Crowds of people showed up to demonstrate outside a Muslim event in Garland, Texas. Critics of the event accused organizers of trying to stifle freedom of speech, while supporters insisted that Islam is being misperceived in America.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside the Curtis Culwell Center, which is operated by Garland Independent School District, reports NBC DFW. The crowds started assembling hours before the conference began. The event was titled, “Stand With the Prophet Against Terror and Hate,” and was aimed at disproving negative perceptions of Islam and Muslims in the United States, according to organizers.
Probably, the crowd waving American flags and holding placards, some of them referring to resent terrorist attacks in Paris, France, are among those this message is aimed at.
“We are here to stand up for the American way of life from a faction of people who are trying to destroy it,” said one of the protesters, Greg McKinley from Fort Worth. “If they want to live their life like in the Middle East, they can go back to the Middle East.”
