News: Muslim Day passes with little problems By Aaron

Sep. 20th, 2004 -- For the first time since Sept. 8, 2001, over 15,000 Muslims crowded into Six Flags Great Adventure for Muslim Youth Day on Friday. Although the park was closed to all other guests, it was bombarded by protests against SFGAdv's actions. The phone lines of both the park itself and Six Flags corporate headquarters were clogged by callers protesting the decision to only allow Muslims into the park. Many said they would boycott or sue the company. Six Flags has vehemently denied allegations that the company's actions were discriminatory. At SFGAdv, visitors were subjected to heavy security, including metal detectors and bag inspections. Visit CBS 2 for more information.
