An anti-Islam rally in Phoenix on Friday will feature a Muhammad cartoon-drawing contest.
The scheduled location is outside the Islamic Community Center in north Phoenix.
The gathering comes less than a month after a similar event in Texas sparked gunfire that left three people, including two Phoenix men, dead.
The organizer said he had to do “something” because he does not want Islam spreading in the U.S.
“We’re just out utilizing our First Amendment,” the organizer, Jon Ritzheimer, said.

He is urging attendees to be peaceful once again, but the Facebook page for the event warns people to come armed because of a “much anticipated attack.”

Left “two Phoenix men” dead? Weren’t those the attackers?
Yep.
“...anti-Islam rally”
Is the reporter saying Islam is an intolerant bloodthirsty believe system that is fundamentally at odds with free speech and will slaughter anyone who practices speech they don’t like?
Some folks have freedom of speech in the USA; some do not.
The organizer of this event is a Marine and he’s coming armed.
“Texas sparked gunfire that left three people, including two Phoenix men, dead.”
I thought two men dead, not three?
Local television got it wrong.
Check out the comments. Some of the commenters were at the Garland TX event.
Who shall reach out to the Muslim community to pass on the word that JOHN McCAIN is going to judge this contest?
And I hear that McCain has invited everyone to bring their Mo cartoons to his house afterwards for cocktails.;-)
The bastards in the media can’t stop themselves from lying. It’s not “anti-Islam”.
This is what they do. They attempt to frame the terms of the debate by their choice of words. They know that most people will not bother reading the article, and that the headline is what will stay with them.
Where exactly is this building ?
Figures!
Thanks!
These Cartoon Contests should be a common element in any demonstartion as we have seen the Islamic people can’t take it. Its like calling Putin a pedophile, or Hitler a Jew (he was part Jewish you know). Let a thousand cartoons bloom all over the Christian world! Why we could even have Cartoon contests of Jesus, Mary, Moses, and Buddah as well (just to show they do not mind—some can be cute too). Maybe Cartoon major figures in Islam—like Abu Baker or Hassan. Maybe an Islamic “Sad Sack” a sucide bomber who can’t do it right.
It would be difficult to come up with a less honest description of the failed mass murder attempted at that event by Islamic radicals.
I doubt there will be much of a turn out. Phoenix metro has a long history of not caring, and certainly not protesting, except for a very limited number of leftist hot heads and illegal immigrants.
However, I also expect that those who do attend will be carrying guns, and may likely outnumber those who aren’t.
Plus, the Phoenix PD will be all over the place, and “Them fellers know how to shoot.”
