A victory for Free Speech and freedom in general.

Let's not kid ourselves that Pamela Geller gives two shits about "freedom."

Vile people who aren't breaking any laws deserve protection as much as anyone else. That's all I'll say in defense of this incident.

The comment section on that article was, shall we say, predicable.

Let's see where this thread heads.

There is only one reason to hold a Mohammad Cartoon Contest, and it isn't to exercise freedom of speech.

I predict multiple appearances of "X is on your ignore list."

Translation:

It's too bad they didn't take out Pamela Geller before getting taken out themselves.

ABC News said officials believed Simpson sent out tweets ahead of the attack, with the last one using the hashtag #texasattack. It said, "My bro and myself have given bay'ah to Amirul Mu'mineen. May Allah accept us as mujahideen. Make dua."

"Bay'ah" means "oath of allegiance" in Arabic, and "Amirul Mu'mineen" is "commander of the faithful," a title of caliphs and other Muslim rulers. "Dua" means "supplication." The tweet was pulled from Twitter after the attack.

A fighter for Islamic State, a militant group which has taken over large parts of Iraq and Syria, said in a tweet that "2 of our brothers just opened fire at the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) art exhibition in Texas," according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S.-based monitoring group.

And, big surprise, USSA progressive empathizers are already in this thread...

...starting their usual deflection game.

I'm waiting for Muslims to have drawing contests of Christ.

Which of course is not only incorrect, but literally the exact opposite of what I said.

I understand perfectly, Uncle Doublespeak...

...even through its redundancy.

And now the zygote loving zombie worshipper is able to read minds. Will the miracles never cease?

That would make too much sense.

Excellent support of the 1st Amendment.

So many people have trouble applying Freedom of Speech to speech they don't like.

I support people jumping up in public and proclaiming their stupidity, so all may know them for what they are. And vice versa. But I have the feeling there is a lot more dumb going around than smart.

Please proclaim what you think that lonely, singular reason might be.

Life is usually not that simple.

I suspect there are as many reasons as there are people who participate.

It's easy to think of ten thousand reasons why someone would want to win. (For those who didn't read the article, first prize is ten thousand dollars)

if you dont want the answer


dont axe the question

 

[VaticanAssassin]

The two chalk outlines out front ended up winning the contest I think.....

If A similar contest where held in every major city to draw out terror cells would it be entrapment.....

 

[LadyVer]

Well, that or Muslims think it would be kind of silly.

Don't they have a thing against "graven images"?

This always struck me as idiotic, a way to stick society in a pre-Gutenberg era.

No, that would be Christians:

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments

That makes him sound like an insecure prick.

Actually, seaniepoo, that would be the Israelites, God's chosen people, as the story goes, who were given that 2nd of 10 Commandments ushering-in the biblical era of the Dispensation of the Law...

...Christians, on the other hand, live under the Dispensation of Grace, as the story also goes, which began when God into man - the very holy and human fulfillment of his own 10 Commandments - sacrificed himself in their place so that all who believe in him may be saved from eternal damnation (being forever separated from him).

Many believe that man is, indeed, immortal, being created in the image of God himself...

...with the God-given individual liberty to choose how she or he would like to serve that immortality.

So much grace...

...yet still a hell.

I was listening to the local yak radio station last night when this was the topic of discussion. The audience seemed to be evenly divided as to whether it was "Free Speech" taken too far (the SPLC's and many other 'liberal' groups opinion) or a case of 'bee's to honey', a sort of entrapment.

I kinda feel in with the 'Bee's to honey' crowd with a different analogy. If you live in an area where lightening is common it's prudent to install lightening rods. And it appears that that kind of lightening is going to become more common in the US. It's not hard to imagine the results had those two clowns chosen to hit a soft symbolic target like a parochial school or Jewish synagogue.

The town, Garland, TX., where the event occurred rang a bell with me. Maybe ten years ago I posted a news blurb regarding an Arab taxi driver that murdered his two daughters because they were becoming 'too westernized.' Cities with relatively high Muslim populations (Mpls/St Paul, Detroit area, Phx/Tuscon area, Dallas area among others) are the most susceptible to these clowns antics.
