Can anyone direct me to a link which states Anjem Choudary is actually going to hold a rally in front of the White House March 3rd? All the articles I find are just quoting the Great Britain's Daily Mail article. I would like an American link that investigated and confirmed Anjem Choudary's supposed visit to the United States. There are no confirmations out there.

Don't see anything today either. www.islamicthinkers.com/index/index.php

does anyone else realize that the DailyMail isn't exactly a top of the line 'news' source, but much closer to a tabloid type source?
one of the main stories they have up today is how Victoria Beckham refused to fly on the same plane as Katie Price..... not exactly breaking hardcore 'news'....

Interesting i can't find any legitimate source that suggests this is happening, or that he is/will be allowed to be in the country... if it wasn't for that FOX news segment giving him a place to air his rhetoric... he wouldn't even be acnowledged... and no one would even know about this supposed rally on march 3rd... i haven't found ONE source that uses anything but that fox soundbite to support the idea...
I don't see how you can complain about him speaking... and then celebrate Fox for giving him what appears to be the only outlet for his voice?

LOL krickitt-your link as I said got its information from England's Daily Mail.
Please try again.
And billsonboard was spot on yesterday (and today) that the organizer of the 'rally', Islamic Thinkers Society, has no mention of any rally on their website. And March 3 is a week from today.

Yes... sorry... the fox site does cite the Daily Mail... so when i said everything was going back to that one citation, it should have been Daily Mail, not Fox... but the Fox also used Daily Mail (interesting they quoted a tabloid?...)

All references to this alleged visit on the Internet point to the Daily Mail tabloid. No other (known) sources.

I tend to agree with most things that show logic and common sense has been applied, krickitt. I'm an independent thinker, neither conservative, nor liberal; therefore, I'm not swayed by herd thinking.

You think this is FUNNY??? That a terrorist wants to spread his venom in front of the White House?? Or that some people think he has every RIGHT to do so?? You have a very strange sense of humor.

Steff said she thought Fox News' choice of sources was funny, krickitt, not that she thought the situation was funny. That's very obvious, unless you're looking for something to start a fight with.

I think its funny that Fox depends upon tabloid 'news'papers to get its information...
You do seem to have a comprehension problem...
Although, come to think of it... 'funny' probably isn't the best word there either... pathetic... that might work better...

ME start a fight, mmhmm?? Funny, since she only speaks on this board to incite me. And her buddy Tenn is right next to her. You, too, from what I have seen. Look and see how active steff is here... only where and when I post. Pretty telling, but I am not going down to these people again. It was nice being friends with you, mmhmm, while it lasted.

reading comprehension can be your friend if you let it. I stated that Fox using the Daily Mail as a "NEWS" source was funny. I made no comment whatsoever regarding the person or the story. And I made no comment because I do realize that when the story can't be verified anywhere except a foreign TABLOID site, that there's no comment necessary. But I did like their story on why Jennifer Anniston cut her hair so she wouldn't look like the ladies from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now THAT'S breaking news! LOL

If you wish to attack and speak about me, then speak TO me. And I have posted MANY places on this site that you don't post at.... YOU are trying to create drama and trying to blame my comment that didn't even mention you. Stop playing the drama victim game already.... it's WAY old.

Umm, krickitt, believe me, I have better things to do than try to incite you. As the sun rises in the morning, you will be incited daily. This requires no action on my part. If you want to turn it personal, go right ahead, but don't point that finger in my direction. That's your choice, not mine. Because someone doesn't agree with you does not indicate that someone has ill feelings toward you.

and for the record, on no message board have I ever been a rapid fire high post # kind of poster. My numbers have always been low and I have no problem with it.
and krickett, it's a public message board, and it's impossible for me to post ONLY on threads that you may not currently be on. But I still have every right to post on them and will continue to do so if I have something I feel like saying. Get used to it.

I say let him in, welcome him with open arms. Then once out in the open at the wonderful little rally, execute him.

I, too, have torn up the internet looking for an additional, legitimate reference to this rally, Steff, and can find nothing else. This seems to be an arcane matter known only to the Daily Mail, and now ... Fox.

apparently not if he's a Muslim. Seems all those freedom rights vanish if you are a Muslim in the US.

So long as you are not a white/Caucasian American and/or Christian saying something against some other race from what I have heard.... Don't know where you heard that, but anyone for whom I'd have a modicum of respect would tell you it doesn't matter what color you are, or what spiritual beliefs you might hold ... if you bellow hate you're a jerk. It's not all that complicated.
