Garland - shock moment in Texas!
In a controversial competition with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed shots were fired near Dallas. An official in special operations outfit said the visitors towards the end of the event on Sunday evening (local time) at the Curtis Culwell Center in the city of Garland, the shots were fired in front of the building.
The venue was cordoned off immediately.
As US media reports, two suspects were shot. They had tried the event had to approach with a bomb. In the shootout, therefore also a security guard was injured.
Planten the perpetrators may have a stop like in Paris?
To date, there have been to no details or confirmation: It was not immediately clear whether the shots had something to do with the event. The police spokesman Joe Harn did not want to confirm the information provided by the officers first.
The New York-based American Freedom Defense Initiative hosted the disputed competition. The Dutch right-wing populist Geert Wilders had attended the event, should make a speech there. The winner with the best Mohammed cartoon should be awarded $ 10,000.
Two Islamists stormed on January 7, the editorial offices of the satirical newspaper "Charlie Hebdo" in Paris, which had always taken care of with Mohammed caricatures stir. They shot there and in their flight twelve people. A sympathizer of the two killed four other people in the following days a police officer and a hostage situation in a Jewish supermarket in Paris. The three Islamists were finally shot in police operations.
This was not a Christian event. So what?
Let the false god worshipers be offended
And, of course, this attack had nothing to do with Islam. (In before Obama.)
At this time Homeland Security has determined that there is not a shred of evidence that terrorism was involved with this attack. /sarc
I agree we dont respond violently when our faith is attacked. Fortunately for us we worship the real God who cannot be touched by insults and does not need us to defend Him. I guess I’m just old, because although I feel anger toward those who perpetrated the attack, I also feel sadness that we resort to provoking those who could still be reached.
Don’t mind me, just melancholy tonight.
I don't think was or was intended to be a Christian event. It was a free speech event and free speech is the right of all Americans regardless of religious beliefs or other belief systems.
I totally agree it was well within the right of free speech and the first amendment. No argument there and no tears for the terrorists that were dispatched tonight. In fact I have a lot of anger towards those who perpetrate such acts.
However, just because you can do something, and have every right to, doesn’t mean you should. We don’t have to lower ourselves to the level of the lowest common denominator. Not a popular view, I know, but my feeling none the less.
In most cases there is no need to be provocative, but we have living among us people who would deny most all rights Americans enjoy under our constitution if they had the means to deny those rights. Have we ever had such people living in the US before?
The fact that two or more apparently showed up to attack an event that offends their religious beliefs tells us the mentality of many Muslims, some who live among us. We are better off knowing what lives among us in this case. And maybe we will have a government in the near future that will take these dangers seriously.
Well, on the other hand, these people need to be flushed out and eliminated. Events like this are, apparently, a good way to get them out in the open where you can kill them. The more of these type individuals that can be eliminated from the US, the better.
A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE SAYING OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ON ISLAM (THERE ARE MANY MORE):
“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”
“The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”
“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope”.
What, the chalk outlines?
Ive met Pamela Gellar..in Manchester, TN last June..
Like I said she’s got guts...and ah she’s a Jew...
there are 2 less terrorists for us to worry about.
