Hundreds of protesters show up in Garland, Texas, for a secret Muslim conference Saturday, Jan. 18, 2015.

GARLAND, Texas – Hundreds of protesters were out in force Saturday at a Muslim gathering blacked out to the media called “Stand with the Prophet” whose keynote speaker, an imam from Brooklyn, has been linked as an unindicted co-conspirator with the deadly 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

The imam, Siraj Wahhaj, once remarked, “It is my duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran.”

President Obama formally invited Wahhaj to give a “juma,” or invocation, at the Democratic National Convention in 2012, but his invitation was withdrawn after public criticism of the decision became widespread.

Hundreds or more protesters attended the rally and members of the media were denied open access to event attendees, including WND and the Blaze.

Among the protesters was commentator and activist Pamela Geller, author of “The Islamization of America,” who said she was there to expose “supremacist” control of the event, attacking what she believes was a concerted effort to keep not just press from the event but ticketed non-Muslims as well.

“A number of people who were going were refunded their money late last night and told they were sold out,” she said. “The people that were going had English-sounding names. So, did they purge people they didn’t think were Muslims? Isn’t that supremacist?”

Attendees were brought in through a barricade in cars, and only two attendees were escorted out of the Culwell Center (where the rally was being held) to talk with available press. These two persons were accompanied by an event cameraman, who followed them through crowds of protesters. One of them compared the peaceful protesters outside the event to ISIS.

“The event today is to honor our prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and also to speak out today about the fact that Muslims are not violent people,” said spokeswoman Page Spence. “We are peaceful people. We want nothing more than to be part of this culture and community. We are level-headed peaceable people who are not trying to convert every single person to our religion.”

Spence closed her remarks by comparing protestors to ISIS: “The same people who are protesting are misrepresenting the Quran the way ISIS does.”

Police instructed WND and other press representatives that they were not able to interview event attendees except behind the barricade, which actually encircled the parking area, so as to prevent any real interaction with attendees. Press requests to interview attendees with police escorts were denied.

Randy Dunning, a former Garland City Council member, told WND: “People were brought in cars, but they were cordoned off so that the media could not actually get at or talk to the attendees of the conference. In city government, we have to be totally accessible to members of the media, the public is allowed into our meetings, and everything is done in a very transparent fashion.”

When asked about the speaker, Siraj Wihhaj, and his reputation as advocating the subjection of American freedoms and government to Islamic religious codes, Dunning remarked, “Our freedom is not a suicide pact. We can’t create a situation where we have one last opportunity to use our freedom and then use that to invoke some tyranny. … But unfortunately, there are movements in the world, and I believe radical Islam is one of them, that believe in one man, one vote, one time.”

On the idea that Islam doesn’t have a “violence problem” but rather a “messaging problem,” Dunning said he was “mystified by that idea.” Dunning explained that he would want to know “why are the kidnappings and the killings happening in the first place and then we can open up and start having dialogue.”

Protestors included Jeff Higgins, a Vietnam veteran who lost both legs in service to his country. Higgins said he was concerned “Islam was gaining a foothold in Garland.”

“This is my backyard,” he explained. “We live under the American law, not Shariah law and I know that ultimately, that’s their goal, is to bring Shariah law to America. This is the first kind of, in-your-face attempt to do that. I know they’ll say this is about peace, but peace means submission to them.”

Vietnam veteran Tim Lee said he is worried about his children and the future of America.

“America was built upon God and the word of God, not Allah, not Muhammad.” He said. “The Muslim religion is a religion of death. They kill people, innocent people, little children, chop heads off, and we are going to bring this to Garland, Texas?”

Wolf counselor Loc: Heart of Texas

*As long as you know you're right, that is all that matters Vernon....I get told i'm a lie everyday in here....about what I do, what i've accomplished, what my upbringing was, what my capabilities are, the articles I post, even from their own websites...but I just shake my head, smile and press on.....you know why? The person with the truth/facts......will always be the last man standing when it all boils down....That is why Pres. Obama has been such a handful for those who oppose him and try to shape him to fit their agenda.....when you know how to see the end of a situation before it transpires, everyone else is in the discovery mode while you just sit back and silently wait for the time to drop the hammer....what these people do not understand, I entered professions at a very young age that was way above my head and predominantly white (engineering and graduate professorships). Off the bat, once you show your black azz face at the door, you are met by a bunch of older white dudes with varying emotions-ranging from some with admiration of you for thinking you got it like this, to others with inherent skepticism from the premise of, "who does this darky think he is? He doesn't belong here"....and the whole nine...so from design reviews as an engineer or giving lectures at 34 to the 55+ group, you're going to get challenged from those who honestly just want to see if you know your stuff, to those who are out to prove you and nobody who looks like your azz knows shit, especially related to this topic. While going through that process, you get told you don't know what you are talking about or your approach could have been more optimal. The onus is now on you to proven otherwise....and if you do that successfully, like that statue that was on the "Scarface and "New Jack City" movies that has a man holding up the Earth, with the words around it, "The World is Yours".

Sorry to blab on and on about me, but my point it, in that environment, when you prove your point factually, you are given credit and even accolades for your efforts to do so. There are no vague dismissals and certainly no insults.

So what my nutty buddies in here do not understand, is the concept of damn near spending your whole life proving you know what the f-k you are talking about gives you lots of practice.....but the problem with informal environments, one can be dismissed in a non-factual manner, such as ignored, insulted, called a liar, etc. In the real world, you have to leave all those approaches to dismissal at home.

*So as long as you know you truly are not the liar in any situation you encounter in life, starting with this one...you have my blessings to tell the whole world to kiss your azz.....because you have EARNED the right to do so*

I was there. Met some very nice people that Love America and hated Muslims and Islam, the "religion of death". We had a lot of fun yelling at them and making them feel uneasy. The police kept a very strong arm on us and a loose arm on the Muslims but, there was no trouble.

The police would not let the news media into the site to report what was going on, they keep them at a distance.

Outside of that our voices are weak today.

I'm glad to hear that you participated... your work does not go un noticed...
Thank You for your Patriotism.

We need to be doing more of this every chance we get...

Spread the word.

As for the Police.. they too will have to choose Patriots or TRAITORS soon enough !

Taking sides against Constitution Patriots, God, Chrisianity and the American People will meet a dark fate.

Again Thank You and spread the word to everyone !

I think in a lot of cases, it is coming down from obama not to bother the muslims and to keep everyone else out. The local police are not going to side with the muslims and their stupid laws.

You should know by now that these idiots may want shariah law here, but about the time they try imposing that on us to any great degree, there is going to be a lot of shooting going on and either the muslims go back where they came from, or get their butts shot off here.

I know there have been a couple of judges that have turned their courts into shariah law centers, but as a whole, that is not going to happen. I don't know of to many Americans that are going to put up with this crap for much longer. I also think that as soon as we get rid of this imposter in chief we are going to see a lot of this crap go away.

Once the Islamic "complete system of life," was exposed to a majority of America, the Shariah Law aspect of the "system" was seen as in direct opposition to OUR Constitution; for good reason!!! Whipping, stoning, mutilation, dismemberment, torture and beheading were ruled out by Western, free-market culture, shortly after the 7th century ideology was found to be - insane.
