If some one will not allow you free speech without fear... It's over. Yes, that doesn't mean you can yell fire in a crowded theater. So this all comes back to people like MIKE BIRCH that feel they have the RIGHT to censor any one they disagree with.


Once again you feel the need to drag me into your own personal vendetta, Glenny. Sad, just too sad. Get over it - whatever you think I did here - I didn't. And it was what, over a year ago? - and you can't get over it yet? Pitiful.

My friend, you have already surrendered to Islamic domination. It's only a matter of time & opportunity before you're paying the dhimmi tax to live as a slave.

I'm trying to remember when you had the same objections about atheists or homosexual activists who are provoking the sensitivities of Christians in America. No, you join in the provocation of such things, but when it comes to muslims you cower in fear of what they might do about a cartoon contest. A CARTOON CONTEST!

Cowards hide from bullies. Texans kick their asses so we don't have to hide.

Again...you're welcome.

Muslim Gunmen Prove Pamela Geller is Right
Posted 35 mins ago by Tad Cronn Filed under Crime, Culture, Islam, Judaism, Law, Liberal Hypocrisy, Religion, Terrorism

http://godfatherpolitics.com/22177/musl ... -is-right/

It was the furthest thing from unexpected when two would-be jihadi roommates tried to shoot up a Mohammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas, this weekend.

Police later said the two dead gunmen didn't seem to have planned their attack very well before they tried to bust into the convention center, guns a-blazing.

If they had, they might have realized the contest organizers had hired heavy security on top of that already provided by local SWAT and other officers of the law.

Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi were roommates before they responded to an online call for someone to "destroy Texas" because of the cartoon contest, which offered a $10,000 prize to the winning entry.

The contest was inspired by the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris. The location was chosen because a hypocritical "Stand With the Prophet Against Violence and Hatred" convention was held there shortly after the Charlie Hebdo murders.

The cartoon competition was organized by conservative firebrand Pamela Geller, who has led an ongoing campaign to educate Americans about the reality of Islamic violence and to slow the spread of Islam in America.

The several hundred cartoon entries themselves ranged from rude and crudely drawn to inspired and skillful. But all of them found plenty of material to criticize in the life of a Jew-hating, woman beating, mass-slaughtering, child-marrying warlord whose most mentally unbalanced followers still plague the world.

Donald Trump blamed Geller for the weekend's aborted terrorism attack. "What is she doing drawing Muhammad?" he asked. "And it looks like she’s actually taunting people – and it’s disgusting that it happened and everything else. But what are they doing drawing Muhammad? Isn’t there something else they can draw?"

The mainstream media has mostly picked up on the "blame Geller" theme, with the L.A. Times pointing out that the Southern Poverty Law Center considers Geller and her organization a hate group. (Then again, the SPLC is itself an anti-conservative hate group, so something about pots and kettles there.)

Trump is right that artists could draw something other than Mohammed -- Donald Trump with his head in the sand, for instance -- but "drawing something" clearly wasn't the point.

The point was to take a stand for free speech -- you know, that thing that all the world's leaders except ours promised to do after the Charlie Hebdo march in Paris.

As always with Geller, the plan was to confront Islam then educate America by confronting liberals and other ignorant types with the truth about Islam.

In this case, two junior jihadis proved that Geller is right on every single point she has ever made about Islam.

Obviously, not all Muslims are terrorists. Two people attacked the contest in Garland. Two, not thousands, certainly not all.

But those media-dubbed "moderates," as always, are nowhere to be seen. Geller is being blamed for taunting the jihadis.

That's a bit like saying, "But, yer honor, she was wearin' a pair o' shorts and a very low-cut top. I was inticed." Aren't we repeatedly told by feminists that is no excuse?

The same principle applies here. Geller didn't load those guys and their guns into a car and drive them to the convention center. That was all on their own initiative, with the encouragement of their online social network.

So where are the moderate Muslim voices condemning violence at the former site of a "Stand With the Prophet Against Violence and Hatred" conference? As usual, they aren't heard.

When you look at the modern Muslim world, what you're seeing is a backward, Medieval-based culture in which much of the population is being held captive by fear of what the fundamentalist believers in Mohammed will do.

Even here in the West we frequently hear about the beheadings, stonings, honor killings, maimings and other horrors regularly inflicted on people for the pettiest of crimes or even for imaginary transgressions. Videos of these events are regularly posted on the Internet as some sort of bizarre recruitment tactic.

The strange thing is, it works.

Across the globe, supposedly civilized young people are being drawn in to the ISIS cult and other jihadi groups, volunteering to kill themselves and the "enemies of Islam," which is just about everybody.

In the case of girls, they are volunteering to be passed around as sex slaves for the glory of Allah. Most of them will wind up unwed mothers for the glory of Allah, too.

No, the Garland attack wasn't "asking for it," it was a laboratory for conducting an experiment -- one that worked.

If there are Muslims who truly want Islam to be a religion of peace, they need to first find a way to be free of the bloodthirsty murder cult that's using their nam

you mean they're not heard on FOX "news", www.conservativewackos.com, or any of the other places muslim haters get their "news" from.

why don't you ask yourself why you aren't hearing about muslims protesting and condemning this kind of violence?

it's because it serves your narrative that all muslims and followers of islam are evil. you actually BELIEVE that everyday muslims aren't bothered and horrified by these despicable acts?

fine...let's see what a little research on that shows.

