Had someone came and shot this artist or someone at the display imagine how different this conversation would be!

I imagine it would be much the same.

***Obviously, Texas does things much more differently than Commiefornica.

Obviously.

/facepalm

This isn't a Texas thing.
It's not a California thing

Geebus.

I understand that things are a bit tense down in the lone star state, with the imminent invasion, who wouldn't be a little jumpy?

Really?

If shots had been fired you think some here would say well hell ya! They should have known and not incited a riot? They got what they knew would be coming?

Really??

Nothing would be said about the artist insulting christians

All the blame would be placed on the radical christian shooter

Just as it should be for the radical shooter in TX

As I recall, a GREAT DEAL was said about the artist insulting Christians.

I also recall than "The Life of Brian" was banned in a number of places.

I consider myself a Christian who doesn't always follow the 10 commandments. I'm just an imperfect Christian like all the others in that religion, but I think that movie is one of the funniest and greatest works of art that the Monty Python group ever made.

See? I don't care what other people say. If they insult the Christian religion or Christ or whatever, that's between them and God. That's who they'll end up answering to on their day of judgment.

Now.... somebody said earlier in response to a post I made about this attack being inspired by ISIS, that it was a bunch of hokey or something. I'm not going back up to re-read it.

Take a look at this article. One of the gunmen (Simpson), had been in contact with IS supporters. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-gunmans-mother-he-just-had-a-normal-american-upbringing/ar-BBjeUWW So there you have it.

Home-grown jihadists are around us just waiting for their inspiration to strike. The FBI can't keep up with all of them.

There will be no addressing the customers as "Bitches", "Morons" or "Retards"!

You thought it was funny; others thought it was incredibly disrespectful. But most Americans, being familiar with the cultural context, see that as individual differences.
One Muslim sees Mohammed cartoons as funny; another as offensive. Since most of us don't have as much cultural context, we ascribe to all Muslims the behavior that's more visible.

What's interesting is that Garland has an active Muslim community, with a mosque and imam etc. They decided as a group to stay away and not protest or anything. But no one noticed that, did they?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

******Can somebody tell me why Pamela Geller hasn't been arrested for inciting a riot?

This would have never happened if it was cartoon drawing contest about Jesus, urine and elephant dung, I'm sure it would never have rated enough response to end up on DZ.COM.

Meh - all religions are equally stupid. Some are just more equal than others.

Like atheism.

Yep. It was front page news for a while.

>I also recall than "The Life of Brian" was banned in a number of places.

Our school prohibited students from seeing it. (Which of course guaranteed we'd all go see it.)

Why not?

There seem to be plenty of people in the US who want to live pre-April 12, 1861.

"Local muslim community decided to do nothing." Doesn't make for good news.

So you're living in a time before the "atheism is a religion" meme was debunked. Irony score 100%
