Here Are the Most Staggering Images of Gun-Toting Men Outside a Texas Mosque

In Irving, Texas — the same town where 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested and interrogated for bringing a homemade clock to school — a dozen heavily armed protesters clad in camouflage stood outside the Islamic Center of Irving on Saturday.

The group toted rifles, American flags and signs that said they were the "solution to Islamic terrorism" outside the center.

"It's a boiling pot. The top on this kettle is on really, really tight, and it is going to blow," one of the demonstrators told Fox 4 News. "I may look like their version of a racist, but I'm not. ... I just don't want them to push their beliefs down my throat."

Group spokesman David Wright seemingly admitted that intimidating the mosque's members was part of the point, telling the Dallas Morning News the firearms were "mostly for self-defense or protection. But I'm not going to lie. We do want to show force. We're not sitting ducks."
