ACT for America's "March Against Sharia" Official Facebook Page Full of Racist Anti-Muslim Sentiment
ACT for America, the largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in the country, announced plans to hold nationwide rallies dubbed the March Against Sharia on June 10.
To date, events are scheduled in 23 cities covering 18 states. The march is primarily being organized by ACT for America staffer Scott Ryan Presler, a man who runs the closed Facebook group being used to plan the events. The group also indicates that ACT is recruiting the services of anti-government groups to act as security for the rallies.
The Facebook page, created just over a month ago on April 23, currently has over 1,500 members. The racist and violent content directed toward Islam and Muslims is plentiful:

A May 9 post by Greg Meyer shows former President Barak Obama with a noose around his neck with the words I look forward to this every day!!! Theresa Lawver responded to Meyers post writing, Me too and it WILL happen. President Trump is a genius!!
In a comment following a post about Womens March leader Linda Sarsour, Virgina Salamino Martinez wrote, This bitch should be deported. Shes a terrorist. Charles Chew returned on May 17 to write, Kill all muslim terrorist [sic] in America.
