— Washington Times: “About 3,000 Muslims gathered Friday for a first-ever prayer service in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol in what turned out to be a peaceful assembly despite the taunts of Christian evangelists on the surrounding sidewalks.”
— FOX News: “At remote locations, distanced far away from the proceedings and under the watchful eyes of uniformed and plainclothes Capitol Police, scattered groups of Christians used microphones and public address systems to voice their displeasure with the Muslim event.”
—- “One such group, whose members displayed two oversized tablets similar to those seen in Biblical depictions of the Ten Commandments, called itself ‘Operation Save America’ and distributed pamphlets saying: ‘Abortion is Murder!! Homosexuality is Sin!! Islam is a Lie!!'”
— FOX News: “There was also no denying that the day of prayer attracted some individuals and groups fanatical in their hatred of Muslims. At a separate event, held simultaneously in a conference room at the Rayburn House Office Building, a group calling itself Stop Islamization of America warned about the supposedly hateful, violent, and anti-Western teachings of the Koran.”
— Washington Post: “Across the street from the service, Christian protesters gathered with banners, crosses and anti-Islamic messages. One group, which stood next to a 10-foot-tall wooden cross and two giant wooden tablets depicting the Ten Commandments, was led by the Rev. Flip Benham of Concord, N.C.”
—- “‘I would suggest you convert to Christ!’ Benham shouted over a megaphone. Islam ‘forces its dogma down your throat.’ A few Christian protesters gathered at the rear of the Muslim crowd, holding Bibles and praying.”
