's Why I Am Not a Muslim was also instructive.

I don't know if I agree with all of Geert Wilders' agenda – banning books and taxing burkas seems a bit silly and bizarre. But his basic point – that Islam has a predatory character and seeks conquest or at least jurisdiction over the planet, and is a hazard to Enlightenment values – would get him my vote. Even 8 weeks ago, I'd have dismissed Pamela Geller as a nut. Now I want to buy her book. If this means I don't get invited to any cocktail parties on the Upper West Side for the rest of my life, fine; beer and a shot in East Baltimore work for me.

For the record, Wilders' call to ban the qur'an has to be understood in the context of Dutch law, which does ban books. Wilders said if Mein Kamf is banned, the qur'an should be, too. It was a call for a consistent application of existing Dutch law.

UPDATE: Thanks to Tom

UPDATE: Ilario Pantano was fierce. The old guard is done. It is politicians with political courage who will speak for the people. And they are few. Pantano is one of them. If you don't know him, go here. If you want to contribute to his campaign (and you should), go here. If you live in North Carolina, volunteer. Do it.

In the crowd there were families of those murdered on 9/11, military veterans, New Yorkers, and people who had travelled from around the country and from abroad to be here today. Above, three U.S. Marine Corps veterans listened intently to Ilario Pantano, candidate for U.S. Congress.

 

“… Why On 9/11 it wasn’t New York that was attacked, it was America that was attacked. It was freedom that was attacked. And we can’t forget not only what happened, not only the murderous intent that killed 3,000 Americans. We can’t forget for a moment that that they wanted to kill 50,000 Americans, or maybe 100,000 Americans. … We can’t forget that since those attacks, hundreds of thousands of men and women around the world have been killed by jihadists, in the name of radical Islam. From Egypt to Bali, from Baghdad to Kabul, no one can forget there was a car bomb here in Times Square six months ago. Folks, if  you think this is over, it’s just beginning.

… So what’s my opinion about a mosque at ground zero? NO MOSQUE HERE. …”

Pantano tied in Iran’s actions against Israel with the Gaza Flotilla, and pointed out Imam Rauf’s involvement with the Gaza Flotilla, and questioned where the money from the mosque is coming from.

 

UPDATE: Eyewitness accounts pouring in, this from Betty Jean in comments section:

Police lied about numbers at rally…Press too…well we expect it from them, but the police? They must have been given orders to knock down the numbers. Check the photos and ask BettyJean who was in the staging area before it started!

I was there and they were chasing us away – I was moved 7 times! I was moved so far away I had to go around the block and could not get back never heard all the speakers at all they closed access. The truth is they finally refused access to thousands.

I was there at 1:30 before the rally started, I was with several of the speakers in the staging area and had a few words with Pamela Geller before her detail men put me and many of the speakers out of the tent for security reasons and because the staging area was too small to hold us all.

Once placed just outside the staging area the police arrived demanding we leave that area immediately. First they allowed us to step across the road and stand on the curb but another set of police forced us behind the barricades even though we explained we were with the speakers. By that time what seemed like thousands coming in from the ground zero ceremony arrived and the Police went crazy and closed down the sidewalk entirely. They kept shoving us backwards until I, along with many in my group were forced right out of the block. Not being a speaker I just went the way of the crowd but many of the speakers were scattered about.

I tried to re- enter by walking up each block as far back as the eye can see but the streets were full and the crowd was thick. I kept backing out and going another block further away and trying again. The camera cannot show you around corners where I was forced to go only to be out of range of both the camera’s and earshot.

I went from standing next to Pam Geller to not even being in the picture. Don’t let anyone tell you there were 1500! And shame on Geraldo and others for inviting Pamela Geller as a guest draw an audience then not allowing her to have her voice or voice ours!

UPDATE: More on the street reportage  from Zhanna (hat tip Pamela Hall):

Dear friends, I had experience today, I never expected to get. It takes less than an hour and half to get to the Park place and West Broadway from my door.

It took almost 3 hours today. Today, on 9/11, they canceled Q train!

