Really doesn't have anything to do with that. It's more about not doing something that is intended to provoke people. What's so hard about just being respectful to someone's religion? I'm fine with free speech, but whoever put this on and participated are just terrible people.

I'd expect something similar to happen if they held a "pin the nail on Jesus" contest.


Yep, all religions are equally violent. Look at all the terrorism that has sparked up due to a hit musical poking fun at Mormonism.

Setting snark aside, imagine if Broadway had a hit musical called "The Quran". How many deaths would result from that? I'll go on a limb and say a few more than the Mormons have caused over Parker and Stone's "Book of Mormon"

what's so hard about expressing your First Amendment rights without fear of being shot???

We have a tremendous amount of a holes in this country supporting and espousing their a hole ideas.

I personally would love to coldcock these idiots stepping on the American flag. I would love to halt the KKK marches/rallies but I cannot. They are free to be idiots without fear of retribution because of our Bill of Rights.

To recede from the freedoms that we have are to give them up forever. I won't stand for that.

frick are you talking about? People openly and publicly bash Christianity every single day in this country, Bill Maher has made a fricking career out of it, and you never hear about people being killed over it.

Yep. And what's interesting/hilarious/sad is that Maher is one of the few anti-Christian people who will openly say that there is no question Islam is worse in regards to violence, oppression, hate, etc.

I respect him for that.

Yep, it's one of the only things I agree with him on.

This just in:

Jobu awards the Garland Police Department first prize in yesterday's drawing contest. Their winning drawing was the outline of two dead terrorists.

Cheers, GPD.

Is Andres Serrano a terrible person? Are people who antagonize Christians terrible people? Or just people who antagonize non-Westerns?

I have to wonder what they were expecting in putting this event on. It was obviously to be provocative.

Of course, that's no reason for violence.

Maybe a protest but not a Baptist Jihadist attack. The beautiful about "Murica" is we have this thing called the Constitution!

Grew up in a very artistic household (my Father's 1st career was as the Curator of Arts at a large university) and seen plenty of art shows that depicted religions, especially Christianity, in an unfavorable light....yet never saw anything but some whackadoodles protesting.

In Texas, when there's a rattlesnake on your property, it typically hides underground. Rattlers are smart enough to make sure they have more than one way in and out of the den. The solution is to set a small fire at one entrance, wait for the smoke to drive them out of the other, and shoot them.

i'm not saying Christians acted awesome in all of those scenarios as far as the "blacklash" but not a single person was hurt over it.

But Ellison and Carson believe that Wilders’ past criticism of Islam — and he has indeed been critical — is hate speech and that it warrants him being kept out of the U.S.
Thats from the Daily Caller a while back. The two Muslim members of Congress asked for Wilders entrance to the U.S. to be barred.

I'd guess the primary object was self-promotion by Geller. Apparently, the jihadis were more than willing to participate in the promotion.

It was like fish in a barrel for Garland SWAT. Terrorists shoot 20 times and wound a security guard in the leg. SWAT shoots twice and kills 2 jihadis. Good job, fellas. These guys need more of this live fire practice.

It's like a Terrorist yard sale. We should do this once a week and clean house.

Personally, if doing something like this puts a couple allah akbar assholes out in public so we can shoot them, I'm all for it. The more jihadists the world sees publicly executed in our country, the safer we are.

So yeah, post a picture of the prophet. Wait for the enraged muslims. Shoot them. Profit.
