[951-Riverside]

My god, what is this world coming to?



oh wait, the armed masked men are White and the worship center they're targeting is actually a Mosque. False alarm! Sorry!

Armed protesters stalk peaceful Muslims at Texas mosque: We want to show force

A group of armed protesters who wanted to “show force” gathered outside a Texas mosque Saturday in response rumors about Syrian refugees and Sharia law.

The group, calling itself the Bureau of American Islamic Relations, stationed itself outside the Islamic Center of Irving carrying signs with messages like, “Stop the Islamization of America,” according to the Dallas Morning News. A video taken at the mosque shows a man dressed in black with his face masked carrying a rifle.

The group’s leader told the News they were upset because they had heard rumors of a Sharia court at the mosque and the prospect of letting Syrian refugees in. They also claimed members of the local Muslim community had made death threats against Irving’s mayor, Beth Van Duyne, earlier this year. The News found no evidence that this claim was true.

When asked by the News why his group was armed, organizer David Wright said the weapons were “mostly for self protection,” but then added, “But I’m not going to lie. We do want to show force. We’re not sitting ducks.”

He then added,“We don’t want people to think we’re out to kill people or shoot people. It would be ridiculous to protest Islam without defending ourselves.”

Armed protesters set up outside Islamic Center of Irving

About a dozen protestors—most carrying long guns, some masked and one with his mother—lined up outside an Irving mosque on Saturday. They had come from as far away as Hunt County to the green-domed complex. To “Stop the Islamization of America,” as the mother’s hand-drawn sign urged.

A pickup tooted on its way down Esters Road, not the first or last driver to endorse the message. Right behind the truck, a sedan pulled out of the Islamic Center of Irving lot, where afternoon prayers had just finished, and blasted Arabic music as it passed.

Two men on the sidewalk mocked the song, distorting foreign lyrics into gibberish as the car sped away. Then they huddled in the cold around their cigarettes, guns and flags, waiting for another passerby to pay attention. It was a strange protest, held at a strange time in a suburb strangely relevant to America’s brand of anti-Islamic politics.

“We tried to talk to the mosque before we did this, but they wouldn’t return our messages,” said David Wright, dressed in black all the way from his backwards baseball cap to the barrel of his tactical shotgun. “So here we are.”

Funny, when whites do this they're called PROTESTERS by multiple news outlets but if a bunch of heavily armed Muslim men showed up to a church and did this they'd be called deceased, dead, worm food, cadavers, napoleon blownapart, organ donors and TERRORISTS.

1. Cowards who flaunt their guns yet hide their faces....

[3catwoman3]

31. Might as well be a...

...pointy white hood instead of a bandana.

[bvar22]

72. My thoughts exactly!

This is very embarrassing for our country, and for Texas,
and actually makes attacks more likely,
not less so.

THIS is what Bin Laden WANTED....
to bankrupt the USA through the very predictable over reaction,
and to Show the World how "free" the USA really is.

Congratulations Bin Laden.
You WON!!!!

There.
Now lets get the US Military and all "Armed Private Contractors" OUT of the Middle East.
That won't solve our problems, but would be a great 1st Step.

[SusanCalvin]

2. White privilege.

I'm white, and I'm sick of it.

[Paka]

26. Thank you Susan.

I too am white and find it disgusting.

[cyberswede]

3. What's with the chickenshit masks?

What utter assholes.

[Kber]

23. Their hoods must be at the cleaners.

[npk]

50. LOL that made me laugh

Because it's probably true.

[spanone]

4. looks like one of the idjits is carrying a ted cruz sign....oh the humanity

teddy boy

[Lars39]

8. He looks like a Punch and Judy puppet.

Gah

[bvf]

27. I was thinking

Luck and Flaw, of Spitting Image fame.

Either way, retch-inducing.

[TeeYiYi]

33. Or Madame...

TYY

[Nay]

69. Holy shit, Cruz does look like Madame. No wonder he creeps me out. nt

[3catwoman3]

74. Oh, jeez, he really does.

He has the compassion of a puppet, too. How fitting.