After I got to Manhattan, I walked from the Subway station Wall Street. I was shocked. There were pro-Masque speakers on every corner and between. I could not find our meeting from the beginning and policemen sent me in wrong directions.

I walked like shuttle back and forward.

I passed by pro-masque meeting. That was the small, but very loud crowd. Nobody shout them down and everybody could approach them from any side. In order to get to our meeting, people had to go around and around.

Everything was very strange today. BUT, I was so delighted to see our people. The very friendly people. People who care about our country, about our future, and who make difference today.

UPDATE: Photo and video report from the September 11, 2010 FDI/SIOA rally in Manhattan

UPDATE: The People's Cube wants to know, Are you an islamophobe?

UPDATE: A really great piece over at Modern Conservative, solid reporting: The Great Media Blackout — props to Jennifer Booth

I’m disturbed, but not surprised at the media blackout for the protest held at the proposed site for the mosque at Ground Zero. I was there, and I stood right behind the platform where the media personnel gathered. Several of them took my picture, while wearing my Infidel shirt. I even said to a few of them, “Give us a good story, please.” They answered me and said they would. They knew my meaning- please don’t skew us, don’t portray us as haters. Be honest. And with the coverage, the amount of people there, the sheer diversity of the crowd: people from England, Australia, Egypt, Iran, Uganda, etc. were in attendance or speaking, I am just dumbfounded that not only did we receive a complete blackout, but in the media reports I have been able to find, they covered a different rally, and called those people us. That’s right, you did not misread. A completely different rally filled with Christian themes and anti-abortion agendas were portrayed as the people who attended the rally which Pamela Geller organized. Just lies.

Therefore, if it’s up to the attendees to document it, to be fair and give ANY kind of accuracy and decent coverage, then so be it. It certainly won’t be the first time it was left up to bloggers to be citizen journalists. Ask those who got Dan Rather fired, or ask Matt Drudge. Below is my account, which I started writing yesterday, September 11, 2010.

UPDATE: Heard this from Judy. Same experience as Zhanna. So this was a pattern ……..

I came to the rally and was directed by POLICE to the pro-mosque rally instead. I was not the only one. I knew who our crowd was. I was with a group from TX, a couple from FL (who had an Allen West for congress tshirt, a couple from PA and Coretta).

I also met a group of Russians. We were told that your rally should start soon and to just stay there. It was already after 3. We turned around and found you.

At your rally there were plenty of pro mosque agitators. They were arguing and screaming. One had to be dragged away. it was difficult to hear the speakers. I always arrive early and like to listen to what is being said. I was dressed in my army medical corps gear as I work on a base once a month. That uniform did not garner any respect from the other side. But plenty from the great Americans at your rally NY1 claims the pro-mosque rally had 1500. Yours had 2000. Maybe they should go back to school and learn math.

UPDATE: Comment section remark on the "dueling rallies" fiction:

The NY Post article claims pro-mosque protesters numbered 3000, Anti-mosque protesters 500, but in the NYPost video covering the event the reporter states that anti-mosque protesters vastly outnumbered mosque supporters. Let's call it "Dueling  NY Post Mosque Reportage".

You go girl (Sorry Ms. Geller), just glad to see so many turn out. Hopefully all are safe as many said prayers for you and others there.
Was there a response to the man who burned the Koran there?

Isn’t it very telling that a number of folks on the Left (and all on the Radical Left) will condemn Pamela and everyone else who “dares” oppose this GZ Mosque. Yet, let’s be brutally honest, almost all of them would never dare condemn what happened in London, England today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxan9ztrdbw

Thank you so much for your part in this grand effort to stop Sharia law from getting a foothold in our great United States of America. All afternoon I searched on Twitter and the internet to find out what was happening at GZ. I should have known you would not make your readers wait long to hear what had happened there today.
Someday people will look back at this time as the time when the islamists were shown to be the radicals that they are. People are slowly but surely learning what taqiyya is and they don’t like it.
God bless you and all of you who participated today. We WILL overcome this hostile takeover of America!

