Posted on behalf of Robert as he is in lockdown – from Pamela Geller
This is a war. This is war on free speech. What are we going to do? Are we going to surrender to these monsters?
Two men with rifles and backpacks attacked police outside our event. A cop was shot; his injuries are not life-threatening, thank Gd. Please keep him in your prayers.
The bomb squad has been called to the event site to investigate a backpack left at the event site.
The war is here.

Updates from https://www.facebook.com/RowlettSachseScanner?fref=ts :
“Two subjects opened fire on a Garland Police officer. The two subjects who shot at the officer have been killed. The Muhammad Art Exhibit was going on at the time.
There are multiple reports that two explosives have been placed in the area of Curtis Caldwell Center. Businesses in the area have been evacuated. FBI Bomb Squad, Garland SWAT, and Rowlett SWAT are on location.”
“A law enforcement source confirms to me that two Middle Eastern men opened fire with semi-automatic weapons. At least one of the suspects had a hand grenade.”
From BBC:
Shots have been fired outside a conference on cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in a suburb of the US city of Dallas, police say.
A Swat team member told the conference that one officer and two suspects were shot – but it is not clear if the shootings are related to the event.
Police have put the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland on lockdown and told participants in the event not to leave.
Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders was attending the conference.

I hope this gets coverage from coast to coast.
WAKE UP AMERICA.
IT IS ON OUR OWN SHORES
BigRob says
It is, but the media is painting this as an “anti-muslim rally.”
That was Yahoo’s initial breaking news header, before it was updated to a “muhammad cartoon contest.”
May all in attendance at this important event stay safe!

It already was, nearly 15 years ago on September 11…
Bradamante says
I have nothing but admiration for the bravery of the people who are there tonight, and the people who submitted works of art under their real names. Praying for everyone’s safety. The live feed from United West is still on; it just shows an empty room, for now, but Tom Trento said they’ll come back on when they can. I’m keeping that window open on my computer as my tiny gesture to maintaining solidarity with the people in the building.

It just broke on the news and when they said Dalllas, Texas I knew what it could only be. Sure enough here it is. The snake was famished and weak. We brought the snake into our home giving it nourishment and love. It continues to strike us over and over, year after year. We know it is a snake. If we don’t cast it out it’s poison we have thus far weathered will eventually kill us.
Ben says
Good thing Texans know how to handle snakes!
dumbledoresarmy says
And from the sounds of it, they did! Two dead attackers, dead, dead, dead; good riddance.
One policeman shot, but not seriously hurt.
I call that a win for the side of the Free Infidels.

The future should not belong to those who extoll Mohammed and who try to stifle criticism of him and the putrid religion he founded. Take that, Obama, and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, you fool.
I hope you are safe, Robert Spencer. All those who cherish liberty are with you completely, brave and good man that you are.

A good portion of the reporting will consist of leftist hand wring over innocent Mohammedans worrying about a ‘backlash’ by ‘racist cowboy’ Americans and whether such hate events should be regulated.
Jay Airahs says
How would they react if Muslim congressmen or speakers from CAIR were targeted for their provocation against non-Muslims?

Hey I thought IS-lam was a “religion” of PEAS. Get ready for the standard oh-bummer and leftist lines, “they shouldn’t be drawin’ images of ‘the prophet'” etc. “’cause it’s ‘disrespectful'” ie. the SAME THING violent Islamists say. If I could have gone to the event I would have worn a vest for at least some protection.

Muslim filth try and spread their violence- America needs to wake up to the Islamic threat inside our country
nothosaur says
Lesson taught.
We can still legally make a Broadway production out of mocking the Mormon Church. We can still legally have a Mohammed Art show.
Yes, there are risks when it comes to Islam. But, that is the price of liberty. We will pay it gladly.
Our constitutional republic can and will survive so long as we have the right to defend ourselves with deadly force against aggressors who imminently threaten our safety.
As for our guns — come and take them.
katnis says
Love your passionate stand on liberty and free speech!
kash says
Of course they prove the whole point of the event. But it won’t be their fault because islam is a religion of peace, don’t ya know.
Don McKellar says
Horrible as it is, those retarded inbred moslems who just got shot and killed have blown the publicity for this important fight for free speech and liberty right into the stratosphere! They have achieved EXACTLY the opposite of what they wanted! All of America and much of the modern, free world will be talking about this little event that mainstream media would have preferred swept under the rug. Well done you retards!

