A speaker said there are about 1 million Muslims in New York City, and, due
to fear, about 50 courageous attended the demonstration, 10 or so of them
speakers. Passersby like Cryptome gawked, listened, learned, sweated.
The alleged Times Square Muslim car bomber was being sweated across the street
at 26 Federal Plaza, location of FBI New York
(http://cryptome.org/eyeball/ts-bomber/ts-bomber.htm).
Cryptome made a Flip video of the two-hour protest, way too bloated for YouTube.
Photos below are stills from the video. A protestor pointed to the roof of
26 Federal Plaza, said, "they're up there." Another said, "down here too,"
eyeballing the Flip. A host came over to say, "is that a new Flip, high-def,
how do you like it, what's it cost, gotta have one."
