(New York -WABC, February 17, 2006) - The global protests over published cartoons depicting the profit Mohammed come to New York City today. At this hour a peaceful demonstration is getting underway outside the Danish consulate. It was a Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons igniting the outrage.
Organizers here were hoping to have as many as 2,000 people at this protest but it's tough to say of that will really happen because of this morning's rainy weather. Some of the protesters were assembling at noon with signs. The protest was organized by the Islamic Leadership Council, an alliance of more than 100 mosques and the organizers have assured us that the protests will be peaceful, unlike what we have been seeing in other parts of the world this week.
