Rally by hundreds of American Muslims at the Oklahoma Capitol on Friday to promote religious tolerance was interrupted by anti-Islamic protesters holding signs proclaiming the United States a Christian nation.
While an American Muslim girl sang the Star Spangled Banner inside the statehouse in Oklahoma City, about two dozen anti-Islamic protesters outside hurled insults at the group, mostly students, as they visited the Capitol to speak with lawmakers. There were no reports of violence.
If they had a sword, theyd cut your head off, protesters shouted. Some carried signs saying Islam equals Death.
Anti-Islamic protesters also disrupted a similar rally about a month ago in Texas.
VIDEO is quite revealing & amazing at the same time:

sunrise to sundown during the month of Ramadan (obligatory for all Muslims over the age of 10, except pregnant women, the ill and the feeble): to learn how the poor feel and what it feels like to go hungry. Whatever else one may say about Islam, that is sublime, imho.
