Two gunmen were killed and a security guard wounded in an attack outside a controversial Dallas-area event Sunday evening where organizers were holding a contest for cartoons featuring the Muslim prophet Muhammad, police said.
The shooting in Garland, a Texas suburb about 20 miles from Dallas, was preceded by messages from two social media accounts that supported extremist Islamic viewpoints.
One tweet, sent at 6:35 p.m., used the hashtag "#texasattack." The user wrote, “May Allah accept us as mujahideen.” Attendees inside the conference didn’t get word about the shooting until 6:50 p.m.

Two social media accounts tweeted messages about the attack apparently before it happened.
A Twitter account titled “Shariah is Light” – bearing the image of extremist Islamic propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in an American drone strike in Yemen in 2011 – tweeted an allusion to the attack just minutes before it happened.
“May Allah accept us as mujahideen [holy warriors],” the account tweeted.
Before the shooting, the “Shariah is Light” account also tweeted a command to follow another account, titled “AbuHussainAlBritani,” which also tweeted before and after the Texas shooting.
“The knives have been sharpened, soon we will come to your streets with death and slaughter!” tweeted the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account before the attack. That account’s avatar is a man in a mask pointing an assault rifle at the camera.
After the attack, the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account began tweeting praise of the Texas shooting, and linked the attack to the militant group Islamic State.
“Allahu Akbar!!!!! 2 of our brothers just opened fire at the ... art exhibition in texas!,” the account tweeted. “Kill Those That Insult The Prophet.”
“They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,” the account tweeted.

Do it out in a rural area, make sure there are lots of hunters in trees.
WE can only guess the extent of the slaughter that would have ensued had the terrorists acquired access to where the event took place. In the meantime there are a bunch of muzzie thugs(can I say that?) running around free in the town of Garland. Don’t think that the only jihadists in Garland where those that were killed.
Wake up, America! the religion of peace is knocking on your door but not to bring peace.
Amen.Is the cartoon thing to draw them out?
Or an already condemned building. They could actually do us a favor...

Wake up, America! the religion of peace is knocking on your door but not to bring peace. better protect all your soft targets.
Let’s not be too proud — we were lucky this time. Prayers of thanksgiving would be more appropriate. There are many jihadists left who will try again and every day new ones are coming in.
These Terrorists could have come across the border but they used a car... so that will be one telltale sign to track down where this originated from. I’ve been thinking of this myself.
Yep, with the Baltimore Police Department and many being criticized around the nation, the Garland Police Department took care of this problem and should be commended, otherwise, it could have been a bloodbath.
I know Mosques are watched, maybe for various reasons. The police must have been well-prepared.
Thanks for the link.
I hope the media isn’t calling these terrorists “protesters” by morning
Hm?
Get thee to the gun shop.
Hm?
Thanks for the link (to TargetMasters) in your post #37.
Their twitter feed is pretty clear — it seems there is a third person (at least) tweeting on their behalf.
I gotta get me some bacon.
Maybe police need to trace that account
Ah, okay.
So it is written, so it shall be done. One must be fully armed against this: Bible, Bullets, and Bacon! :)

Pamela Geller’s twitter feed (as well as excerpts from Spencer) have the tweets. Looks like a planned attack as of a few weeks ago.
You gotta laugh at the mujahadeen who thought this would go over well in Texas. It’s all over but the clean up.
And on their graves.
