What's even worse, the organizers are saying to bring guns and shoot people if things get out of hand.

"Recently the mosques here in Phoenix actually received threatening letters -- very specific threats, saying that we are going to massacre your congregations," he said.

Ritzheimer anticipates possible problems because of the rally and says people should bring their guns.

"People are also encouraged to utilize (their) second amendment right at this event just (in case) our first amendment comes under the much anticipated attack," the event's Facebook page says.

They want something to happen so they can kill Muslims...

“Our enemy doesn’t follow the great traditions of Islam. They’ve hijacked a great religion.”

“The terrorists are traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.”

“There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know — that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion.”

CNN covered it, bearing in mind what had happened at the last Cartoon Competition was where the gun comment came from.

CNN covered it, bearing in mind what had happened at the last Cartoon Competition was where the gun comment came from.

With 900 people attending and a FB page dedicated to this event, it wouldn't matter, the word is out. They want folks to know what they're doing.

Of course, seemingly a lot of free publicity, the CNN thing was a few minutes and will no doubt be repeated.

Phoenix (CNN)Jon Ritzheimer is a former Marine, and he has no middle ground when it comes to Islam.

His T-shirt pretty much says it all: "F--- Islam."

Ritzheimer is the organizer of Friday's "Freedom of Speech Rally" outside the Islamic Community Center in Phoenix.

It's the mosque that Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi attended for a time. They're the men who drove from Arizona to a Dallas suburb to shoot up a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest there. Both were killed by police early this month.

Many Muslims consider demeaning depictions of Mohammed to be blasphemous and banned by Islamic law. The rally

"This is in response to the recent attack in Texas where 2 armed terrorist(s), with ties to ISIS, attempted Jihad," the event's Facebook page said.

Some 600 people say they're attending.

It's scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m., about the time evening prayers are taking place inside the center. The rally also features its own cartoon contest, similar to the one targeted in Texas.

"I think the whole thing, the cartoon contest especially, I think it's stupid and ridiculous," Ritzheimer said, "but it's what needs to take place in order to expose the true colors of Islam."

Its just stupid people making a stupid point. Free speech indeed.

Guess none of these morons learned any manners growing up.

PM Erdogan: The Term “Moderate Islam” Is Ugly And Offensive; There Is No Moderate Islam; Islam Is Islam

Speaking at Kanal D TV’s Arena program, PM Erdogan commented on the term “moderate Islam”, often used in the West to describe AKP and said, ‘These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”

And in your mind that proves what, lost? Let's hear it.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

maybe it will draw in the radical terrorists, like hunting birds on a baited field

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Pretty much the same thing. They're trying to provoke a reaction to prove their point. You don't get to smack someone in the mouth and then complain they're violent when you get dealt with.

but no one is smacking them in the mouth. That would be assault and you would have a right to defend yourself, that is the reason GZ walked free and the cop that took out M Brown was not charged.

You are dangerously close to saying these people need to be dealt by violence

You are becoming more radical everyday

exactly
