What these fools at the NY Daily News either can’t or don’t want to recognize is that unless they are willing to convert and conform to the tenants of Dark Ages Islam, they will be provoking these Islamic zealots just as much as any Muhammad cartoon.

The image the MSM won't show you. (They had no problem showing Piss Christ in close, clear focus, while telling Christians to go to hell: it's art doncha know.)

Liberals trying to blame Americans for exercising their God-given rights are no different then blaming a women who was raped for dressing “provocatively.”

BTW how is defending the Islamic Terrorism here by the left not Treason? Its lending aid and comfort to the enemy...

Have there been similar editorials in response to works of art that denigrate Christianity?

Remember what we all learned in grade school?

Q: How should you deal with bullies?

A: Stand up to them.

Freedom. Use it or lose it.

It’s a sorry state of affairs in America when defending our freedom of speech is “playing with fire.”

In Muslim enclaves, they feel entirely safe taunting us.

In our enclaves, we should feel the same way.

The fact that this event was taunting hair-trigger, violent Muslims is testimony to the fact that we have too many here.

In Muslim countries, they don’t worry about an enraged Westerner of Texan blowing them away when they burn the flag or spew their hate in celebratory mobs.

Bull hockey. Anyone who didn’t want to see Mohammed cartoons was free to not attend the event. Nothing was forced on anybody. It was not provocation. Terror is what it is.

I knew what kind of article this was going to be when I read this “Prophet Muhammad” crap. This Muhammad guy is not my “prophet,” and I will not address him as such. By all historical accounts, he was a pretty unsavory killer, with a taste for little girls.

If the media actually did its job and let people know what Muslims actually believe and practice, there’d be no need for Geller’s provocative stunts to demonstrate it.

She is forcing them to have to deal with the issues they want to ignore, and they want to ignore it in large part because it shines a light on their own cowardice.

Why is everybody attacking Ms. Geller?

She is one of the few pushing back against the Islamic tide.

Leave her alone and start PROFILING...

The First Amendment applies even to irresponsible provocateurs

Here we go again from the same lefties who defended Robert Mapplethorpe and made a big-budget film about their 'hero' Larry Flynt.

How about the provocateurs like the Freedom From Religion Foundation and their paranoid letters to every small town in American with a Christmas tree or a nativity scene?

The media is playing with fire just by the way they report this. By making it sound like they “understand” why the terrorists are attacking such events, they are emboldening them to do more.

More of these cartoon competitions would act as a honey trap and draw out the muzzie crazies for quick extermination.

Texas authorities protected Geller and her followers by stepping up security and requiring a SWAT team.

Geller needs to hire a SWAT team do demonstrate a Constitutional right and she has the problem?
