A recipe for disaster

Nothing like instigating trouble.

Besides, this is not even an original idea. Effing brainless copycats.

The organizers of the event told people to be sure to bring weapons. They want something bad to happen so they can blame Muslims and the ignorant among us will believe that.

Isn't inciting violence against the law???

The same moron, Pamela Geller, who sponsored the contest in Garland, Texas now wants to put the winning poster on DC's Metro trains and buses.

Neat. An armed group of Islam-haters is going to gather in front of an occupied Mosque to insult and taunt the congregation. What could possibly go wrong with that?

There does come a point where 'free speech' has to yield a bit.

I'm also suddenly seeing an upside to the police having a bunch of armored vehicles.

They can claim free speech all they want but freedoms come with responsibilities ..... They don't seem to get that part.

Wow, just wow. And the people who instigated these brain dead idiots got nothing to say like McCain did to that lady when he was running. ISIS does have access to Assad's Serin and Mustard gas supplies.....
