Tense standoff outside US mosque over Mohammad cartoon protest

Phoenix (AFP) - Anti-Islam protesters -- some of them heavily armed -- faced off against religious rights demonstrators outside a US mosque, in a tense but peaceful standoff.

About 200 demonstrators from each group stood outside the mosque in Phoenix, Arizona, where a biker crew had said they would hold a Mohammed cartoon contest.

Dozens of officers lined up between the two sets of protesters, using yellow police tape to separate them near the gates of the Islamic Community Center mosque in north Phoenix.

"Stop Islam" was among the slogans on placards held by bearded bikers, one of whom wore a T-shirt reading "Support Your Local White Boy" and had a shouting match with rival demonstrators across the police lines.

Several anti-Islam protesters were heavily armed -- some with AR-15 assault rifles -- and wore military fatigues. Arizona has some of the laxest gun laws in the United States.

But after several hours of tension, the standoff eased -- though officers kept the two groups apart.

The AP/Yahoo people have absolutely no idea what "heavily armed," really means/is.

yes it does have a foot hold. this country has to make some laws making it clear that it cant have sharia law and that using religion to advocate violence is a reason for a religion to lose masque sites and to deport or arrest those using the cover of religion to advocate termism. because we have to treat all religions the same have the laws enacted to cover all religions. I no this is scary for those that value there religious freedom but if given a chance anyone that is Muslim will take that freedom away from you.

Say what? What religious right are they defending?

They should have held a gay wedding outside the mosque. How would the AP spin that?

The right to behead those who do not believe as they do and the right to rape and enslave captive women and girls and the right to be pedophiles.

Yes-—they actually are using Goebbels techniques which will eventually take over the WHOLE country.

Muslims are Fascists and Socialists first-—and as Solzhenitsyn stated-—even a little bit os Socialism rots the Soul.

We are being conditioned in public schools to be Slaves of the State-—exactly what JS Mill stated would happened with the State controlling and embedding the “proper emotions” in our little kids.

Get your children OUT of the public schools indoctrination systems where a Patrick Henry worldview is KILLED. Individualism only exists with a Christian Worldvieiw-—where ideas and Virtue our instilled in the FAMILY unit-—where fear of thinking outside the box is instilled and embedded-—mass conformity is slavery to the culture-—like the pathetic “Good German” in the thirties-—only possible because of the State control over the minds of little children which Lenin bragged about in Russia. “Group Think” is slave think and instills FEAR. FEAR is essential for tyranny (Montesquieu).

Wisdom is a Virtue, but without Courage it is useless. The emotions and desires embedded into our children have been one of dependency and vice and vices make slaves of the masses as any true Christian knows. Vice also creates people like Justice Roberts-—people who are nothing but puppets to be controlled by the billionaires (Libido Dominandi)

I am a religious bigot and I don’t care. religion is a belief system and I believe that its all right to not like a group of people over there belief system if they espouse that belief.

What is your first language? Try writing this sentence in your native language and then translate it into English, because this gibberish is just that...gibberish.

A critique is not outrage, and any string of words are readable, but do they convey a cogent thought?

The grammar is poor, "there instead of their", no caps, just a string of words.

It doesn't appear that English is the first language, and if it is, go back to grade school.

“religious rights demonstrators “.
It’s not a religion. It’s a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion.

Cartoons vs chopping heads. The left chooses the side of the head choppers.
