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.

LOL! That IS a monumental twist. If you are anti-Islam, then you are by definition PRO RELIGIOUS RIGHTS, since Islam demands that you convert or die.

An armed ANTI ISLAM rally is a polite ANTI ISLAM rally.

“...anti-Islam protesters — some of them heavily armed — faced off against religious rights demonstrators...”

Someone is confused. The unholy koran commands moslems over 100 times to kill the unbeliever. That is still islamist law. Sounds a bit against religious rights, doesn’t it?

The “pro religious rights” side is defending the right to sell naked little girls at auction.

I think you are thinking of the British. Don’t under estimate the French.

we cant let it get a foothold in the united states

Where have you been for the last decade or two? The Islamic camel has already gotten much more than it's nose under the tent flap, it has it's entire body inside the tent. Take a quick tour of Detroit, or certain areas of any American city, if you doubt it.

The MSM is generally evil and wicked, they fit this description perfectly:


Romans 1:..

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 6:16-19

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

The Nazi propagandists at AP really believe that they are garnering favor from the head-choppers. These idiots are classical useful idiots. I will not lift a finger to save them.
