Are the police going to be at the Mosque to insure the safety of the people taking children to worship? The Mosque should request police to be at curbside while the Mosque is being used to attend services.
The USA is a place where there can be no retaliation for expressing one's faith. It is called a hate crime and carries far more remedies. Marching is a way of stating a culture and religion exists without fear. It is important to draw attention away from those that hate and personalize the population aggrieved by hate.
Notify the organizers of parades in the country and march in public. Be a part of the community and don't be invisible. Carry a banner with the Mosques name on it in the colors that represent the faith. Put the religion out there. Evangelicals do. Why not Muslims?
There is a branch of Christianity that wants to claim the USA as a Christian nation. That obsession is hate and oppression at work. Get in their face through civilized methods where other organizations and faiths participate. Do not isolate the Mosques and their members behind curtains. Young people have to know about their Muslim friends and their friends families.
GET OUT THERE !
Muslims go on pilgrimage in the Middle East. Why isn't there pilgrimages in the USA? No holy sites? Then build monuments to honor the holy places where pilgrimages in the USA can take place. I want to see Muslims everywhere that everyone else is. The Christians have places that are special, especially, in churches that are devoted to saints. Cathedrals are blessed by the Pope and they becomes havens for the faithful. The Muslims in the USA need to have special places, too.

When it comes to the debate (click here) over whether or not to show images of the Prophet Mohammed, we certainly don’t claim to have all the answers.

When it comes to the debate (click here) over whether or not to show images of the Prophet Mohammed, we certainly don’t claim to have all the answers.
But there’s a fair debate to be had about
where society draws a line between freedom of speech and speech meant to
incite violence.
Tonight in Phoenix, an openly
anti-Islam activist is organizing a “Draw Mohammed” event outside a
mosque that was once home to two men who opened fire on a security
officer during a similar event in Texas last month.
More
than 1,000 people say they will attend the event tonight, though it’s
impossible to know how many will actually show up. And that’s not
counting any counter protesters and the undeniable presence of local and
national media....
This is what militants want. They want to divide the USA in hate that would bring violence. This is exactly what the militants want. They want hate to grow.
In the Middle East the extremists kill Christians. We don't want that in the USA with peace between the faithful of religions. There will be no violence between different people of nations in the USA. I am proud of a country that works out it's problems rather than hating and building a desire for violence.

In a crime that New Jersey (click here) authorities have described as heinous, a local man is believed to have shot to death two Coptic Christians before severing their heads and hands and burying their bodies in the backyard of a relative's abandoned home.
"These were grisly murders in which the defendant allegedly shot both victims in the chest at close range," said Attorney General Chiesa in a press release. "We allege that the defendant was ruthless and calculating in the manner in which he carried out the killings and attempted to prevent identification of the victims by cutting off their heads and hands before burying their bodies. The New Jersey State Police has conducted a thorough investigation, which will enable us to secure justice for the victims."
The suspect has been identified as 28-year-old Yusuf Ibrahim of Jersey City, N.J., whom they apprehended Feb. 10. He has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of desecration of human remains. His bail was set at $3.3 million cash, and he is curren
