The Shocking Display Seen at NYC’s Muslim Day Parade
New York City’s Madison Avenue was the site of the 29th annual Muslim Day Parade on Sunday. Last year’s Muslim Day Parade sparked some controversy
as the black flags of jihad were spotted along the parade
route. According to reports from a couple of sources, no black flags or
flags from the Islamic State were on display.
However, that does not mean the parade was without controversy.
A marching band from the NYPD and a contingent of New Jersey Girl
Scouts in Muslim attire kicked off the event. The streets were filled
with flag-waving marchers, pro-Islam floats and a demonstration of a
hanging.
That’s right, a hanging:
The mannequin seen dangling from a noose on this float was wrapped in
the flag of Egypt. It’s unclear exactly what it was meant to represent:
The “float” was really a crude display in the bed of a pickup truck
adorned with the yellow and black R4BIA “Free Egypt” symbol that has
been associated with the Muslim Brotherhood
since August 2013, an Egyptian flag and several graphic images that
appeared to be from riots associated with Egypt’s revolution from 2011:

One of the more bizarre floats was the “Pharaoh’s Chariot.” The
two-wheeled cart, carrying a man dressed in military garb seen cracking
his whip as supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood pulled him down Madison
Avenue.
The men in black shirts were seen carrying tubes and sticks as they
marched alongside the chariot. However, before the parade started, the
same men were photographed carrying realistic-looking toy weapons. The
NYPD reportedly told the men that the fake guns would not be permitted
in the parade.
Also escorting the chariot, three men wearing masks depicting Secretary of State John Kerry, President Barack Obama, and Senator John McCain:
