Along with two other friends, Alfia and Lipton decided to crash a February 16th anti-war protest. Alfia carried a sign featuring a woman in a burqa tied to a pole with a leash around her neck; the sign read, "Protect Islamic Property Rights Against Western Imperialism. Say No To War!" Lipton's said, "Saddam Only Kills His Own People. It's None Of Our Business!"
On February 17th, they were invited onto conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh's show to describe how they'd been met with shouts and spit, which Alfia described as "so much hate." Limbaugh posted pictures they had taken at the protest on his Web site.

He has additionally stated he intends to begin picketing abortion clinics and gay rights events in the future to show support for social conservatism.
