HARRISBURG - They came to march against the "March Against Sharia."

The two groups were separated by Third Street and police, but their voices and ideologies were often clear Saturday morning.

On the steps of the State Capitol Building were approximately 60 members of ACT for America, an organization that describes itself as the "NRA of national security."

The Southern Poverty Law Center calls ACT for America a hate group that has grown into one of the largest anti-Muslim coalitions in the country.

On Third Street, and sometimes at other points around the capitol, were about 30 counter protesters dressed in black, calling ACT for America a group of fascists.

Some of the protesters were handcuffed and taken away by police.

Simultaneously, a unity rally of about 200 people kicked off at the Goodwin Memorial Family Life Center.

Ann Van Dyke of Community Responders Network said they started to plan the event immediately after seeing the anti-Sharia rally on social media.

"We are very aware that when hate comes to town, it is so important that there be a positive, unifying voice and activity that is even stronger than the hate event," Van Dyke said.
