Another Anti-islam Protest w/Muhammed Cartoons
As much as I'm all for the First Amendment, I'm a bit divided as to these anti-islam cartoon contests. Tonight, in N. Phoenix, a former marine is organizing a protest outside the same islamic center the two terrorists who were killed in Texas last month frequented. The protest is in response to that failed attack. The organizer also said there would be a muhammed cartoon contest and urged participants to the protest to exercise their Second Amendment rights (IE bring guns) in case their First Amendment rights were attacked.
A Twitter acct allegedly ran by isis has warned it will attack the event. It also posted the home address of the organizer. They'll fail again if they try to attack the event. AZ still has the wild, wild west blood in it and I guarantee you the protestors will be armed to the teeth. I see people open carrying all the time everywhere I go, just in day to day life.
I'm hoping nothing will happen, but the protest is smack dab in the middle of the evening prayers and right outside the islamic center, so it's very likely there could be violence.
