Lodi mayor cools to idea of a 'million Muslim march'

Andrew Adams:

A division in Lodi's Muslim community appears to have put the brakes on the idea of a local "million Muslim march."

Lodi Mayor John Beckman announced Tuesday he was working on the idea of a peace march with conservative radio host Mark Williams, who has a program on Sacramento radio station KFBK.

After meeting with a few of the leaders of Lodi's Muslim community Wednesday, however, Beckman said a march does not appear to be a feasible idea.

"I can't find one person from the mosque that I can talk to," he said. "There are two distinct groups trying to do distinctly different things. I'm not sure (the march) is a good idea anymore."

Call for Million Muslim March is being met with hesitation
