"An armed biker gang. Cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed. A mosque in Arizona. What could possibly go wrong?
We’ll find out Friday, when two organizers — Jon Ritzheimer and Flash Nelson — host what’s being billed as a peaceful demonstration outside the Islamic Community Center in Phoenix. It’s the former site of worship for Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, who were killed after opening fire outside a May 3 contest featuring cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in suburban Dallas. Simpson had no direct link to the Islamic State but was sympathetic to its cause. Many Muslims consider depictions of Mohammed blasphemous..."
Ritzheimer interviewed by Anderson Cooper who is all in a dither about this planned demonstration. Interesting how Libs are so concerned about 1st Amendment issues and offending the religious sensibilities of the Muzzies given they haven't shown the same solicitude when it comes to the homosexual assault on Christian businesses.

This statement was found on the web regarding this Phoenix Biker Cartoon event.
"Evidently the organizers, who want to silence Muslim voices, see no irony in calling this a "Freedom of Speech Rally."
What makes a lib a lib? It really is hard to figure out. These people completely misunderstand what's being sacrificed when the Muslims are able to intimidate the rest of the world to cow-tow to their religious scruples!
Why don't the virulent libs want to offend the Muslims like they love to do to the Christians?
The liberals don't want to silence the Muslim voice? And why not? I REALLY wish a lib would explain that little inconsistency to me.
If Islam isn't antithetical to a liberal's social beliefs then neither is conservative Christianity.
But the anti-Christian hatred and hypocrisy from the Left dumbfounds me! They're certainly not asking any Muslim bakeries to bake a gay wedding cake, are they! Would we like to know shy the silence here?

Where does CNN find these idiots? By Deborah C. Tyler, May 31, 2015
On Friday May 29, CNN's New Day show featured Chris Cuomo bloviating about a draw Mohammed free speech gathering in Arizona. He said the contest was not a freedom issue, because the right to free speech is certain, but rather a moral issue. He likened the contest to the use of the N-word.
In fact, use of that word is selectively defined as hate speech. And moral or not, under those laws, it is illegal. Cuomo and Pamela Geller got into shouting match over that analogy. Cuomo went on to opine that the other real problem with the event, in addition to its immorality, was that there is not enough gun control, because a Marine had advised people to bring their guns.
Mr. Cuomo forgot that it was a citizen bearing a legal gun who prevented a massacre in Geller's draw Mohammed contest just a few weeks ago!
Cuomo thinks it is immoral, in itself, to use free speech that offends a differing opinion. But most astonishing was his assertion that "[t]he First and Second Amendments weren't put together to defend each other, that's for sure." Does Cuomo really not see the significance of the sequence of these amendments – the enumeration of rights followed by the right to bear arms to protect them? Can he really believe that the First and Second Amendments are not related?