[SammyWinstonJack]

60. LOL!

He resemble a troll.

Somewhere, a bridge is missing it's troll.

[Eleanors38]

78. Looks like a barking spider.

[SusanCalvin]

9. I hate that man.

I've decided he's not as stupid as he seems but is posturing for manipulation and personal gain. Makes me hate him more.

[bvf]

32. Almost none of them

are really stupid. A few are (one bubble-headed, inarticulate, gap-toothed cretin in the House comes to mind, but his name escapes me at the moment).

Opportunists playing (at what they take to be a safe distance) near the edges of major social upheaval, sure. But not stupid.

[SusanCalvin]

36. Yep.

But it ain't a safe distance. Playing close to the edge. So I guess they really are idiots.

[bvf]

42. Here's hoping you're right!

And I agree with your comment downthread about "interesting times." Well said.

[SusanCalvin]

46. I was not clear enough.

I don't think they're close to the edge of getting tossed out on their asses, unfortunately. Too many idiot voters and too much gerrymandering and voter suppression.

I think they're close to the edge of sinking civilization.

[bvf]

53. And here I was getting my hopes up.

Right again, though.

I only wish these assholes were someday confronted directly with the havoc they're responsible for, and forced to live in the midst of it.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read of celebrations that Limbaugh (for instance) is losing sponsors and airtime. Nothing but seeing him living broke and in an alley would do it for me. Same goes for all the pundits and pols that that whole mindset has brought into being.

Not capable of much else, but I can dream.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. That photo needs some sound:

[spanone]

21. that's absolutely perfect!!! thanks

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

5. UGH. What a bunch of yahoos.

Make that stupid, quite possibly dangerous, yahoos.

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. This is terrorism.

[lumberjack_jeff]

7. Yes. Exactly. n/t

[exboyfil]

10. How is this not brandishing

They have their hands on their weapons?

Which brings an interesting point. A large group dressed like this could walk all the way to the property line of any large assembly area and be totally within their rights.

[Douglas Carpenter]

11. this stuff is sounding more and more like 1930's Europe all the time

[SusanCalvin]

38. Yes it is.

God, I hate living in interesting times.

[TIME TO PANIC]

12. I wonder how many of them are off duty police?

[TIME TO PANIC]

14. Not to be disrespectful of all police.

[bvar22]

75. That would be a good reason to wear a mask.

[Rex]

13. Small minded people must assault the attention of others to feel big and important.

"Look at me I can carry a gun around and look scary." "Look at me, aren't I mencing? Don't you wish you could be me?"

"Watch me walk around with my gun and my pretend military uniform...I didn't make it through basic training."

What a bunch of losers! The world is full of losers...and those are some of the biggest I've ever seen!

[keithbvadu2]

15. Hand them an elistment form for the military.

Think there will be a stampede to the recruiting office?

[catchnrelease]

43. ^^^^THIS!!^^^^

[cpwm17]

16. The anti Muslim industry is very effective.

It's been around for decades. Things are getting progressively worse.

They have succeeded in starting aggressive wars with predictable results. Now they can look at the disaster that they've created in much of the Muslim world and gloat. Now they have more excuses to start more war$.

[brewens]

17. So the one guys mommy got him out of her basement to do something worthwhile

(in her eyes) for change? That's freakin' impressive! LOL

[restorefreedom]

76. you beat me to it! nt

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Texas...

[SusanCalvin]

39. Not all of us. nt

[Blue_In_AK]

57. Oh, I know.

My husband is Texan, and I lived down there myself from 1962-68. It's kind of funny - my Texas FB friends, old high school acquaintances, are really cool, but my husband's high school friends are a bunch of reactionary assholes. I guess the class of '64 (mine) was just better than the class of '67 (his). LOL.

[2naSalit]

20. And

they are wearing steel toed boots, ready to do some kickin'.

