Thousands of bikers descended on Washington, D.C., Wednesday (Sept. 11th) to protest a Muslim march provocatively timed for the 12th anniversary of 9/11.
While the "Million Muslim March" looked likely to be a flop, the "2 Million Bikers" event brought participants from throughout the eastern seaboard. One estimate put the number of bikers there at 880,000.
So many turned out that plans to have them ride through the streets of the Capital had to be changed.
The Muslim march was aimed at drawing attention to America's alleged discrimination against Muslims, but the timing of the event sparked the counter demonstration.
The ride kicked off in Fort Washington at 11 a.m. The group, which stressed the ride would go on as planned, apologized for any gridlock.
I hear they had maybe 200 at the so-called 'muslim rally' - renamed as they dropped the muslim connection. Thank God for these bikers, carrying the banner for those of us who can't be there.
We carry this September 11th American flag patch in memory of that day.
