    yeah, I really hate the political aspect of 9/11. I usually just tune this day out because the politics surrounding it are so incredibly fucked up - I think these two separate protests illustrate that pretty well. I work with a guy that watched the towers come down from his bedroom window - talking to him today reminded me that for some, 9/11 is a really sad day of remembrance and has nothing to do with politics. I think everyone should just respect that and organize their marches on another day. in a perfect world.

    This thread has nothing to do with Obama.

    Not all of them - but that's who has organised it, and I would imagine a large proportion of them are.

    I don't think the Muslims are being immature. They're trying to fight a fear fueled stereotype. I can respect that, and if I was a Muslim, I would probably do the same. As previously stated, I don't think it's appropriate to march on this day.
    Oh wow, saw it from his window? That's pretty intense. Yeah, 9/11 has become a fight for the spotlight rather than focusing it on the people who truly deserve it.

    Perhaps not everyone feels the need to be for one side.

    OPENING RALLY!! BIKERS ARE THE BEST!!

    This is a patriotic event. This is a God event. I believe America has been in a 12 year funeral. But I'm a Christian man and not a Muslim. I believe in the resurrection! God bless America!

    (from Facebook group)

    Thomasina Grillo How come all of America doesn't see and understand this? That's the down fall right there. We have to preserve our rights in our country. We come first! It's our country. Want to protest as a Muslim? GO THE FUCK HOME TO YOUR SHIRTY ASS NO RIGHTS HAVING COUNTRY AND GET YOUR PROTEST ON! NOT UP IN HERE AND NOT TODAY!!

    Apparently not.

    I am cherry-picking a little bit, but the overall tone is > < painful, to me, anyway. Lots of flag waving, 'Go America', 'God bless America' etc etc.

    How is that ax of yours coming along? You've been grinding it for so long I imagine it has to have a very sharp edge on it. Anyway, you may want to come down off that high horse of yours.

    BTW, we say blacks now. Negroes is so 1960.

    In a certain sense I find it sad that you feel that way, though I am not surprised. So many Europeans I have met are relatively beat down when it comes to pride.

    So now it's the muslims and christians in a showdown? Here? Now? The more things change, the more they remain the same. Religion comes through again.

    I might not have expalined myself very well...

    *tries again*

    This better represents a lot of the 'patriotism' I've seen on their FB pages...

    I'm not talking about patriotism in general...
    I know you guys are more outwardly patriotic than we are (I can only speak for the UK) ...
    I don't find any need to have a large flag outside my house or run around the streets shouting how great my country is.
    You know, generaly draped in too many flags and making yourself horse with: 'Go team America' etc.
    The OTT version of patriotism.
    That's all ok, to a certain degree...

    The right wing version of patriotism - scares me.

    I am only talking about a certain type...and the type I've seen on their pages is painful.

    I'm proud of my country.
