From Raw Story:
CNN host Anderson Cooper pushed the ex-Marine Corps member on Thursday who organized what he insists is a non-violent protest at a Phoenix mosque supporting freedom of speech.
You dont think bringing guns to a mosque while families are praying inside, wearing t-shirts that say F Islam and shouting whatever it is youre going to shot at them, as they come and as they go you dont think thats promoting violence at all? Cooper asked Jon Ritzheimer, who has promoted the event by announcing a Draw Muhammed contest, which would violate Islamic teachings banning depictions of the Muslim prophet.
<snip>
Ritzheimer, who has also promised to sell shirts saying F*ck Islam and encouraged attendees to bring firearms, scoffed at the criticism surrounding the rally, telling Cooper that some would probably argue that the signers of the Declaration of Independence was a bad idea back in their day.
So youre comparing yourself to the signers of the Declaration of Independence? Cooper asked.

Mocking religion is bad business, you are asking for it, sorry.
It really calls upon the principles of peace to ignore such bullies. I hope the Goddess of Everything will bless them with the patience and tolerance, that these people who taunt them, are lacking. This is so unchristlike it's revolting. There should be a law against provocation when you are carrying a weapon. It's the same as brandishing your weapon. And it's unseemly and should be unlawful. They are going down there to threaten and harass people practicing freedom of religion. There ought to be a fucking law!