Sorry I'm so late I had to use my machete to cut through the hypocrisy to get in here...

You sit there trying to impress us with your vast and all encompassing knowledge, exercising YOUR right to freedom of speech, which ironically allows you to do so, all the while berating someone else for exercising theirs.

Whether you agree with this cartoon contest or not, they did have the right to hold it, period. They knew the risks, they invested $10,000 in additional security for that reason, and it worked. The only fatalities were the attackers. If they had their way you would not be able to sit there and type a single word they did not approve.

Who do you suppose should stand up against this kind of assault on your basic freedoms? You don't seem willing to do so, you're calling them stupid for doing so. Want to dispute that claim? Here's a verbatim quote:

And again, the "contest" people are idiots.

Just one of the various comments that tell me some of the people here are willing to sit back and watch while their rights and freedoms are chipped away. Yet you want to exercise your own right to say what you think...while calling someone else stupid for doing so. OK calling them idiots...to be precise, before you start berating me for twisting your words around to use them against you.

Maybe you missed one important line in the article above:

The point was to take a stand for free speech -- you know, that thing that all the world's leaders except ours promised to do after the Charlie Hebdo march in Paris.

OK did you catch it this time? Our fearless "leader" failed to join other world leaders in the march in Paris. Yes I realize some of those very same leaders have abysmal records on freedom of speech and freedom in general. But it was a step in the right direction for some of them who realized, even though their own countries don't have great records on freedom of speech, the attacks on Charlie Hebdo were a wake up call to them all. But our government was conspicuously absent.

I'm not sure why but this reminded me of the Boston Tea Party. Different reasons, but similar idea, stand up for themselves. I'm also reminded of John Hancock who signed the Declaration of Independence in huge handwriting, so the king could read it "without his spectacles". There's freedom of speech for ya...

And so it has always been in this country. Al Sharpton is a slug, troublemaker, tax cheat, generally despicable, but he cannot be shut up because he has the same right to voice his opinion you do, offensive as it might be and as much as I don't like it. Thousands of people fought and died so he would have that right. Possibly millions. (I don't have the death tool on WWII on hand) The promoters of this cartoon contest have the same right, period. And one street cop stopped the attack dead in its tracks. That $10,000 in heavy security paid off. A SWAT team was ready, extra security was on hand, they didn't go into it blind.

And for you to sit there and bitch about them doing it just highlights your hypocrisy. By doing so you are exercising your own right to freedom of speech...and berating theirs. Nice job...what's your next trick? You just destroyed any credibility you may have once had.

i don't think anyone is attacking their right to freedom of speech.

it's their right... just the same as the KKK and The Aryan Nation and every other HATE GROUP out there.

and just like those other hate groups....i count them as cretins and low life scum.

Cowards hide in the face intimidation.

Lucky for you, there's Texas to protect the rights of decent people...and liberals.

"it serves your narrative that all muslims and followers of islam are evil."

OK you lying phony, show me where I said "ALL MUSLIMS ARE EVIL". You won't find that for I never wrote that. So why don't you show me where I wrote "ALL FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM ARE EVIL". You won't find that either.

Do you really have to quote yourself in an attempt to add validity your lying leftist drivel? Are those phony quotations supposed to add validity to your lies?

You have only read my negative opinions about those who commit Jihad and their murdering cowardly acts of terrorism.

"Brilliant, although I predict that Slacker, Glenny and the other reactionary cons on this site will be uncharacteristically silent." <--- I doubt that very much..


"Sorry I'm so late I had to use my machete to cut through the hypocrisy to get in here..." <--- So right on. :) :) :)

You're right. They are attacking this event because they fear for their own skin; they are cowards, afraid of making thugs angry. They don't seem to mind it when Christians are provoked and HATE GROUPS come against us. We don't rise up in violent anger, or get offended at the drop of a cartoon. Do you blame the woman who dresses in a skirt if she gets raped? This was less provocative than that... a cartoon contest.

The purpose was a peaceful gathering to express freedom of speech. No one at the contest burned down a CVS. No one destroyed a cop car. No one rioted, looted, or committed an act of violence (except in self-defense). People met to compare CARTOONS, fer crying out loud.

Two Islamic terrorist thugs showed up to slaughter a bunch of innocent people, just like they did in Paris France, and met their maker. They didn't have to be there. They could have stayed home and watched different cartoons. They could have baked a gay wedding cake. They could have turned the other cheek. But their hate drove them to attempt a mass slaughter...and their hatred drew them out.

These thugs murder non-muslims that dare to stand up to their intimidation all over the world every day. There is nothing we can do that doesn't offend them, and they would kill you just a quickly as any cartoonist if given the chance.

Well, we aren't intimidated in Texas and we are not going to cower in fear about drawing whatever cartoons we want. Seems like people would have learned from the Holocaust that appeasement doesn't work.

Brilliance from a few. Idiocy from the three.
I turn my back for a few moments to go and make some money to support the poor... The gates of hell start to open.
Billy, thank you for your eloquent writings. I am impressed an encouraged that there is life after corruption of values.

Other than that, we have a few that have painted themselves in to such a hypocritical corner that they have NO WAY OUT.

I am laughing, and I would have to say... STOP FEEDING THE IDIOTS.
