(55,894 posts)Members of the terrorist group even took to social media and posted the home address of Jon Ritzheimer, the anti-Islam creator of the event that had close to 500 in attendance.
ISIS member, Abu Hussain Al Brittani also mocked and threatened Ritzheimer in one tweet after the man urged attendees to bring their guns to the event, saying; 'Whats your little handguns going to do against an IED that sprays 3000+ ball bearings faster than the speed of sound? #Phoenix #AZ'

Same hatred, different group to hate.
These people are terrorists and should be treated as such.

(55,894 posts)I do understand some peaceful people are agoraphobic or do poorly in crowds or incapacitated somehow.
But we can't allow this sort of hate to flame away and add more fuel to the fire.

(61,695 posts)If it's a religious belief on either side, I don't have much hope for either group remaining reasonable. For some, acting on that belief ensures their salvation.
I don't think I can talk them out of it. I think they'll have to learn first-hand from their mistakes.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
More bigoted garbage from this troll. The people in the photograph have nothing to do with the people bring protested in the OP. Unless this is one of those "they're all the same" bullshit.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 30, 2015, 12:33 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Rank xenophobia. Maybe the most righteous Hide I've had the occasion to participate in.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Disturbing but photos like this need to be seen, not hidden.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(55,894 posts)because that's where the murderer went?
How about the grocery store where a mass-shooter shops?
Joe the Revelator
(14,915 posts)If a mass shooter went and did his shooting in the name of the grocery store that he shopped at then maybe you'd have a point.
Just a terrible, terrible analogy.

(14,915 posts)...were taught there religion in this Mosque that was protested yesterday. Isis and that brand of Islam is indefensible.
The dope brigade who protested the Mosque yesterday was brought guns to a protest and screamed fire and brimstone through a microphone. That is indefensible as well.

(18,318 posts)"Still think they needed to be defended by you?"
This more than implies the person you were addressing was "defending" the killers in your photo when there is no evidence the poster was doing this. Your post should have been hidden for that. I also think you should apologize to the poster for this implication.
Further, one can always find some reprehensible criminal who's gone feral, and trace them to a Catholic, Methodist, Baptist church; a synagogue, a mosque. I haven't seen many protests at these places except where the head of the institution is on record for actively encouraging vioence and bigotry. As well, I see no evidence the mosque was doing this.

Many half-wits and sub-literate idiots perceive that criticism of the vulgar is a de-facto defense of the violent.
Not that you're half-witted by any stretch of the imagination. Indeed, your inaccurate grasp of simple grammar structure illustrates you're full of wit.
