2 million bikers are planning a motorcycle rally in Washington D.C. to coincide with the Million Muslim March, and it’s all happening on the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The National Park Services have denied the permit to the riders, who are planning a ride-only event, due to disruption and resource management concerns.

The American Muslim Political Action Committee has come under fire for scheduling the march on the anniversary of 9/11, as well as for the original name of the event. The group changed the name to the Million American March Against Fear in an effort to address concerns, but organizers feel that Wednesday is still the right date.
“The main reason for changing the focus of the event was that many non-Muslims expressed interest in participating,” Barrett said. “Some of us also recognized that calling it a ‘Muslim’ event could prove divisive and that it would be better to be inclusive, and try to bring all Americans together to defend the Constitution and oppose the politics of fear.”