I’ll just bet the MSM got the heads up from the white house, “Do not cover this event”, make it go away. They have their fingers in everything. Which other president was ever allowed to act like a dictator & get away with it? How many of you are enjoying living in the beginnings of a Banana Republic?
The pandering to the mosque on TV today by Bloomberg & Obama was vomit inducing. The referring to the 9/11 attack as a “tragedy” istead of a sucker-punch attack on innocent civilians by muslims was enough to make your eyes bleed.
Lies, lies and more lies. Time to take out the trash.

IN Canada CBC is reporting the anti-Mosque crowd only garnered a couple of hundred whilst the pro-Mosque garnered thousands. Jesus wept the liars in the MSM make my skin crawl.
Story here: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/09/11/centre-protest.html
Snippet of lies here: About 1,000 people backed the centre, as several hundred others rallied nearby chanting “No mosque here.”
For the love of God boycotte Liberal Media, their lies go on day by day by day.

Dear Pamela
I am from England and absolutly love your web site (and Robert Spencers). Anyhow, without your countries support for us against Hitler, Europe would have have become a fascist or a totalitarian comminist society. Your country to me being a beacon of freedom for the WHOLE WORLD. I disagree with Terry Jones Europe is lost.Your country to me is the motor of freedom, you have 70% of the public in your favour against the ground zero mosque (or the multicutlural multi faith peaceful reconciliatory centre of harmony as the leftists would have you to believe). You should not loose this battle now due to the force of your freedom loving people. However, in Europe we would have virtually no chance in the same situation due to our poltically correct masters(I appreciate you have the same problem as well although victory is in your grasp).Your country found a way of defeating world communist fascism and red fascism and your country unfortunatley is the only bastion of hope and you will win due to your freedom loving people and then Europe will follow your example.
Keep up the fight and the truth will prevail.
I would love you and Robert as dinner guests if you ever come to the UK (nb in Europe we are your best mates always, always and always, god bless America and England)
Love you as a bueatiful woman and Robert as an excellent freedom fighter.

Pamela, I went to the Dutch News site to get some news how the rally was going. They reported that Geert Wilders spoke in front of a couple of hundred people. Can the media be so blatantly bias? That is the story coming from this rally. And, like Glen Becks rally, the media will never let your rally be mentioned (40,000) without also mentioning the other rally (fewer people, I’m sure). This is most disturbing. Thank you, Pamela, Robert, and your guests for such a successful demonstration for protecting out freedom.

My husband and I were there and of course, Pamela is larger than life, a light of joy, so much fun, she exudes spirit, as we met her in person today. Let me tell ya, she is a warm, charasmatic, petite, but what a strong and inspiring lady. I was greeted with such an embrace I tell ya, it was like we were old friends, and I could tell she was really genuine! The rally was filled to capacity, 8 thousand or more strong. Hands were raised when being asked about the distance they came out of state, in the sea of people so many hands went up, and I did get chills from the emotions which welled up in me. I thought each speaker was very powerful, the message they sent was meant to keep us awake, to make it our goal to focus on what is happening around us because these liars are inside now. The other rally was a march and I think they marched to make it look like it was a huge turn out, but it was really just a long narrow line of walkers with signs and chanting. I had to cut through them to get to our group and it wasn’t a great feel of love and light and patriotism, they all seemed defensive and miserable actually. I wanted to be at the upbeat rally so bad, I was getting anxious, and when I got there, I felt great! It was a crowd of our own people, standing shoulder to shoulder and with such a real sense of patriotism like you would expect to see, and we did. So, Pamela and Robert, thank you for this rally, the people are everything I expected to see, and this cause is the best reason to be in NYC from anywhere in the world, at whatever cost. So many people came here in support of this cause on a wing and a prayer, giving up the little they have to get here and carrying others along the way. If you think that somehow the spirit is forgotten, it’s not, it just needed to find a leader or two who knows the job is far from over. This rally needs to continue, so people NEVER FORGET!

Just where I was standing I estimated it to be about 8 thousand, but that was from where I was standing. Don’t go by me though, it definitely isn’t my talent to count people. I wouldn’t doubt 40,000 if you consider all the side streets they had to open for the extra flow of ppl, the police barriers were moved quite a few times, and the police should be able to affirm this number, there were scores of police there and they did in my estimation, an outstanding job!

