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'

Instead of anti-Jewish and anti-Black, these fucks are anti-Arabic, anti-Islam.

Same hatred, different group to hate.

These people are terrorists and should be treated as such.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

...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.

"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.

"Still think they need to be defended by you? "

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.
