2 gunmen killed, guard shot outside Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas (New Info)
LA Times ^ | 5/3/15 | Matt Pearce

Two gunmen were killed and a security guard wounded in an attack outside a controversial Dallas-area event Sunday evening where organizers were holding a contest for cartoons featuring the Muslim prophet Muhammad, police said.

The shooting in Garland, a Texas suburb about 20 miles from Dallas, was preceded by messages from two social media accounts that supported extremist Islamic viewpoints.

One tweet, sent at 6:35 p.m., used the hashtag "#texasattack." The user wrote, “May Allah accept us as mujahideen.” Attendees inside the conference didn’t get word about the shooting until 6:50 p.m.

Two social media accounts tweeted messages about the attack apparently before it happened.

A Twitter account titled “Shariah is Light” – bearing the image of extremist Islamic propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in an American drone strike in Yemen in 2011 – tweeted an allusion to the attack just minutes before it happened.

“May Allah accept us as mujahideen [holy warriors],” the account tweeted.

Before the shooting, the “Shariah is Light” account also tweeted a command to follow another account, titled “AbuHussainAlBritani,” which also tweeted before and after the Texas shooting.

“The knives have been sharpened, soon we will come to your streets with death and slaughter!” tweeted the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account before the attack. That account’s avatar is a man in a mask pointing an assault rifle at the camera.

After the attack, the “AbuHussainAlBritani” account began tweeting praise of the Texas shooting, and linked the attack to the militant group Islamic State.

“Allahu Akbar!!!!! 2 of our brothers just opened fire at the ... art exhibition in texas!,” the account tweeted. “Kill Those That Insult The Prophet.”

“They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,” the account tweeted.

Cornyn is another open borders whore who knew about the ISIS camps in Mexico and didn’t do anything about it.

Yes, this has all the attributes of a border crossing by illegals from who knows where..and as to the government, who cares. Well, we all care and wish they would stop playing politics with our lives!

PS: We suggest Hollywood and New York City, the media centers are there and you will get far more coverage. Did we mention they’re gun free zones?

Looks like the attack was timed to coincide with people leaving the event. They were basically on their way to leave when the shots wrang out. And they were told to go back into the conference room. The terrorist appeared to be surprised by the first agent they shot. Because they were still in their vehicle.

Yep...we’re more inclined to shoot their mujaheddin asses than those in DC would. I’m waiting for the poor, misunderstood freedom fighters crowd to pipe up.

Looks like I’ll need to purchase my personal weapons sooner rather than later. Texas has long been infiltrated but that’s ok, we’ll take care of ourselves.

A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE SAYINGS OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ON ISLAM (THERE ARE MANY MORE):

“The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”

“The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”

“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope”.

You probably should have purchased them long before now. There’s going to be a run on the gun stores tomorrow, guaranteed.

How can we get ISIS (or other terrorist du jour) to attack our flag stomping, city burning thugs.

Well, we can safely assume they did NOT enter through a major airport but instead casually strolled at some unknown point along the southern border of the only nation on Earth that officially refuses to secure its borders!!!
