GARLAND, Tex. — One of the two gunmen who were killed Sunday after opening fire at an event where people were invited to present cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad was identified on Monday by a law enforcement official as a man who had previously been labeled by the F.B.I. as a jihadist terrorism suspect.
Police officers shot and killed the man, identified as Elton Simpson of Phoenix, and his companion Sunday evening, outside the Curtis Culwell Center, at an event organized by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, a New York-based group that also uses the name Stop Islamization of America. The gunfire, which began shortly before 7 p.m., left a security guard wounded.
In 2010, federal prosecutors in Arizona charged Mr. Simpson with plotting to travel to Somalia “for the purpose of engaging in violent jihad,” and then lying to a federal agent about his plans. A judge found him guilty of lying to the agent, but said the government had not proved that his plan involved terrorism, and sentenced him to three years’ probation.

Unequivocally yes. The very existence of Christians is Anti-Islam as far as Muslims, the NY Times and our own President are concerned.
Ms. Geller described Sunday’s event as pro-free speech, and said that Muslims had become a “special class” that Americans were no longer allowed to offend.
Nope, nothing to see here. I didn’t click on the link, did NYT actually say ‘anti-islam event’?
Makes you wonder how many TRUE sleeper cells are here inside and learning from these wannabe amateurs.

Your artwork *ALWAYS* makes me laugh!
Good work!
So the NYT thinks that cartoons are “anti-islam.” And not freedom of speech. You’d think journalists would get it, but it’s been a long time since the NYT was anything but a public relations outlet.
Shew...Thank you, thought I was goin nuts for a moment.
Prison Convert? Illegal alien? Legal alien?
If Christians assaulted a group of atheists who were holding a We Hate Jesus gathering, the Slimes would be quick in condemning the Christians and calling for crackdowns on other Christian groups. They’d be hollering about freedom of speech and the right to offend. Hypocrites.
If you're anti-tyranny, anti-abortion, anti-gungrabbers and anti-sodomy, you're by definition also anti-islam. There is no middle ground, you're either pro-islam or anti-islam. It's clear that the world would be a far better place with every trace of islam totally eradicated.
Voltaire: “To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
islam = satan’s death cult
allah = satan
Pedophile moohammud = satan’s follower
Mission Accomplshed!
I love doing this stuff!

2 Thess Chapter 2
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Exactly!.... and well said!
What? The second guy (and likely wife of the first - they were mates afterall) is the 12th Imam or something?
“Wonder what’s taking so long to identify the second shooter?”
They had to strain the remains for the fingerprints...
