Before March against Sharia organizer marched against Muslims, he praised 9/11 hijackers
As previously reported by Hatewatch and the Center for New Community, ACT for America, the largest anti-Muslim group in the country and a designated hate group, is organizing a 20-state, 28-city “March Against Sharia”on Saturday, June 10.
Research indicates that a number of white nationalist and anti-government activists plan on attending these rallies, but the event in Batesville, Arkansas is particularly alarming because it is being organized by longtime neo-Nazi Billy Roper.
Roper promoted the event on Stormfront, the neo-Nazi message board founded by former Klan leader Don Black. Roper wrote, “Yes, we are the organizers for the March Against Sharia rally in Batesville, Arkansas, this coming Saturday, June 10th, at noon, at the RiverSide Park at the main concert stage. I will be giving a speech on the progress of Arkansas' state anti-Sharia law, and discussing Muslim immigration in general.” Roper also claimed that that representatives from his ShieldWall Network will be in attendance at the ACT events in Indiana, New York, California and Texas.
A recent podcast recorded by Roper indicates that he has not gone rogue with organizing this event, instead he has been actively working with ACT to organize it.

This same Billy Roper:
"The enemy of our enemy is, for now at least, our friends. We may not want them marrying our daughters, just as they would not want us marrying theirs. We may not want them in our societies, just as they would not want us in theirs. But anyone who is willing to drive a plane into a building to kill jews (sic) is alright (sic) by me. I wish our members had half as much testicular fortitude."
