(CNN)Two men who opened fire outside a contest for Prophet Mohammed cartoons in a Dallas suburb were shot dead by police Sunday night, authorities said.

The men drove up to the Culwell Event Center in North Garland, got out of their car and began shooting just as the "Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest" inside was coming to an end, Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said. [...] The event was sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, which is considered an anti-Muslim group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups.

The group said it specifically picked the venue, a public school-owned facility, because it was host to a event denouncing Islamophobia in January.

This is sad that this was done with the intent to cause the exact reaction it has. Michelle Malkin called a newspaper "cowards" after blacking out the offensive art.

Well then we should totally excuse the actions of the gunmen. Poor guys, being baited like that.

My understanding is it was done to promote the peaceful exercise of free speech - the two wishing to stop that added the exclamation point that discussion of certain topics is under attack.[/quote]

No this is just more of the politically correct conservative hate speech.

[quote]For those who unfamiliar with Pamela Geller, she was in the news a few weeks ago for sponsoring an ad campaign across major U.S. cities with anti-Muslim posters saying, among other things, “Killing Jews is Worship that draws us close to Allah.”

On Sunday, she was in the news again for sponsoring a “Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest” in Garland, Tex., some 20 miles from Dallas, after which two men opened fire on a security guard before being shot and killed by police. Authorities did not immediately link the exhibit and the shootings, but Geller did, with vehemence.

But Geller had drawn national attention long before these events. In 2009, she became a leader of the movement against a mosque in Manhattan. She told the New York Times she believes the only “moderate Muslim is a secular Muslim” and that when Muslims “pray five times a day … they’re cursing Christians and Jews five times a day.”[/quote]
