Mohammad cartoon contest in front of a Phoenix Mosque. What are your thoughts?

Terrorism succeeds only when it causes you to change your behavior to appease the terrorists. Too many in the world today either have forgotten this, don't understand it, or are just plain cowards. I'm not surprised that this rally is taking place in Arizona, a state populated by a lot of people who are about as non-PC as you can get and still know what liberty is as evidenced by the friendliest gun rights in the country. I wish I still lived there; as I too would be attending this rally...armed to the teeth.

I get it.. I understand what they are trying to do, but do they have to take it to a Mosque? Dare I say it, but there are probably innocent people in there that want nothing to do with those ISIS cats. Maybe say "Hey.. Terrorists.. we are going to be in the desert at these exact coordinates (address) drawing pictures of your God.. Meet us there to talk about it." That way all that want trouble (including the media) can be in one big open space to kill the hell out of each other

Well.. its Friday and there is some Knob Creek calling my name!

if we allow the nazis the westboros and any other group to peacefully have a demonstration then what is the difference here........none
now if all theses artists show up with guns(gonna assume they all have concealed carry) then they are perfectly in there rights.
we all have the right to peacefully demonstrate.

Now, do i believe that this whole thing is stupid, a big ole fat yes.

"The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances."

The moment we give into their demands and tiptoe around their delicate sensibilities is the moment we decide they are in charge.

Personally, I couldn't come up with a single shit to give about which cartoon character drawn is found offensive by any group. That sounds like an argument between elementary school children. These people want to behead other people for this?? Hmm.... Sanity check please.

If someone CHOOSES to get upset because they are offended by a cartoon drawing because they were born into a belief system and brainwashed to go full-retard, their response behavior remains their personal choice. Good luck with your defense in court, or... in Texas.

Wish I lived in Phoenix!!!

What'd I'd really like to see here is a peaceful counter-protest by actual Christians and Americans who have read the Word and have taken the "love your enemy and do good to those who hate you" piece of the Bible to heart. They should counterprotest in much the same way the Patriot Guard Riders counter-protest the Westboro Baptists at funerals - be in the way and shield the Muslim worshippers as they go about their business in their holy place. In fact, I will be disappointed if this DOESN'T happen because it already does happen in other countries (http://thinkprogress.org/security/2011/01/08/137913/thousands-muslims-human-shields/).

It sure would be nice to show how we can work within the Constitution to express the true opinion of the country in regards to tolerance and peace. If the people of Texas DON'T make a peaceful counter-protest, they will have shown themselves to be further behind the free-expression power-curve than the 2011 Egyptian Muslims.

It's ugly, I understand Freedom of speech but this is just ugly.... I don't get people anymore.

The stupid flows with these ones.

Here we go again

Inflammatory yes. But what ever happened to risk mitigation? You can say whatever you want without government reprisal, but you still face consequences for your actions. These people are a little slow if they think they can handle a real terrorist attack on a public event.
