Armed Patriots Save Texas From Freedom Of Religion

Who Was That Mosqued Man?

Armed Patriots Save Texas From Freedom Of Religion



A group of armed protesters stood around with guns and signs outside a mosque in Irving, Texas, Saturday to protect the Lone Star State from the imminent threats of sharia law and/or terrorism. After a few hours of making mosque members nervous and getting approving honks and thumbs up from passing traffic, they left satisfied that disaster had, for the moment, been averted. One protester, in his early 20s, brought his mom along, possibly in case of accident. Several protesters wore masks to protect their identity from those who would do America harm.

Wingnuts Have Had It With That Muslim Teen Terrorist Ahmed Mohamed And His 'Science'
Irving, you may recall, is the charming town where they don’t care for Muslim kids playing around with clock innards. After being arrested for bringing a home-reassembled clock to school, Ahmed Mohamed
got to meet President Obama, and then his family moved to Qatar, which is friendlier than Irving freaking Texas. So congratulations, dickbags, you chased the one smart kid out of town. But maybe there were more smart Muslims hiding in the mosque?

The protesters outside the Islamic Center of Irving didn’t specifically mention the threat of 14-year-olds tinkering with electronics, but they were very concerned about the Paris attacks and wanted to send a message that they do not want any Syrian refugees coming to Irving, where they might build more clocks or launch jihad. Rally organizer David Wright, who brought a “tactical shotgun” along, explained to Dallas Morning news reporter Avi Selk that the group was carrying the boomsticks “mostly for self-protection.” But, he continued, “I’m not going to lie. We do want to show force. We’re not sitting ducks.” Wright’s group calls itself the “Bureau of American Islamic Relations,” a play on the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Wright also claimed he had heard Muslims in Irving had made death threats against Mayor Beth Van Duyne, who’s become a minor rightwing hero for her loud warnings earlier this year that area Muslims were setting up sharia courts. (The fuss was actually over a private mediation service, which was no different from those run by Catholic or Jewish groups, except it involved Muslims, therefore Creeping Sharia.) Selk duly noted that the Dallas Morning News hasn’t seen any verification of the supposed death threats, but Wright insisted they were real enough to justify being prepared to use deadly force:
“We don’t want people to think we’re out to kill people or shoot people,” Wright said as dozens of Muslim worshipers and students at the Islamic school pulled out of the parking lot past him, some standing in groups to stare at the protests in wonderment. “It would be ridiculous to protest Islam without defending ourselves.”
