A brave Muslim interfaith activist who’s devoted her life to promoting religious freedom and denouncing violent extremism is vowing to lead the first Muslim group ever to march in the Israel on Fifth Parade in spite of threats to “wear a bulletproof vest. ” Anila Ali, a Pakistan native turned fearless DC-based civil rights advocate, defiantly told The Post “nothing is deterring me” from marching in the annual event that celebrates the Jewish state – even after a Democratic socialist city councilwoman condemned Ali to hell for showing her support for Jews this week at a rally in front of Gracie Mansion. The 58-year-old powerhouse founder of the American Muslim & Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council said she plans to march with a few dozen Muslim supporters, including an imam and children, despite a barrage of intimidation tactics from “nefarious forces” for daring to show solidarity with Israel.
