No. Talking of provocation, you believe that the action of an anti-Muslim group which puts on a public event where participants draw pictures of Mohammed is provocative?
I disagree - they deliberately offended and provoked the entire Muslim world, and they knew it.

The "entire Muslim world" can go pound sand, at least here in the US.
Actually the attackers were shot by police who was present. I don't see how this incident can be used either way in the discussion on the right to bear arms.
At least you don't pretend to hide your hatred of all American Muslims I guess.

Being offended is not a call to violence. No freedom should be trampled to oblige one group of people.Although something like this inevitable knowing the nature of extremist , I think they did extremely well with only the casualties being those who would commit terrible acts. It does show that American citizens will not be pushed around.
I dunno. The one I served with in the navy was seriously smart. Great guy too.
You've only known one Muslim?
It also shows how ignorant and pathetic part of the American population is, that they actually held such an even in the first place. This event was nothing but a provocation pure and simple. The people involved are known racists and extremists and are no better than the radicals of Islam or Christianity and wanted a reaction of some kind. I bet if there was no reaction their next step would be to burn the Koran in public.... just to piss off people around the world.
And no it does not excuse violence against these morons... both sides are idiots and frankly should be fully ignored as we cant throw them in jail or on an island where they can beat each other to death.

possibly but you don't have to be conservative to despise Islam
hell you don't even have to despise Islam to draw Mohamed
and I guess I should add you don't have to despise Islam to be a non Muslim conservative

And thats their right. The "entire Muslim world" can go pound sand, at least here in the US. Perhaps things are seen differently in west sussex but thats not my problem.
I think you're missing the point, or I am... seem he was saying that our extreme conservatives (whose values are actually pretty damned close to the extreme Islamists) are into killing each other. We take armies and drones to kill them, they endeavor to kill ours through more individual means, but they are all out to kill each, the extreme religious right wing Christians, and the extreme religious right wing Muslims.
No man is an island. Dialogue is the way forward.
Two shot dead outside Muhammad Art Exhibit in Garland
This was at a facility in Garland, Texas, near Dallas.
I gather this was an exhibit of artwork that depicts Muhammad, a la Charlie Hebdo, in defiance of radical Muslims and in affirmation of freedom of speech.
Two guys drove up armed with guns and explosives, opened fire, and were killed straight away by return fire.
It's a bad idea to go gunning for any group of Texans without a lot of firepower.
The word is "tenet" FYILook at our resident America hater who does not understand the tenant of free speech.

Respect is a two way street and, thanks to Charlie Hebdo and this stupid stunt, the entire Muslim world knows more than ever that their religion is not respected by a good portion of Westerners.I dont hate anyone-but if they are Americans they will respect the rights, natural or otherwise of this nation.
It might be hard for our forumites from the UK or commonwealth nations to grasp this, but you know what they say about pounding sand.
