A rally is planned for this Friday at the Arizona Mosque that seemingly mocks the prophet Mohammed. To make the matters worse, many of the participants are going to be armed.
This movement is a blatant illustration of the defense of 1st Amendment right, and should this right be violated, armed confrontations in defense of 2nd Amendment are to be anticipated.
One of its organizers is a former Marine Jon Ritzheimer who got slammed by Anderson Cooper on CNN. He was unable to stay consistent with his responses and in logical defense for the rally, all while putting his family in jeopardy (saying that he's in the process of relocating due to many threats from Muslims and non-Muslims alike).
What about you, do you agree with hosting such rally? Would you attend if you had an opportunity? Why or why not?
My personal take on this matter. This obviously seems to be a religion-sparked rally, therefore I'd go with my 'religion' of Christianity and why I oppose of this rally. I do NOT oppose of it for the fear of having my family persecuted, but of what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 8.
The chapter outlines practices that would cause a non-believer (or a new-believer in Christ) to stumble. Such habits (whether eating certain foods or conducting other seemingly harmless practices) should not be exercised around such individuals so as not to spite them (causing ungodly struggles).
So logically being at the Mosque and mocking Muhammad with the anticipation of armed resistance would probably not bring much credit to Christianity or American lifestyle, wouldn't you agree? Your turn.

Just an event begging for trouble (from religious fanatics or the police, or both) with no winners

Totaly agree! This is the kind of junk that cause people that don't practice a faith to just shake there heads! I believe I. Convictions but what do you hope to accomplish with this?

Personally, I think that they are just looking to stir up some trouble, incite a little violence, and get a lot of attention.

I can think of several, albeit mostly foolish, reasons. Self promotion, a misguided attempt to draw out radicalized Muslim's in a time and place of their choosing, demonstrate they have as much of a right to publicly show their ignorance as the flag burners, remind people that in America we have freedom of speech - not freedom from speech, and that we are a country ruled by constitutional laws not by religious laws (i.e. Sharia law). What I can't come up with are any reasons why they should be prevented from doing it.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean it is smart to do, especially in my neighborhood.

Correct. Its original intention was to curb the tyrannical governmental involvement in private citizen's life. What this event does is tarnishes the American citizen's good name in the name of Constitution, so sad. Not much difference there from Westboro Baptist Church fanatics

One can exercise his/her freedoms with a dose of common sense. After all, there is a time and a place for everything.

I think that just becuase we can, doesn't mean we should. Freedom of speech often translates to, for many people and groups, "Let's bash on this other groups' beliefs because they conflict with ours."

"the rally also encourages participants to utilize their second amendment right at this event just in case our first amendment right comes under the much anticipated attack."
