[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not condoning the gunmen showing up to shoot up the place, but this is the height of cultural and religous insenstivity.

Not only is there a "contest" to draw the prophet with everyone knowing full well the angst it causes among Muslims, but you have this "event" in a part of Texas that has substantial population of Somali Muslims. What did people expect to happen?  [/quote]

This is the most archaic blame the victim mentality.  "She wore a short skirt, what did she expect?"  People expect to go about their business without a nutcase wanting to shoot, rape, mug them.  Seriously, you are an idiot. The only people to blame here are the shooters, no one else.[/quote]

If you want to have a civil discussion I am all for it - but if you want to call me names because you don't agree with me - then eff you!

It is not a "blame" issue to me.  If I had to "blame" someone, of course it would be the gunmen.  But once again, that is NOT the point I was trying to make.  This was an event that was designed to provoke a reaction.  The organizer was within his/her right to hold such an event.  The event DID provoke a reaction.  My point is given what happened in France, Germany and other places in response to this type of satire, why is anyone shocked that a couple radical Muslims showed up ready to shoot the place up?

It was an insentive event to hold given current tensions - and you cannot argue that.  But the organizers were within their rights to be insensitive. [/quote]
