"The silent majority of Minnesota is breaking its silence," Pawlenty said,
adding that the Minnesota National Guard will send pictures of the event to
its members overseas.

He added: "Appeasing a psychopath with weapons of mass destruction is
stupidity."

The only speaker who received a hostile reception was N. Ruby Zigrino, a
Muslim from Minneapolis. She was initially cheered when she said she
supports "ousting a tyrant regime."

But she then read passages from the Qur'an, suggested that a new Marshall
Plan will be needed in Iraq, and said administration officials should study
foreign-policy failures to avoid repeating them.

Her listeners responded with boos and shouts of "Screw Muslims!" "Screw the
Qur'an!" and "Go home!"

A turnout of 25,000 was mentioned more than once from the podium, but it was
closer to 16,000 to 17,000, according to a count by the Star Tribune that
was verified by the Minnesota State Patrol.