As Pam said Media cover-up was criminal !!
CNN International has just reported about the “TWO” Rallies about the GZM.
They reported the rally in support of the mosque with their cameras and reported 6 seconds of Pam/Robert rally against the mosque WITH A CELLPHONE CAMERA!!!
Not a single word about Pamela, Robert or Geert Wilders.
Disgusting.
CNN, BBC (MSM) are far more dangerous than any muslim.
Half of the reports on CNN International are about Islam and muslims.
Traitors !!!
Criminals !!!
We cannot defeat Islam without defeat the criminals in MSM !!!

Hi Pamela,
I’m from Australia, and the T.V. media here, both the government channel and the private channel I watched, are saying the pro-mosque rally had hundreds of supporters and then they mention that there was a rally nearby against the mosque but they didn’t mention any numbers for that rally at all. Also they showed images from the pro-mosque rally and none from your rally. It is so disgusting, I cannot believe that we live in a democracy, it feels as though we live in the old Soviet Union or in North Korea. I have lost faith in the media, how can I believe what they are telling me on anything now. Thank goodness for you and all the other people fighting to get the truth out there. Thank you so much for what you are doing.

Dear Pamela — In every crisis there arises a patriot/hero to lead us out of near-despair and confusion to victory. In our present crisis I imagined that person would be a Man on Horseback.
What a surprise to find our fearless hero to be a beautiful woman garbed most appropriately as Supergirl.
Seriously, we owe you so much. Thank you, thank you for having all the ideas and doing all the hard work.
We’ll be eternally in your debt.

I have no idea what the first blocks length of crowd was like, but you should know, the back half of the 2nd block was an absolute zoo.
There were by far, more counter protestors (loons walking around with their stupid signs promoting the mosque), 9/11 Truthers, and blogger/student media/local news reports than Mosque protestors. I hate to say it, but that back entrance area, when the Police were letting anyone access through it, was chaos. There must be a dozen documentaries being made on the Mosque controversy that were just going nutso pointing cameras at anyone with an American flag shirt. There was so much baiting, and of course, they got the material they wanted, and then some.
The nearest Starbucks was packed with people logging in reports (mind you, this was less than an hour into the rally), with one long table stacked with laptops, Canon 7D’s with pricey zooms, and Prosumer Video cameras. Some reporters had mic cubes, so they were real credentialed reporters, but they looked rinky dink, like what you would expect to come from a DailyKos pretend reporter. Then someone would bolt in and scream about how there was an Imam ranting and raving, and they would go running. Sure enough, there was a Muslim in religious garb surrounded by a crowd of 25+, and multiple cameras. People were essentially wandering around looking to be covered by the media, or were members of the media looking for material to exploit. It was like a post-modern version of a rally.
Finally, normally counter protests are kept very separate. This was so far away, the NYPD couldn’t determine who was who when they wandered in. It was a bad scene.

As others have said, I too had the TV on all day, and heard and saw nothing of this. Not even Fox showed a thing! All week we’ve seen these whoremongers in the media camped out at some backwater church in Florida….but today, in the heart of New York City, nothing? It is beyond contemptible.

I was there and the crowd stretched for 2 and a half blocks on West Broadway and spilled over onto the side streets. The media will probably say a couple of hundred. I also saw the pro mosque rally up the block earlier, saying it was a tenth of the size of the pro American rally is a gross overstatement. Also got into it with a few of the wacko liberals throughout the crowd looking to stir things up. A whole group of them back on Warren st. puling their typical nonsense. Signs saying Americans are bigots too, etc. Can’t they ever come up with anything new? Also, by the train station on Church ave. on the way home got into it again with these idiots. The muslims must laugh at what useful idiots they have in these people. Had a little trouble hearing from my spot, back by Warren st, especially when all the motorcycles showed up, but still, what an outpouring of patriotism from Americans, from all races that I saw, who actually get it. There was a Coptic Group from Egypt and a group from Iran who had great displays, from the real experiences of living with islam, yet these liberal idiots called them racists. Stupidity does reach amazing levels at times.

