No One Messes With the Armed Muslim in Cleveland’s Public Square
 
By Michelle Goldberg
 
“I don’t anticipate any violence whatsoever,” Micah Naziri says.

 

CLEVELAND—On Tuesday afternoon, a bearded man with an AR-15 slung across his back stood in Cleveland’s Public Square, a plaza near the site of the Republican National Convention. That in itself wasn’t that unusual; there are a fair number people with facial hair and weapons milling about downtown. What made him stand out was his white knit skullcap. Micah Naziri, from Yellow Springs, Ohio, was an armed Muslim in a sea of often explicit Islamophobia.

He hadn’t had any confrontations, which, he said, was partly the point. “When there’s bullies, and they say, ‘We’re gonna get the Moslems, creeping sharia, we’re gonna stop it,’ and they’ve got their guns, and then somebody comes who is actually well-trained, actually better armed than them and not the least bit intimidated or afraid, they just don’t seem to feel like they want to talk as much,” he said.

So he's admitting that sharia is a goal of muslims in America... :whistle:
Throwing our allegiances to political parties in the long run gave away our liberty.

As long as he doesn't harm anyone, I have no problem with any American citizen* openly carrying a weapon.

*Assuming he is one.

I agree with the American citizen sentiment.  I'll bet no one had the cajones to ask him for identification, either.
