The off color depiction of religous figues in art has generated controversy not murders or attempted murders.

To suddenly get religion about Islam is inconsistent with how desecrating religious figures representing Christianity have been handled by the media.

While disrespectful to Christians,it has become generally something that has to be tolerated.
Along comes Islam and the same people who blow off the outrage of christians when it comes to "art expression' are now essentially backing off and so enabling the idea that murder is the appropriate response to insulting Isalm.

Bet you think all bikers are like the show Sons of Anarchy I am amazed how people actually think ALL bikers are low life......how does a doctor or lawyer become a low life?

This is true and they mistreat women.......but like Muslims, not ALL of them are bad people.

Still, it's all good, at least they are out there riding and I'll still wave whenever I see them.
My husband polishes and takes his bike down dirt roads......rain, no problem for him and his brother that's when they love to ride, me not so much!

I do believe credit card bikers (elite) are what you are seeing, some HD guys are serious bike builders and riders......I know I am married to one!

Wrong, MLK wanted to bring people together and was a pacifist, these guys would fight in a second.

I actually agree with the drawing, if this is what they want to do, but to protest in front of the Mosque in this way is not the correct approach. Then again, Muslims wanting to build next to the Twin Towers was not the correct move either.

I just saw the organizer on the news, he wants to bring out the truth about Islam. He's an ex marine and a real rocket scientist, thank you for your service.

His truth is printed on the tee shirts he's peddling. "F#** Islam". If that isn't walking up to your enemy and P!$$!ng on his shoes, I don't know what is. In front of the Enemy's place of worship, none the less. He's claiming all Islam is evil, not just the extremists. Wants to start a war with 1.4 billion people and start it in Phoenix. If that don't work, he'll be in your town next.

It'll be the "traveling Jon Ritzheimer F**k Islam Poker ride and Barbeque". Music by the "Satans". Contest later to see whose vest patch matches the Hell's Angels the most without getting the S#!t beat out of them by a real Hell's Angel.
