You do realize ISIL thought " somebody needs to stop these thugs" in regards to the Draw Mohammed Convention, and that the bikers thought " somebody needs to stop these thugs" in regards to Islam. Just thought I would point out the irony…
How exactly do you know this.......considering thousands of people attend that mosque without any incident and out of all those people, two nutjobs decided to go on a shooting spree, which they completely failed at, the proof that this mosque is "radicalizing" people is pretty weak.
It was interesting that when the Iman of this Mosque was interviewed he was very apologetic that people who attended his peaceful Mosque would do something so sinister.
Interestingly enough he also said he warned his congregation that there was an FBI informant among his congregation, and to be careful what they said around the Informant. If his congregation was so innocent why would he warn them not to say anything around an FBI informent?
In Saudi Arabia, yes. In Syria, which currently has a civil war, probably. In Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Turkey Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, or several other Middle Eastern countries, Christians are allowed to worship freely. They may be ignored, but they aren't actively suppressed.
The Middle East is not Saudi Arabia, any more than America is rural southern FLDS Utah.
When will people learn that not all muslims are terrorists? lol
Probably the same day they learn that:
All Black people are not rioting thugs
All White people are not smug minority-hating racists
All Asian people are not smart
All Latinos are not illegal immigrant fruit pickers
Islamic terrorism in Texas, so they're going to protest an an Islamic Community Center in Phoenix?
That makes about as much as sense as responding to the Olympics terrorist bombing in Atlanta in 1996 by protesting at church somewhere in North Carolina.
Oh, well, it's a free country, and people are free to do pointless things that make themselves feel good and righteous...
It's the Mosque where the two Texas dead jihadi guys attended.
wow these bikers are beyond stupid.... It's people like this why I would never live in the southern US.....
Also just realized, doesn't this violate the first amendment as the members of the mosque will be unable to peacefully practice their religion that day...... ah the paradox....
I don't know, y'all have a pretty boisterous group of bikers there in Portland,OR do you not?
Granted the best they can do is bicycles but are "bikers" none the less...
Either you aren't that old, or you are new to this country. Or both.
Regardless, you haven't lived here long enough to "have seen it all." Live long enough in the U.S. and you just might see it all. It's all here.
I am both armed and an atheist.
I'm not flamboyant and in-your-face about my beliefs like the nut taking an AR-15 into a family restaurant for no reason other than to be shocking, nor am I the annoying atheist who complains about people praying on a courthouse lawn.
I am an armed atheist, a veteran, and a liberal. I'm also a husband, a father, a football fan, a beer drinker, and many other things. Labels are dumb. Break into my house tonight and see what a "bleeding heart" I am.
A "walking contradiction?" Only if you believe in the absurd absolutes you are sold by Limbaugh and the talking heads on Fox News.
This country does have all kinds.
I believe the post was meant more in the vein of "marauding bands of armed atheists" or "large threatening groups of armed atheists."

I fully support their freedom of speech to do so, as long as they don't start actual violence. I even support the freedom of armed radical Islamists to do that outside of a Christian church.
However, I also think it's a terrible idea to try to provoke possible armed conflict between Muslims and everyone else ...... I mean more than is currently the case.
