If they could, Pamela Geller would probably take a chill pill, and American kafirs would see them as allies instead of the enemy. I do realize that some, but not enough, Islamic religious leaders condemn the actions of the crazies, but for whatever reason, their message isn't getting told here in the U.S. Whose fault is that? Lemme see....... could it be the national media which is controlled almost exclusively by lefties?

You do realise, you, I, and the majority of the US citizens, simply drawing breath offends millions of Muslims.. YES?
You do realise, you, I, and the majority of the US citizens who do not require of and discipline our women IAW Muslim ways offends millions of Muslims..
You do realise when millions of American males refuse to kill their wife and daughters when they offend Allah by acting inappropriately IAW Muslim ways those americans are offending millions of Muslim males.

Why again am I concerned that our freedom of speech is offending millions of Muslims?
I can not control who is offended in another country in reference to how Americans live.

Why the deafening silence about the attacks on Christianity from those who now cry "foul"?

Had these "Americans" the courage of their convictions - that they hate all religion, they would be selling cartoons outside the Mosques. Instead, their courage only extends to attacking, verbally, with printed materials, and "art", Christians who they know will not attack them. Now suddenly, they claim poking fun at religions is not a good thing to do. Their courage is legendary.

I think Americans should be respectful of all religions, not just those who retaliate. I think Americans should take the First Amendment seriously. After all is said and done: I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

I hope the officer gets the recognition he deserves. We here in Texas are all very proud of what he did. He is a true hero.

I'm sure for a second, we all wish we could have helped him.

No surprise that a revolver shooter could pull that off since revolver shooters tend to be a bit more sparing with their ammo than autoloader folks...

Its my understanding that he wasn't a revolver guy, he was a .45 guy. Granted, it was a Glock but nobody's perfect

My point is that Michael Berry was saying the weapon used was a "service revolver"

My point is that several other sources are indicating otherwise

Glock 21.

You'd have to take my word vouching for the guy making the claim in that link.

I saw a CNN interview where the anchor was clearly insinuating that the free speechers "asked for it and had it coming".

Sad. Very sad.

I think I was in 7th grade when I saw the stupidity of guys goaded into a fight because the other guy "was talking about my mom." The fight always ended up in a suspension and sometimes in a ticket from the campus officer. I asked a few of them, "Does he even know your mom?" "No." "Then why do you care what he says?"

It seems pretty ignorant and immature to give somebody else so much power that their words unilaterally compel your actions. Counterintuitively, it puts you at their mercy, not them at yours.

The proper response is to have ten of these events next week, 100 the week after that, and 1,000 the week after that.

That's what you get for watching CNN. Who does that?

Hahaha, well, not me. I kicked all cable/satellite to the curb years ago. I do have a bad habit of visiting their website, but I found this specific interview from a Facebook link to a conservative website that was calling out the CNN anchor and included the clips as a point of disgust.

Certainly, we should all figuratively walk on eggshells if it means we might anger radical Muslims with our insistence on free speech. Who do we think we are? Free Americans?

Then, we should promptly drop down into a fetal position and start sucking our thumbs and repeat: I'm so sorry - I'm so sorry - I'm so sorry if we get within a camel's breath of radical Muslim offense.

Authorities identified Elton Simpson from Arizona as the man behind the “Shariah is Light” terrorist account.

A screen grab from the now suspended Twitter account of the person who tweeted about martyrdom and the #texasattack twenty minutes before the attack in Garland, Texas on Sunday shows that the person was a convert to Islam.

A senior FBI official has identified one of the men as Elton Simpson, who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, according to ABC News.

Simpson, identified in court papers as an American Muslim, had been convicted of lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Somalia five years ago, but a judge ultimately ruled it could not be proved that he was heading there to join a terror group. He was placed on probation.

After his identity emerged, FBI agents and a bomb squad swarmed Simpson's apartment in north Phoenix, Arizona and used a robot to carry out the first sweep of his home, the channel reported. Investigators are reviewing computer records from materials found at the home