Love from Australia. I hope you are safe, Robert.
Thanks for your bravery. I was watching the live stream of the event and heard Geert Wilders say, “Cartoonists don’t kill jihadiats, jihadists kill cartoonists.”
In a sane world it would not be Pamela and Robert called the haters but those who use violence or the threat of violence against them.
underbed cat says
So I won’t draw a cartoon….I have some great ideas of floating angels conversation…but anyway I won’t insult your prophet…..and the men who took the shots I can’t talk too…..they are gone….I can’t talk you out of what you are thinking I just wish your prophet really was peaceful.

To the wounded officer I pray for your speedy and full recovery. if our leadership would understand the enemy they would know that there is no treaty that will bring peace. There is no understanding of diversity that will stop this violence. Study. You will understand the doctrine that wants to bring down the constitution and country.Do not listen to CAiR do not listen to MB. they are deceiving.Respecting this as a religion is completely false.

From the “mainstream” “media” – “Such drawings are deemed insulting to many followers of Islam and have sparked violence around the world.” Translation: “Just about anything is deemed insulting to most followers of Islam marked by incessant Islamic violence around the world.”
JihadWatchJane says
I cannot BELIEVE the tone of this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3066821/Extreme-free-speech-group-refused-cancel-provocative-Muhammad-Art-Exhibit-despite-protests-told-world-know-risks.html in the supposedly conservative UK Daily Mail, which implies the victims are to blame for exercising their right to so-called “extreme” free speech. Speech is either free or it is not, and evidently it is not as long as we continue to capitulate to the terrorists.
I despair for the future of the free world. We must unite and fight this enemy before it’s too late! We are still in the majority, although sadly the majority of us are currently cowering in the face of our own destruction.

This disgusting blaming of the victims is hardly uncommon—but we have to stand firm.
By the way, I love your witty username!

The repulsive Sabri S. wrote:

……………………………
This vile Mohammedan believes that he and his savage coreligionists have every right to murder anyone who dares expose the violence of his foul creed. And why not? This is *exactly* what Islam says. The “Prophet” himself had his critics assassinated.
He believes that pointing our the violence of Islam “creates a war”. This is false—Islam is *already* at war with “Harbies”—they just don’t want us to dare acknowledge it.

Was standing strong to defend freedom of speech worth it, even in the face of the attack by your homicidal fellow Muslims? Hell, yes!

Note that Sabri S. considers any criticism or even questioning of the psychotic “Prophet”—who was a pedophile, a warlord, a slaver, a rapist, and a mass murderer, to be “garbage activity”. Never mind that we reject the idea that this sociopath was a “prophet of god”.

Sabri S. doesn’t want real and intelligent discourse—if he did, he would not be defending murdering anyone who disagrees with him and his fellow Islamic thugs. Instead, he wants us to observe Shari’ah strictures, or else fall at the hands of his homicidal “brothers”.

Great post, Graven. I’m a fan.

