Two Terrorist Gunmen Shot Dead at Garland TX Mohammed Cartoon Show

Christians get it every day, from even their own family. Facebook is full of insults to us. I can't remember the last guy who killed someone and claimed it was because they were insulting Christ.

Muslims have to assimilate to a place with free speech.

And this had NOTHING to do with Christianity.

I guess there's folks on this board who justify the stoning of Stephen.

And Elijah was awful hard on those Baal-ites, weren't he ?

Please identify a single post where someone has justified this kind of attack. I am unaware of anyone who has stated it is right to attack someone - much less try to kill someone - with whom you disagree, no matter what the religious offense.

Maybe justify is a strong word, but there is an element of "they had it coming", I feel anyway, in the criticism of these folks.

Two thoughts:

1.) By turning a blind eye to these events (or even supporting them!), we help to radicalize Muslims, perpetuating an extremely serious global problem. Unfortunately, to many Muslims overseas, the United States is seen as the representative for Christianity. Stories about events like this travel around the world through Islamic circles. Wouldn't it be great if Christians protested this event and THAT was also known throughout the Islamic world?

There is nothing Christians can do to "radicalize" muslims. They are the way they are because they worship a false prophet of a false god, a god that requires the murder of all who do not believe in him. No other reason is needed.

It sounds to me like you would blame Christians for the murderous attitudes of muslims in this instance, just as many tried to blame the U.S.for 911. Sounds a lot like justification to me.

I reject such a hypothesis.

Right along with any evidence that conflicts with the mainstream consensus/narrative.

The majority of posters on this board do this with every unarmed black man killed by the police. It's a cacophony of "he got what he deserved" or "have you seen his rap sheet?" or "the thug got was coming to him", etc.

No one has said any such thing about this situation. But the lot of you have already set the precedent for blaming the victims.

So do even you know a single follower of Islam personally?

I know several. I also know a couple of missionaries who work in the Middle East in Islamic countries where the government would not be terribly concerned if they were killed.

There are bad Muslims and good Muslims. God is working in the lives of many Muslims today, and our missionaries are constantly reminded of the way the Spirit goes before them.

Islam is indeed a false religion and Muhammad is not a prophet of God, but that does not necessarily lead to violence.

Sounds like you need to brush up on your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. I have not said, nor implied, any such thing.

That is a totally illogical and idiotic statement. It is precisely the worship of that false prophet that leads to violence.

Your "good" muslims worship the same false god the "bad" ones do. None of them need an excuse to kill "infidels". Their false god requires it.

So quit apologizing for muslim killers by trying to make Christians responsible for their killings.

Here's the egregious event they invaded.

Christians should have been there - supporting the event. The free speech that allows these people to put on an event allows us to preach the Gospel.

There are several Muslim clerics across the world who have been vocal in supporting this kind of action.

If you go their social media accounts, Twitter in particular, you can see their support.

Also, check #TexasAttack for more results justifying this behavior.

While I support their right to put on this event it was nothing more than a trolling session designed to be provocative. Stuff like this isn't helping anything. This event was organized by Pamela Geller the mastermind of the NYC transit ads who everyone not long ago was complaining about but I guess is now is supporting.

Here is the thread talking about her transit ads from a few weeks ago.

I thought this was the same person. Thanks for the verification.

I couldn't even begin to see any Christian serious about seeing Muslims saved participating in anything like this.

For what purpose? Do we stand with the homosexuals or the abortionists when they banner their sin in the name of free speech?

This was a deliberate act to provoke people, and it's just not something that people who want to point others to Christ need to be associated.

Two thoughts:

1.) It is incredibly disrespectful that this group would hold an event designed to be disrespectful to Islam and inflame Muslim anger.

What the WHAT? You the same person defending illegals who disrespect our laws language culture complaining? Ironic you are.

So would you go to a Westboro Baptist protest and "celebrate their right of free speech?"

You better believe this poster supports their right to free speech.

It was a closed meeting. Everyone there wanted to be there and ID was required to enter. They infringed on nobody's rights.

Whether or not I like what they were doing or would have attended myself, just doesn't matter at all.

They had a constitutional right to be there doing what they were doing.

My favorite drawing at the location would have been the 2 chalk outlines in the street.
