Counter protesters marched against a protest against Islamic law at the North Carolina state capitol in Raleigh on Saturday, June 10. The counter protesters were across the street from the March Against Sharia Law group with police standing between.It was one of more than a dozen anti-Sharia law protests across the country organized by ACT for America, including in New York, Chicago and Seattle. The group claims Sharia law, which is not in effect in the United States, is a threat to Americans. The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies it as an anti-Muslim extremist group. In most cities, counter protests, often larger than the main protest, were held.
