Over 30 organizations to protest September 25 Ahmadinejad dinner-dialogue with U.S. "religious leaders"
New York City, September 22: Over 30 national organizations - including prominent Jewish and Christian leaders and political leaders - will mount a major protest across the street from the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Thursday, September 25 at 6 p.m., to counter a meeting by Iranian president Ahmadinejad with U.N. officials and "religious" leaders.
Over the weekend, national religious, human rights and public interest groups, opposed to Iran's stated plans for the destruction of Israel and America, proliferating nuclear weapons program, and brutal human rights violations, stepped up their efforts and began a 72 hour marathon of emails and phone calls to urge members to attend the rally.
"We are calling upon the participation of all human rights activists and religious organizations and leaders of all backgrounds, faiths, and political affiliation who find the threats to innocent peoples to be nothing less than an affront to morality and western civilization," said rally organizer Beth Gilinsky of Women United, an international human rights organization.
Many of these organizations are frustrated with the "disinviting" of Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska and all of the other elected officials for a rally that is taking place at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza today. They are participating in the Thursday 925 Rally to oppose Ahmadinejad, and because a wide spectrum of religious and highest level elected leaders of both parties have been invited to speak out in unity.
WHEN: Thursday September 25, 6pm on
WHERE: Across the street from the Grand Hyatt Hotel East 42nd St, near Lexington Ave and Grand Central Station, New York City, NY.
WHO: Over 30 organizations participating, list to be released shortly.
BACKGROUND: Several Western "religious leaders" are about to betray their brethren across all religions, parties, and countries by "honoring" the tyrannical regime of Ahmadinejad and the Iranian mullahs with dinner and "dialogue." Their names are The American Friends Service Committee, Mennonite Central Committee, Quaker UN Office, Religions for Peace, and the World Council of Churches-UN Liaison Office. Other organizations, political leaders and media have also been invited to appease the Islamic leaders who have turned Iran into a terrorist state
