OKLAHOMA CITY — At least two groups have reserved space to protest the first-ever “Muslim Day” at the Oklahoma Capitol.

The state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations will host the Oklahoma City event on Friday. Executive Director Adam Soltani says more than 100 people from across the state are expected to attend.

A similar event at the state Capitol in Texas earlier this year drew a small group of vitriolic protesters who heckled Muslim participants.

The conservative groups Overpasses for America and III Percent Patriots of Oklahoma have reserved space as part of a protest to Muslim Day in Oklahoma while a Libertarian group plans to rally in support of Muslim Day.
