Anti-islam, free speech rally

[nic34]

This is fun! Let's see if we can incite another violent wack-job....



ANTI-ISLAM, FREE SPEECH RALLY TO BE HELD AT ISLAMIC COMMUNITY CENTER THIS FRIDAY

On Friday evening, a group of self-proclaimed “patriots” will demonstrate outside of the Islamic Community Center in north Phoenix to “protect [their] Constitutional rights to freedom of speech.”


According to the event’s Facebook page, the rally “is in response to the recent attack in Texas where 2 armed terrorist, with ties to ISIS, attempted Jihad.” The group held a similar rally on May 17, which organizers say drew a crowd of about 200.

During the protest, attendees—many of whom are part of the motorcycle group, RidersUSA—will march with signs and American flags. Event organizer Jon Ritzheimer tells New Times the protest will be peaceful, and that he plans to “pull the reins in on people who want to do stupid things like throw bacon” at the center. He will also be selling black T-shirts that read “Fuck Islam.”

Ritzheimer scheduled the rally to coincide with Friday evening prayer, and is encouraging people to bring cartoon drawings of the Prophet Muhammad to enter into a contest. (The winner will be selected during the “after-party” at a nearby bar, Wild Bills.) There will be at least “two state militia groups to provide security,” but he’s still encouraging folks to bring guns “just in case our first amendment [right] comes under the much anticipated attack.”

Also at Friday’s event will be members of the group Wave of Action, which is planning a counter-protest. “After numerous reports that racist groups were organizing and attempting to intimidate others we couldn't sit by quietly,” member Murray Bookchin wrote in an email to New Times. “They are using the guise of ‘free speech’ to intimidate people who simply want to pray to god. They have openly called for open carry [of guns] as if that's not meant to intimidate. They are selling f u c k Islam shirts outside this mosque while spewing racist and intolerant rhetoric via loudspeakers. Everyone is entitled to free speech and as long as they will proclaim Islam is a devils cult we will scream this is what fascism looks like.”

Ritzheimer tells New Times that he was inspired to protest after learning that the two gunmen who opened fire outside of an event showcasing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad earlier this month in Garland, Texas were from Phoenix. (The two were subsequently shot and killed by police.) Upon hearing the news, Ritzheimer, an atheist and Marine Corps veteran, put on his black “Fuck Islam” shirt and spent seven hours waving an American flat outside of the apartment building where the two had resided.

“I received a lot of threats from Muslims. Someone told me to expect a drive-by if I stayed out there,” he says. “But people have the right to slander Islam if they want to...I’m a patriot and this is about the Constitution.”

So FYI this is the real way to continue to fight radical Islam.

Face it folks this is America, we enslaved people for a hundred years, killed off the indigenous population after stealing their land, wore white sheets to hide the bigotry underneath, lynched blacks weekly, thought separate was somehow equal, took two hundred years to pass civil rights, still think women are lesser beings by our treatment, sent American work offshore so we could shore up our greed, repealed healthcare for Americans so many times people lost count, defunded education as we built glass cathedrals to sport - we are just starting folks, may take another hundred years or more before sense becomes common.

Glad you're feeling guilty for the rest of us.

Thanks for taking one for the team.

We both know you'd feel very differently had this been some kind of anti-Christian rally. :rollseyes:

So blacks can riot and loot liquor stores but peckerwoods can't protest Islam?

I already know how that works, thanks anyway.

They need to make laws that say it's OK to make fun of all religions except Islam.

More fodder for the Islam apologists.

This post is an example of how guilt ridden white liberals think.

If they have the proper security set up this could be a good way to smoke out some lone wolf tangos. The last two lasted 15 seconds and law enforcement only had to expend two rounds.

That is a high bar to meet. :smiley:

That was really good! He is a piece of work. I started to type a different four letter word but thought better of it.

[southwest88]

I'm glad you support their right to protest.

Yah, yah. Everyone has a right to protest - that isn't @ issue. However, from a public safety POV, this situation is a potential nightmare. The mosque & its congregation will be inside, holding services. The motorcycle group (delicate phrasing there), their armed militia guards, & the counter-protesters will all be milling about outside the mosque. & there's a bar nearby.

I'd keep the protesters, their armed escort, & the counter-protesters - in two separate groups, the first two in one group, the counters in a second - & both as far removed as possible from the mosque & from each other. The press will likely be there too - & it's hard enough to keep everyone civil without alcohol, weapons & people spoiling for a rhetorical or otherwise fight.

Did the two opposing camps of protesters have to get a license or permit to protest? Did they have to file proof of insurance or a bond or something? If I were the chief of police, or the city mayor or whatever form of governance they have, I'd certainly want something to make sure all sides had some skin in the game.

[MisterVeritis]

So size really really matters to you?

LOL. I think you are compensating. I know you are a racist. And you know it too.

[zelmo1234]

I don't want to hear any crying if the morons get Mowed Down ...

Hey ... bring the family, Pets and friends ... the more racist we can take care of in one setting the better.

So do you think that we should mow down the protestors in Ferguson or Baltimore? or is that different?

[Private Pickle]

yeah, whatever

don't forget to stock up for the war on christmas

I'm not a Christian but I could see this government giving me a reason to fight alongside them...

[zelmo1234]

At the current time the left has made allies with Islam. They have a common enemy, Christianity.

Look at what the left stands for Free Love. Christians Marriage till death, Islam Stone women who commit adultery

On Gay marriage. The left let them marry and make the Christians serve them. Christians Keep marriage between one man and one women, Islam, Kill Gay people.

On women's rights. The left totally equal, Christians Traditional family roles, Islam, they are second class citizens that don't deserve an education or to even be outside with out Male family members.

So when you see the drastic difference between the left and Islam, and yet the are supporting them. It is for 2 reasons. the first being that Islam is also attacking Christians and 2 they are scared that they Muslims will kill them.

The two asshat tangos did last time. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/05/breaking-islamists-threaten-az-mohammad-cartoon-protesters-post-organizers-address-online/) They attacked that cartoon contest and were killed within 15 seconds with only 2 shots fired by the good guys.

Seems those with the biggest problem with Islam are those with the least knowledge of it. Even with all the hate, fortunately this time no one died.

I am not sure what that first part means.

At least the protest and counter protest went off well.

It appears ISIL doesn't have the juice some people thinks that it does. (http://www.dangotenews.com/news/bikers-in-the-us-plan-armed-antiislamic-protest-isis-threaten-to-attack-with-ieds)

They threatened bloody attacks. No attacks happened.

[southwest88]

Glad no one died.

Just so. Kudos to local law enforcement - they had the thankless job of separating the two sets of protesters. & no one died on their watch. There were no injuries nor arrests @ the scene. The police estimate about 500 people protesting, 250 per side - plus the congregation @ the mosque.
