Demonstrators opposed to Sharia Law protested across the country this weekend at rallies organized by the group ACT for America. Its event in Foley Square in lower Manhattan on Saturday afternoon attracted a counter-protest across the street hosted by NYC Anarchist Action and the Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council. The counter-protesters appeared to outnumber the Sharia Law foes, and there were reports of four arrests during the skirmish.