I have been waiting impatiently for this. As everyone has said, NO media coverage. Pamela and Robert, you are scaring the crap out of the media. To all at the rally, you are BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS! I love you all! In 1/2 hour I will hold my nose and watch the Geraldo “I’m a macho latino” show. Actually he’s Jewish since his mother was but he’s ashamed of that fact and that’s OK with me since he’s such a wussy-boy. But I will watch Pamela work speak the truth. G-D bless you all. From coast to coast we will keep fighting against the islamization of America!!!

I agree, it no longer feels like a democracy, it feels like a communist country.
I don’t think the American people will ever recover from this presidency. I don’t believe they will ever be able to trust each other as Americans again after all the double standards, smearing, lying & manipulating. The behavior & tactics deployed by this administration and the cow-towing MSM is absolutely despicable.

A loud Bronx Cheer to you, Terry. I see a bunch of people exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech, and expressing a perfectly Constitutional opposition CAIR and Sa’udi-funded mosques’ desire to deny First Amendment rights to the rest of us.
And if you’re accusing me of “hate speech”, I loudly and thankfully plead GUILTY ASCHARGED!
Only, what I hate isn’t people of another race or religion: it’s the cowardice and fake concern exhibited by the cowardly poltroons who are now leading the US of A!

Dear Pamela, or, equally appropriate:-) –> Supergirl! 🙂
Thanks so much for organising the demo today in New York! Very wrong move that the leader from EDL was denied access to your country..!! It’s only oil on the fire, and let it burn 😉
It was wonderful to see our dearest politician Geert Wilders at the stage, it brought tears in my eyes when I saw him in that beautiful speech. At his Dutch Hyves.nl page came so many support-messages from the Dutch, it was really touching! All pathetic Dutch politicians that were so afraid he would disturb the Dutch foreign affairs by speeching today, should be ashamed of themselves!
Here in Holland we could follow via internet the demo from the policeman/fireman until Geert, after that, it was cut..I have seen a couple of other speakers today, brave New Yorkers, brave Americans! And I have the greatest respect for them. They are courageous, honest and powerful and I wish them all the best!
Thanks for running SIOA, together we grow strong, with the EDL, FDL, the developments in Germany with Stadtkewitz, developments with Geert Wilders, wonderful! I’m really glad that also DDL has come into existence. We already made it a place of sharing our concerns about islamisation of Holland and of the world. It’s really important to have such a forum and I hope more and more people will find their way to share information, because that is so very important these days: to gather the political incorrect news!
I would even dare say that without the possibilities from the world wide web, we would never have been able to form a world wide community like this that is growing by the day, a community of people who are becoming more and more aware of the troubles that islamisation poses to the Free Western World.
I owe special thanks to my parents, and my dearest father in particular, for helping me to grow strong and have the courage to see what’s happing in the world. He showed me websites like SIOA and Gates of Vienna and introduced me in a world that actually turned my world-as-I-knew-it upside down.
I wish you all the best, all the power, help, love and energy that you need to keep on your wonderful work!!

PS now, on our way to 30th of October! 🙂

THE RALLY WAS AWESOME!!! XD I LOVED IT, thank you Pamela and all of the other speakers. I cried when the Christian from Egypt spoke, especially when he showed us the picture of his friend.

dear paulo! your posted exactly what i wanted to say. i have more ‘respect’ for the muslime rioters than i do for the so called msm.
i do not have any expectations from the muslimes, you know, those that believe in their friggin’ kkkoran, so i find it very normal when they riot, maime, stone, etc… i mean what else do you want them to do? this is what they believe in….
but the goddamn ‘journalists’ (god how many tv s do i have to keep replacing?)….
aaaarrrrrgggghhhh!!viewed
the stupid puppy look they have when they have some scumbag muslime interviewed,
the blatant lying and aggressive tone they take towards a freedom thinker….

Geraldo just said only 1500 people showed up to protest the Mosque and 2000 supported it. Well we know what Pamela was up against.
