The Brussel’s mayor would not allow these 9-11 protesters to gather but did allow a demonstration of leftwing conspiracy nuts who blame Jews and neocons for the 9-11 attacks to gather on September 9.

In another brave European protest today… Young former Muslims are gathering to sign a “Declaration of Tolerance” in the Hague today.
The group is declaring war on radical Islam today.
Ehsan Jami, founder of the Committee for Ex-Muslims, has been been forced into hiding after a series of death threats and a recent attack. The Times Online reports.
Ehsan Jami is currently working on a movie about homosexuality in Islam– Another reason for the hardliners to see him dead.
Jami was moved to a safe house in the Netherlands after being attacked for a third time because of his views on August 4th… The attacks took place after Jami referred to the Muslim prophet Mohammed as a “horrible man” in several interviews and said he wanted to start a debate about domestic violence and human rights in Islam- EUX.TV.
Dutch News is reporting that columnists, academics and other members of Holland’s white, middle-class intelligentsia have signed up as supporters of Ehsan Jami’s committee of ex-Muslims.
