2 Million Bikers to D.C.: 9/11 Anniversary Rally Still on Despite Permit Issue

Two million bikers are planning a motorcycle rally in Washington, D.C. to coincide with the scheduled Million Muslin March on the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The National Park Services denied a permit to the riders who are planning on riding due to "disruption and resource management concerns" according to The Inquisitr.

It is not a crime to parade through a capital city without a permit however, which is how the rally is still taking place.

The riders applied for a permit to ride through Memorial Core which is located near the Memorial Bridge. The application for the permit said that approximately 2,000 riders would be traveling through between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Park services denied the permit, claiming the group would cause "too much disruption" according to Carol Johnson, a spokeswoman for NPS.

Johnson added that a number of major roads would have to be closed, which would inconvenience motorist too much.

"It's just a case of what they asked for in the permit applications," Johnson said.

The Muslim Million March is being organized by the American Muslim Political Action Committee, who is well-known for their extreme views regarding the 9/11 terror attacks.

Bikers from almost every state are planning to make the ride this week according to The Inquisitr.
