On November 21 a group of armed protesters surrounded a Irving, Florida, mosque to oppose the pending influx of Syrian refugees and the “Islamization of America.”
Some of the protesters had AR-15 rifles slung across their shoulders while others carried bolt action rifles popular for their long range accuracy. They explained that they were not carrying the weapons for offensive purposes, but to defend themselves in the event that things went badly during the protest.
According to Fox 4, protest spokesman David Wright said, “We are here protesting Syrian refugees coming to America [and] protesting the Islamization of America.” He is convinced that the opposition he and fellow protesters show is “popular” but people “are scared; they are scared to stand up and say anything about it. They are scared to come out to a place like [Irving] and stand in front of a mosque and protest Islam.”

Wow!
And a few pings.
Like.
I get your point but many of the mosques are part-time armories. They're the only "religious" group that does that type of thing routinely. Christian, Hindus, and Buddhists don't do it. So it begs the question why if they are a "religion of peace". I think we all know the answer here.
i do think its not the greatest idea though. People need to be lined up at the ports of entry instead.
Anyway - while their billboards were very graphic, and it was perhaps drawing bad press to our church property - it was legal.
Sometimes the freedoms that we enjoy in this country such as being armed and being free to disagree - even shout and scream - can be difficult. But - it is better than the alternative of not being armed and not being able to protest a church. Like in Sharia law.
So - I guess if the muslims, or KKK, or Black Lives Matter want to protest my church - legally - go ahead. (Where I live open carry is allowed).
However, it is sometimes a fine line between open carry (legal) and showing a weapon as a display of force and intimidation (illegal).
People are fed up by all the selling out of our country to the one and only group that already has infiltrated or invaded and taken over 57 countries on planet earth, and which trains its young to hate Christians and other “infidels”. (Whether the mosque or the dam@ed sell- out politicians’ quarters would be the best rallying locales I can’t say -——) but it’s obvious that the Sheeple are waking up.
Not where I'm at :-)
Too bad they didn’t set it on fire...
Sadly, Obama would order the Pentagon winnies to call out the 82d Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne Division, probably Seal Team 6, the Green Berets, and the Washington Redskins to surround the White House to protect his lying, skinny butt.
You mean the Washington no-names? Nee: redskins, but that’s rawshist, yunno. Smile smile smile
Let the odds be forever in You’re Favor.
This is what I call “the nuts move first”: at some point the less restrained and rational give up on polite logical discourse about contentious issues and start acting out what others merely debate - while most of us are discussing where to draw lines, some nut will act on “shoot the bastards” and the rest of us will have to deal with the consequences.
WWI started with some loser shooting an archduke.
Our Civil War started at Harper’s Ferry with some loon killing some blacks.
WWIII had almost started several times over stupid accidents.
Other examples exist but elude me at the moment.
Looks like CWII may start with some nut acting on “kill them all and let God sort them out”.
I understand your comment. That said, when this happens to Christians in Islamic states, what would muslims do?
This was still a non-violent message. I know it is one step away from violence but the fact that nobody was assaulted speaks to our ethics. Islam will be as aggressive here as in Europe if we behave like Europeans - which we won’t because we’re not.
The Islamization of Europe is in full swing. If this act gets around maybe they’ll get the message - America is not Europe, good luck doing here what you’re doing there.

Hey! That's an idea I posted on this forum in 2009.
But I'm glad somebody else had the idea too...'cause it's a good one.
Jim pulled my post, I think because it was provocative and would lead to bad press.
Pretty hard to do when they are flying them in on Fed Ex planes and delivering them in LA in the dead of night, loading them on buses and heading north.
I suspect you may have it right.
somethings growing and it isn’t “grass roots”.
I suspect its a web of deceit, woven to inspire the sort of action that will lead to obie picking up his phone and declaring martial law.

Well, the left coast voted for 'em, now they're gettin' 'em. We'd be better of if it all fell into the sea.
Only partly kidding.
