To quote from their press release:

The purpose of the protest is "to demand the immediate cessation of human rights violations and
government oppression in the Kingdom of Bahrain."

"The people of Bahrain have been subject to atrocities, crimes and countless human rights
abuses for exercising their legitimate right to peacefully protest. Muslims are calling for
an end to the intimidation, torture and killing of peaceful protestors, human rights
activists, and healthcare and medical personnel in Bahrain, at the hands of the Bahraini
military and the security forces provided by other states of Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC).

"As Americans and Muslims, we expect our government to make clear to its allies that
democracy and the civil rights of their citizens must be upheld. We believe that the true
and long-term interests of the United States are served by siding with the people rather
than with the Bahraini government; and the policy of supporting or compromising with
dictators and totalitarian governments weakens American credibility and damages our
interests.

"In the current climate of protests across the Middle East and North Africa, we see no
reason to discriminate between peaceful demonstrators: Protestors in Bahrain must be
extended the same human rights and freedoms as protestors in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, or
Yemen. The United States must condemn the use of violence against unarmed
demonstrators and make clear that such actions will have direct and serious repercussions
on United States policy in terms of diplomacy, military cooperation and trade.

"Muslims from across the US-Midwest will stand in solidarity with the embattled
population in Bahrain and extend the invitation for all people of conscience to protest
government oppression and the tolerance of it."
