Mohammed cartoon contest

Anyone else see this? Kinda laughable, my immediate thought it's some kind of set-up. I think everyone knows some Islamist nut is going to come out of the woodwork and try and shoot people or blow it up. Crazy.


"By Mike Stone and Lisa Maria Garza
GARLAND, Texas (Reuters) - Police and FBI on Monday searched the Arizona apartment of one of two gunmen shot dead on Sunday after they allegedly opened fire with assault rifles outside a Texas exhibit of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad.
"..Police in Garland, Texas, said they had planned security for months around the controversial exhibit and contest, and that a bomb squad, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a SWAT team and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were all in place on Sunday night in case of any incidents..."

Maybe we could have our own little religious drawing contest right here at LVA. We can have categories for Mohammed, Jesus, Buddha, God and Sheep.
A good night for the 1st and 2nd amendment! The 2 attackers weren't too sharp. A quick google search would have given them the info that 40 police officers would be providing security for the event.
Even though he was outgunned this one cop seemed to have saved the day

Texas traffic cop saved untold lives Sunday night when he took down two heavily armed men bent on storming a building where a 'Draw the Prophet' Muhammad contest was taking place, killing both before they could make their way inside.

Harn said the two suspects, believed to have driven some 1,100 miles from Phoenix to invade the contest at a suburban Dallas venue, shot assault rifles outside

What about the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Have you not been Touched By His Noodly Appendage?
Hell, I'm too paranoid to open the link.

Which is exactly the aim of such groups.
If they can't kill us, at least paralyze us, inconvenience us to the max.
Apparently this was the $12,500 winning drawing:

Hmmm. Maybe once. But I was pretty drunk. It might have been a sheep.
