POLICE OFFICER SHOT AT 'MUHAMMAD ART CONTEST' IN TEXAS
WND ^ | 5/3/2015 | ART MOORE

Posted on 05/04/2015 2:14:37 AM PDT by unlearner

GARLAND, Texas – An officer who was part of the heavy security for a free-speech event called the “Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest” featuring Dutch politician Geert Wilders was shot outside the building shortly after the event ended at approximately 7 p.m. Central Time.

Two suspects, who got out of their car and started shooting, were shot and killed by police. The injured officer, with the Garland Independent School District, was shot in the lower leg. Identified as Bruce Joiner, his injuries were not life threatening, and he was released from the hospital.

A SWAT officer told WND two suspects were “down,” but law-enforcement officers put a perimeter around them, fearing they may have had explosive devices in their car. Police helicopters continued to patrol as a Plano Police Department bomb squad worked on the scene, and a perimeter around the entire complex was still in place four hours after the incident.

Surrounding businesses, including a Walmart and an Academy store, were evacuated.

"Wilders told the Texas crowd he doesn’t hate Muslims but believes Islam is an existential threat to Western civilization and the 'Islamization' of the West, primarily through immigration, should be aggressively opposed."

Free speech still exists in Texas.

There’s no reason to “hate” Muslims. Billions of humans are Muslim by virtue of being there.

People need to understand that Islam is about conquest by any means necessary.

Islam began by virtue of the blade. It’s a war plan.

“islam”, aka Mohammedanism, as it has been known and taught for centuries beofre ‘newspeak’, now, beyond 9/11, beyond the bastard of Ft. Hood, asserts it’s collective anti-free-speech, in the very country where free speech USED to be held sacred, to the death.

It’s time to ship all these Mohammedans back, since they do not assimilate, but instead, segregate, and demand their ‘specialness’ coddled.

Set up these ‘contests’ everywhere. It’s bait, decoys, Tink’s......wait for the ach-meds to attack the place then send them to their 72 virgins.

Well, now that ISIS has actively begun operations on American soil, shall we treat the muslims like we did the Japs in WW2, but with travel papers instead of enforced segregation? We don’t need the latter, it would cost too much money, although a plane ticket out would be less pricey than funding their lifetime on the public’s dole. After all, you can’t tell the fighters from the civilians as the bomb-throwers don’t wear uniforms—we were in a couple dustups that had the same problem back in the day.

There are literally hundreds of these cells harboring killers and mass murderers throughout the country. Training centers are based in every major mosque and the enemy is free Americans. This is a disease infecting western civilization and the civilized world in general and the maggot in the White House is their ally.

I love reading all the comments from Libs in the news about we should ‘respect’ their beliefs. I do not see the same ‘respect’ when it comes to Christians and their beliefs regarding abortion or same sex marriage.
