Not wanting to court danger, the Boca West Country Club has refused to host the Palm Beach Republican Party's "Lobsterfest" dinner that advertised controversial Islamic critic Geert Wilders as the keynote speaker. Geert was part of the Garland, Texas, cartoon contest that invited participants to draw the Prophet Muhammad. Islamic law prohibits any image of the prophet to ward off idol worship.
However, extremists have violently attacked or threatened with death anyone who has published a drawing or depiction of Muhammad over the years. The belief was what prompted extremists to attack the headquarters of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, where 12 staffers were gunned down.
Last week in Texas, in an attempt to fly directly in the face of that law, organizers put together a $10,000 Muhammad cartoon contest. The contest drew the attention of two gunmen who tried to kill participants with assault rifles. Police were able to thwart the attack and shot and killed the suspects. Not long after, ISIS announced that it was responsible for the attack.

Safety reasons, my arse.
There must be enough venues available so this PC crap doesn't occur again.
More American sheeple need to see the real islam.
b.s. the terrorists are winning.
Pandering cowards. They might as well face mecca five times a day, they’ve agreed to dhimmitude even before being physically threatened.
They’re welcome to hold it in my home and backyard.
o, obama, you have made the world such a better place.
Muslim extremists have violently attacked and threatened people!
Quick! Shut down all the Republican Party fund-raisers!!!!
I'm sure they were warned by counsel and their insurance carrier what they should and shouldn't do.
It's effectively the same thing, but I thought it should be pointed out.
If I were a Country Club owner, I could see using the same logic. Country Club folks generally are not eager to return to a place where a brutal attack (or defense) has occurred. Reputation is HUGE in that realm. I wish he/she/they were more courageous, but it is a sound business decision. I bear them no ill-will. May their chains rest lightly upon them.
Someday soon Bobby the Coward will be crawling on his knees to his Muslim masters to pay the Jizya tax and lick their boots.
As long as he gets to live in his precious country club and let others do his fighting for him he’s happy.
Enjoy your chains Bobby. Remember to praise the murderer, er, “prophet”.
+ for gallows humor.
So can they hire themselves some Texans. They might even volunteer. Jihad, get yeehawed.
They wouldn’t win without the surrender of these dhimmis. Perfect example of what Sun Tzu called “breaking your enemy’s resistance without fighting”.
Way to go! Cower before their prophet.
Money line.
I always bear ill will to cowards. I would pull my membership to this club.
It’s possible they could also find a different venue, one that is more easily defended.
But as for you, it’s really easy to taunt. It’s not all that easy to help.
Ever creeping sharia. Coming to your town soon.
What have YOU done to defend someone against jihadists.
The world’s denariuses. Where is the heavenly gold however?
