Arizona Man Plans ‘Draw Muhammad’ Contest At Mosque Attended By Shooters (GD POST)

[Capt. Obvious]

GENERAL DISCUSSION POST

A man from the Phoenix area reportedly plans to hold a rally and “draw Muhammad” cartoon contest on Friday outside the mosque that the two Garland, Texas gunmen and alleged Islamic State sympathizers attended.

....

Ritzheimer held an anti-Islam protest two weeks ago before deciding to host this event, according to KPNX.

Ritzheimer defended his event and T-shirts that would be worn by some in attendance which said “F— Islam,” the station reported.

“I’m a Marine and I am far from politically correct,” Ritzheimer said. “I’m outspoken and I’ve just had it.”

Ritzheimer, who, according to KPNX, is an atheist, said he hopes to push “out the truth about Islam.”

....

In the Facebook description of the “PEACEFUL protest,” attendees were encouraged to use their “second amendment right at this event just incase (sic) our first amendment comes under the much anticipated attack.”

Some days it's embarrassing to live in AZ.

4. How pointless to go on "anti-Muslim" protests

If you're not a Muslim, you don't have to be one.

8. "I'm not politically correct" is the poor man's way of stating

"I'm not politically correct" is the poor man's way of stating, "I have no class, few brains, little education, and am, for all intents and purposes far too sub-literate to express myself except through vulgarity..."

14. when people bemoan so-called political correctness..

what I hear is "It's too much of a burden for me to not be a total dick."

9. "Religious Freedom . . . as long as it's MY religion, libs!!"

Absolutely amazing.

20. An atheist who just happens to give a shit about other religions.

Strange, that.

[cyberswede]

10. "attendees were encouraged to use their 'second amendment right at this event..."

good grief.

[MineralMan]

11. What could go wrong? It's a "peaceful" event.

I'd have at least as many police at this as there were protesters. They'd have strict instructions about arresting anyone who pulled a weapon during the protest. On the ground and under arrest.

[Paladin]

12. "much anticipated attack"

I think that's all I need to hear about Mr. Ritzheimer.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

13. Dude is too stupid to realize that the very same 1st Amendment he plans to defend with his

2nd Amendment rights gives people the right to observe whatever religion they want to, including Islam.

Stupid fucker.

[Zenlitened]

15. So, if I showed up and, say, tore up an American flag...

...he'd be totally cool with that, right?

Draw Mohammed, desecrate a flag... it's all the same, right?

Just a symbol, I can do whatever I want. Right?

Sure.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. How original.

I don't think anyone's ever thought of this method of bait for crazies.

[lonestarnot]

17. So what happened? Bikers paint the fence or anything?

[moondust]

It has the most people?

If these crazy people sticking fingers in the eyes of the Moslems don't stop, sometime in the future, world history will say, "Right here, there used to be a country full of crazy people.. It was called the United States."

22. "not politically correct" these days means...

..."I'm a bigot and asshole pretending that loudly being a bigot and asshole is somehow resisting some kinda oppression".

Think of it as a virtual hood.
