Security Tight at Islamic Group Conference

July 19, 2009 - 7:31 PM | by: Marla Cichowski

A protest outside a controversial Islamic group's conference became heated this evening as people who attended today's Hizb ut-Tahrir conference left the hotel in Oak Lawn, IL. About two dozen protestors, stood along the sidewalk facing the Hilton Hotel yelling, "Go Home, " "This is America, " "You don't like it in America, go home!" At one point, all of the protestors chanted in unison"USA, USA." At one point police officers at the hotel provided security had to escort several Muslim women who were leaving the conference to their cars in the parking lot.

Only 2 dozen protesters showed up? WTF? There should have been 2M Americans there.If it was taking place in my area I could have rounded up more people than that just on my street. To you Americans that live in that area, "Get out there and show some American Pride". Idle hands are the radical Islamics workshop!

Everyone should boycott the entire chain of Hilton affiliates. It is appalling that they would allow this on American soil. No amount of money is worth selling out America. The Hilton conglomerate should be ashamed for enabling these Islamics to further their cause in our Great Country.

Everyone should read "Londonistan" by Melanie Phillips. I read the book a year ago. It describes how radical Islam has been allowed to infiltrate society in Great Britain to the point where things like Sharia Law takes precedence over National laws.

It is time for the American people to stop accommodating people or group's within the U.S., when it is obvious, they don't support our country. We love Capitalism, We love our Freedom and our rights, go home!!!!

I, being a tax paying citizen of the United States of America, find it appalling that the Hilton Hotel would appease any group of Al-Qaeda and allow them to hold a conference within the walls of their business establishment. I encourage all Americans to send a letter to the following addresses and letting your voice be heard: Hilton Hotels Corporate Headquarters, 9336 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA., 90210 and Hilton Oak Lawn Hotel, 9333 South Cicero Avenue, Oak Lawn, Illinois, 60453. Businesses like the Hilton don't need to be established within our economy. It is time for the American people to take a stand for what we believe in, 'Our Country'. It is a disgrace to everyone in the U.S. to allow this group (Al-Qaeda)to hold a conference of any kind on American soil. Let our voices be heard. America Unite!!!!

Folks, we need to wake up. I believe we should boycott all companies associated with Hilton ties. This is just another insidious attack on the U.S.. Nikita Kruschiev stated in 1961 that the U.S would be taken from within. If we continue to allow these types of internal attacks in the name of greed Nikita will be right.

Look at all the islamic centers popping up across this country. It's only a matter of time that our tolerance and " seperation of church and state" mentality will bring the USA to a boiling point. We must not tolerate a religion that will surplant our "constitution" with sharia law. They are using democracy to overthrough it. America is in a Crusade because of Islam. We must not let them use the "trojen horse" tactic to defeat US.

I was there yesterday , very upsetting 1st of all with the number of protesters maybe a dozen or so with a population so large the Chicago area and only 12 people, how sad. Then I decided to go into the conference it was open to the public at no charge, when I entered I was given a packet with info on the conference and a CD. Waiting for it to start I was browsing thru the pamphlet and was getting more upset as I kept reading. I have always thought you must know your enemy, I was able to sit thru 3 speakers and in the middle of the 3rd a Latino who became a Muslim, blaming the USA for every evil on the face of the earth I could not take it anymore and left. As I was leaving all I could think about were the old movies of Hitler standing in front of throngs of people cheering wildly. Every time one of the speakers was saying how bad it is here the crowd would say Allah Akbar agreeing with what was said. I have to say I find a number of things very saddening #1 is the # of people protesting, what is wrong people? They are telling us what they want for us. That is the end of life as we know it! The second is the # of children that were there, and the idea that this is what they are being taught about life. I think I will need a little while to take this all in and reflect on how I and others can stop this, just as the world sat quietly in the 1930's when Hitler was just talking, and the world just thought he was a little crazy man that will do nothing . I know I cannot sit by with a organization like this spilling its hate and I hope none of you will also.

In America, the government should work for the people (Americans), but no more. Instead, the masses are waiting for the government to take action, and it's not happening. So, people will eventually have to act and reject the "tolerance" message. Obama policies and apology tours weaken our condition and invite this type of invasion. There comes a point when we have to realize that what we're "tolerating" is the overthrow of our government and our Christian way of life, the enslvement of women and children under shiria law, and the massacre of all who dare to speak out against a demonic religion. Do not tolerate evil men who plot war and are guilty of everything they accuse the west of, especially in your own country. Allowing this in American is another form of bankruptcy. It is a bancrupty of courage and that's exactly what these criminals are counting on. Boycott, protest, write Congress and demand to be heard now, or we'll be fighting in the streets later.

People need to study the history of how the violent muslim culture took over Lebanon. They are doing the same thing here. They will multiply and then take over turning us into an islamic nation.

First of all, no one could really be surprised it was held in Chicago; I know a lot of you like to beleive Obama in from there, he is not! He was born in Africa and moved to Hawaii at a young age. His Father is at the center of the Jihad movement in Africa and is in control of the Fall of the Western Civilization plan. With Osama in office, we are all screwed. All that voted for him ate his "Change" speach up. Well guess what, change is coming and when Osama's done, change is all you'll have left in your pockets.

One wonders what would happen if a conference was held about the "FALL OF ISLAM" in the USA. We would be treated hate mongers. MR

Folks remember Hilton Hotels allowed this to occur on their property. Making money is more important than national security. Vote with your pocket books and boycott all Hilton Hotels

Why does this surprise anyone that we have this type of group meeting in Obama's home city. They both want the fall of capitalism. They forget that for years the financial and food and health aid that they reieved was from this capitalist country.

We are surprised that the Muslims were afforded protection? It's a disgrace that this conference was allowed to take place on American soil in the first place!
