Imam Akmal M. Muhammad of the Islamic Freedom Foundation, speaking at the "People's Rally" organized by Harry Jackson and Stand for Marriage DC, declared that "those who considers themselves as friends of God must stand up and be counted by doing the right thing by not allowing marriages that do not meet the standards set by God."
"The behavior of some," he continued "are offensive to the moral fiber of the community of the United States. Same sex marriages, if allowed, will lead to the extermination of the human race because there is no procreation":
