Sounds like a great place to burn a big pile of Korans.

Let's schedule the "long gun" folks at the same corner......

Good idea.......

coulda got away with the book burning of privately owned korans a few years ago but nowadays you'd probably be charged with a hate crime or other legal silliness .

Will Obama be there or will he send Biden?

yep , I heard about the call to prayer on Rush , he reported it a little earlier , thanks for the article , mrobama is smiling !!

I was supposed to go to Garland last night. But am not feeling well so didn't go. My sign is made....."I support free speech", but it's sitting in the garage. I haven't heard yet, how many people showed up to support free speech.

a Saturday event headlined by a controversial Muslim speaker

A conference billed as a fund-raiser to build a center dedicated to teaching Muslims how to combat negative depictions of their faith drew crowds of protesters Saturday in Garland.

Some who turned out to picket the event said Islamic beliefs pose a threat to the American way of life.

Counter-protesters also attended, urging understanding and cooperation.

The $20-per-ticket Stand With the Prophet in Honor and Respect conference was promoted by Sound Vision Foundation. The organization has said hate groups use the actions of international extremists such as the Islamic State and Boko Haram to turn public opinion against all Muslims.

"They want for people to see that we are kind, peaceful people," a Muslim woman at the conference said. "We're not here to fight; we're not here to argue. We're just here to show that we're Americans, too."

Imam Siraj Wahhaj, the leader of the Muslim Alliance in North America, was chosen as the keynote speaker for the event. Detractors say he advocates the overthrow of the United States and the imposition of Sharia law.

Because of safety concerns, the conference's organizers increased security at the Curtis Culwell Center near North Star Road and the President George Bush Turnpike.

Abdul Malik Mujahid, the president of Sound Vision Foundation, said hundreds of hateful messages had been posted online about the conference.

He said threats of violence had been shared with law-enforcement personnel.

“It is extremely important for the Muslim community to connect with our message," he said. "We cannot allow terrorists to run away with the merciful personality of Prophet Muhammad, that they are standing on his name. No. We Muslims in the world, 1.7 billion people, we don’t agree with that. ... At the same time, we’re wondering whether there are good neighbors in America who will stand up with people of other faiths for their right to practice their faith."

One of the speakers at the conference, Georgetown University religion professor John Espositio, said the event was part of a series nationwide to discuss terrorism, hate speech and Islamophobia.

"I go to Muslim countries and I speak all over the United States," he said. "What’s interesting to me is that this is the first time that I’ve been in a situation that I’m come to speak and I’ve seen this level of hate.”

The Garland school district had faced criticism for allowing its convention center to be used for the event.

The conference and protests came a little more than a week after Islamic militants stormed the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people, including its top editor.

Former Garland City Attorney Charles Hinton took issue with the booking at Tuesday night's school board meeting.

But board President Rick Lambert said that because the convention center is a public facility, the school district cannot discriminate based on viewpoints.

"The Culwell Center is available for rental as long as you comply with the law," he said.

I suggest if they are uncomfortable with America they relocate to the ISIS Caliphate or Saudi Arabia.

If you click on the link there is a picture taken at the protest. Is that Ralph holding the "Kill a Muzzie for Christ" sign?

It won't be long before the Muslims will be telling us where to relocate.
The Muslim takeover of Western Europe is almost complete.
We're next.

I will do my part to see that is does not happen, and so will my kids and Grandkids. But yes we are next in line.

Beam me up Scottie!

Yeah..beam him up, Scottie.

Jesse Watters in Texas at the 'prophet' rally interviewing muslims on 'oreily' a few minutes ago . Interesting stuff , never figured this kinda stuff could happen in the USA . I knew what muslims were even as a kid and young adult but didn't know any in my neck of the woods . I remember in the early 70s , my Mom would buy the local neighborhood Calender that listed local events and birthdays of locals in the neighborhoods . It also listed , Christmas and other 'normal' American holidays . Then in maybe 1970 or 74 I started seeing muslim holidays listed I and figured . who the heck cares . Interesting how things are going in the USA !!
