Hundreds expected outside Phoenix mosque at Mohammed cartoon contest

More Islamaphobia.

Islam is the religion of peace not hate.

Profound.

Here's your thought for the day. Supporting a cartoon contest outside a mosque with the deliberate intent to provoke and offend muslims puts you in the same league as the westboro baptist church protesting the funerals of dead US soldiers.

Plenty of people disagreed with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan yet you dont see them clamouring to abuse service personnel and their families. Its only extremists who do that sort of thing.

Total FAIL!

The organizers of the event were not Muslims.

Profound.

Jesus always taught to provoke and antagonize. You didn't know that?

Well, that won't win the competition !

I am not a fan of what tends to happen when Islam is a dominate religion in an area.

Having said that when I watch the video.. It is very embarrassing and sad to see people from my country intimidating a group of people doing something they have every right to do. They are creating the very hate they will be protesting later.

Obviously a cartoon competition is a comparable activity.

That protesting ended when the Kenyan was elected .

To be fair not in total.

But certainly the usual suspects toned it down big time.

Wonder why?

And what about Gitmo?

As always, you are ill informed.

I don't know why you would think that it wouldn't be, since the intent behind both is broadly the same.

That protesting ended when the Kenyan was elected .

It's strange that you think in such a partisan way, as if there has been some massive paradigm shift in public thinking simply because of a change of staff in the white house.

It's delusional to think this way.

Yes they are.

There is no comparison in intent

As far as the noise levels well Obama was the saviour, change etc, why would you protest against that?

There is indeed a comparison of intent. You just don't want to admit it. Not my problem.

Todays paint by number kits are so much better than those sold in years past. There is a lot more creativity and personal expression, which can be shown in the paint by number muhammed drawing. All are suitable for framing and allow for various updates according to the days news headlines. Get one today!!

[LibCampFireClub 635]

The Norman Rockwell aka muhammed drawing himself painting is especially fun and gay. It's sure to add loads of conversation to your next block party!

What an embarrassment for the Marines!

Bet he has a dodgy record /discharge...

Good thing we have gung ho ex marines arranging a cartoon competition outside a mosque. After all, there's a serious point to be made here and we need amateur cartoonists to make it.

While I think the premise of the event is idiotic I wonder what being a former Marine has to do with any of it. Just like the acts of radical Islam do not indict an entire religion why would the actions of this guy embarrass or blow back on the Marine Corps?

It's like the thought that conservative pedophiles are somehow worse than liberal ones. Makes no sense in my pea sized brain.