[uppityperson]

22. Call the cops, report this terrorism act

[cui bono]

24. This is fucking ridiculous and shows why we need stricter gun laws. Fuck open carry.

Fuck gun nutters. There are too many yahoos like this and this is what they will continue doing more and more with these stupid fucking open carry laws.

This is NOT what I want my country to look like. Fuck this.

[riversedge]

64. Prosters with guns. Whow. this is something new. We know of the 'patriot guards' who

set up to guard recruitment centers in cities--but this is different and ugly. And open carry allows this activity damn

[Jack Rabbit]

25. They support Ted Cruz, I see

They're terrorists.

If they supported t. Rump, we could call them Gestapo instead.

[riderinthestorm]

28. Absolutely despicable . DESPICABLE !!!

SMH

Sometimes I think we're lost as a nation

[PatrickforO]

29. Let's call them what they are.

Fanatical Christian jihadists.

[SusanCalvin]

40. Exactly.

Unfortunately, that will never get any traction.

[PatrickforO]

45. LOL. No but it rolls off the tongue nicely,

don't you think?

[SusanCalvin]

47. It does, and it's the truth. nt

[cantbeserious]

30. IMHO - Texas Has Become Home To The Timid And The Land Of The Depraved

eom

[3catwoman3]

34. “We don’t want people to think we’re out to kill people or shoot people."

Gee, you're walking around flaunting a gun. WhyEVER would I think you might want to kill or shoot people?

[glinda]

35. Where is our Government?

[SunSeeker]

37. Fucking cowards.

Too scared to join the armed services and fight ISIS, they instead choose to play dress-up and terrorize innocent civilians. Ass wipes should be in jail.

[DebJ]

41. or get their meds adjusted. n/t

[DebJ]

44. OMG. This is just like the KKK, isn't it? American Terrorists, Fascists, Paranoids in need of meds

What's the difference between this behavior, and that of the KKK showing up in front of a black church with nooses
in hand and burning crosses?

That one guy even covered his face.

[DebJ]

49. And as American as Westboro Baptist Church

[Doc_Technical]

48. Outlaw civilian ownership and possession of semi- automatic weapons.

[ManiacJoe]

54. What goal would you be hoping to achieve?

[Hoyt]

58. For one thing, it would cool down the gun market. second it might emasculate

some gun fanciers, who are more often than not bigots and intimidators, in some cases sickos. I think that would help our society.

[Judi Lynn]

62. It would also make our society much cleaner, and the air smell better.

These moral perverts degrade and drag down the whole world.

[Hoyt]

65. Exactly. Gun pollution is real.

[951-Riverside]

71. +1

[Live and Learn]

51. Good friggen gawd! What a disgusting bunch of thugs. nt

[snort]

52. Gutless

[TexasTowelie]

56. I'll have to check out the pictures to see if anyone I know is there.

I used to live in Irving and know where the mosque is located. I wouldn't be surprised if someone I knew from work is present.

[prouddemfromaustin44]

59. These idiots make me physically ill

Seriously, what a bunch of cowardly, lowlife bigots. They are no better than the terrorists who carry out such terrible attacks like the ones in Paris. And to think I have to breathe the same air as these people...

[SammyWinstonJack]

61. Proud to be an American, I am not.

[pansypoo53219]

63. no hoods?

ammosexuals & their security blankets. oops, penises.

[Vinca]

66. This is shameful.

Can you imagine if a group like this assembled outside an Evangelical church? They'd be arrested for harassment and unlawful assembly. Texas. It figures.

[Scuba]

67. The hate and stupid are strong in these folks.

[etherealtruth]

68. Great .... a paranoid, delusional, "not-so-bright" hatefilled idiots with guns

Just exercising their 2nd amendments right to terrorize

[treestar]

70. "Islamization of America"

[Faux pas]

73. K N R

[restorefreedom]

77. this is not a double standard at all.....

its all out fucking insanity.
