Breitbart: Shots Fired, One Officer Down and Two Suspects in Gunfight at Islamic Cartoon Contest in Texas
Update: ISIS connection?
Of course Huffington Post apologists just call it shameless Muslim baiting (funny I don't recall the left saying that over countless "art" projects involving Christian symbols).
Pam Geller is safe and recognizes this is war
Mark Steyn: Patriots and Panderers
The shooting outside our free speech event shows once again that moderate Muslims are unable or unwilling to rein in their violent brethren

As Instapundit, Noah Rothman, AoSHQ, and Vodka Pundit note: There is an implication that Pam Geller had this coming. The leftist and establishment media blaming Geller and the event organizers is complete and utter appeasement bullshit.
Instapundit: One does not simply "shoot up" a Texas art show and Kevin Williamson, What didn't happen next…
Free speech, no qualifiers
Drew at AoSHQ is right, spare us your throat clearing
Charlie Hebdo survivors say no comparison with Texas free speech (I get the distinction that Charlie Hebdo was anti religion in general and Pam Geller is anti Islam--to the extent Islam is not tolerant of dissent, but these remaining Charlie Hebdo survivors, while entitled to their opinion, are wrong. There is a free speech element to both situations and Islamists who cannot tolerate such free speech.).
Puffington doesn't seem to understand the Moslems could have shown a little restraint.
ReplyDeleteAh, the soft bigotry of low expectations.
So, didn't our POTUS make it clear before the UN that the future should not belong to those who draw Mohammed? How long before he extrapolates that to Texas law enforcement?

DeleteFTR, I'm not cheerleading Pam Geller. Just trying to connect dots to predict future events. But actually, who cares what Obama thinks. I want to know what the future POTUS thinks.
ReplyDeletePam Geller showed the assault that is radical Islam on Western free speech. The two are not compatible. Either Islam becomes more tolerant or we in the West bow down in submission. The latter approach is a bad mistake.
DeleteHow the hell did these guys sneak into the country is the question the MSM should be asking out loud.