Thank you, Buffster.
Sabri S. says
In any case, I am glad that you and Robert are well.
No war here…except what bigotry and disrespect creates.
End the war and occupation of muslim countries now!!
dumbledoresarmy says
What do you define as “Muslim countries”?
And how did those countries *become* Muslim, eh? Magic?
Islam, the Cult of Blood and War, the Arab Imperial Cult, spread primarily by outright warfare, secondarily by deceit (infiltration, subversion). Millions upon millions of indigenous non-Muslim people were butchered in their own homelands, by invading-infiltrating mohammedans (and by quislings amongst their own, who sided with or were corrupted by the Muslims).
PS Plenty of people here know full well that you malignant narcissists believe that the *whole world* – even faraway places like Greenland and Easter Island – is ‘muslim land’ illegally occupied, by us non-Muslims. So don’t whine to us about ‘occupied Muslim lands”.
I think it’s time we non-Muslims demanded that Muslims end the occupation of West Papua (majority Christian).
Constantinople, too: let’s see the Turkish Muslims giving stolen property – the Hagia Sophia – back to the Greek Christians. Muslims didn’t build it. Muslims have NO right to it. Islam didn’t even *exist* when the Hagia Sophia was built. The Hagia Sophia rightfully belongs to Greek Christians: and the Muslim thieves are *squatting * in it*, which disgusts me.
Oh yes, and the Temple Mount in Israel: the muslims should get the h8ll off it, and give it ALL back to the Jews, and the Jews have every right to pray there in public and if they choose to demolish the al Aqsa mosque and the dome of the rock, that’s their right; because the Temple Mount was the site of two Jewish temples, for CENTURIES before the human-sacrifice murder-theft-rape-and-slavery-and-extortion system that is Islam was ever cooked up out of whole cloth.
Don’t whine to us about ‘occupation’.
But, btw, I personally would be very happy to take our soldiers out of wholly-Muslim hellpits like Afghanistan; so long as all the *Muslim* soldiers – all those Mohammedan males of military age, and their camp followers – get OUT of the places in *our* territory that they’re currently invading, like, oh, Greece. They don’t belong there. Out! Somali Muslims don’t belong in Europe – or Australia – or America – or Kenya. Somali Muslims belong in ruined-by-Islam Somalia.
We take ours out of the lands you currently rule and ruin; but in return, YOU get YOURS **out** of Europe, Australia, the Americas, the Caribbean, India, Thailand, Philippines, and out of ALL the majority-non-Muslim countries in Africa. Now. OUT! And stay out. That’s what should happen.
TheBuffster says
Great reply, Dumbledore. 🙂
TheBuffster says
Sabri, when we leave Muslim countries, the likes of the Islamic State gets the upper hand, takes over, and goes on a murder and rape spree.
Is that what you want?
gravenimage says
More from the repellent Sabri S.:
In any case, I am glad that you and Robert are well.
…………………………..
Why? Sabri S. just said that he believes that Robert Spencer “created a war” for daring to expose the violence of the sanguinary “Prophet”.
More:
No war here…except what bigotry and disrespect creates.
…………………………..
In other words, his pious coreligionists going to massacre an auditorium full of peaceful people was not an act of war, but daring to “disrespect” the violent “Prophet” is. *Ugh*.
And he considers exposing Muhammad’s violence to be “bigotry”, It is no more “bigoted” than exposing the violence of Hitler or Stalin.
More:
End the war and occupation of muslim countries now!!
…………………………..
The idea that these would-be assassins were attacking Robert Spencer and a roomful of non-violent cartoonists over the “occupation of muslim countries” is simply ludicrous. They were plotting mass murder because we dared to exercise our freedom of speech.
Angemon says
Sabri S. posted:
“No war here…except what bigotry and disrespect creates.”
I concur – it was muslims who decided to take up arms and attempt to kill non-muslims because of the bigotry and lack of respect taught by their “religion”.
“End the war and occupation of muslim countries now!!”
Which muslims countries are allegedly occupied? Iraq wasn’t occupied, and look at how things turned out after US troops left it – although I have the feeling that Sabri supports the islamic state and therefore is pleased at the atrocities committed in Iraq after the departure of US troops.
Transmaster says
Texas is the wrong state to try to pull of such an attack. It is Allah Akbar suicide.
Oh what a place to have use Meerkat, those at the confernce could have been streaming live video,
voegelinian says
I was watching the live feed earlier, watching Geert Wilders speak at the podium, then Pam Geller, then Bosch Fawstin, the winner of the Mohammed art prize, then Robert Spencer — and many of the remarks, especially of Wilders and Spencer, in retrospect were eerily ironic, as they were talking about the whole point of the event — defending free speech in a context where they need armed guards to ensure it ensconced deep within the (supposedly) free West…
TheBuffster says
Yep. The two scramble-brained jihadi fools simply amplified that point and brought it to the attention of the whole world, with minimal damage to anyone but themselves.
ECAW says
This is what they call the Streisand Effect isn’t it?
dumbledoresarmy says
I do like Geert Wilders’ speech.
He quoted the phrase, “Don’t mess with Texas”.
And right on cue, two infinitely-stupid Mohammedan mobsters tried to mess with Texas.
Now they’re dead.
ECAW says
“but it is not clear if the shootings are related to the event.”
Well done the BBC!
Porky The Crusader says
They were there by accident and was another accident that they were screaming ‘allah Anal-Barrr’.Ok.
Tony Davis says
The BBC is the mouth piece for the muslim SAVAGES!!!
Paul says
Exactly right. No. they’re left but you are correct.
dumbledoresarmy says
I’ve an idea.
Up the ante.
**Tour the exhibition**.
If you possibly can, if you can manage to crowd-fund it…tour it from one end of the USA to the other.
Then Canada.
Wilders wants to show it in the Netherlands: good idea. I wonder whether anyone would be game to show it in France, or Denmark (it should be).
Bring it to Australia!!
Pitch it to Law Enforcement as a rolling “sting op”; see how many other mohammedan mobsters can be flushed/ lured out into the open…and then arrested or obliterated, as circumstance arises.
PS You really need a film festival in conjunction with it. At the very least – on a continuous loop, in secured theatres – Geert Wilders’ “Fitna” and Theo Van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Submission”. Those are nice and short. For connoisseurs of Really Bad Movies – they exist – you could have “Innocence of Muslims” (but with an accompanying flier so people know that all the incidents portrayed, from mohammed’s life, are taken straight out of the Sira and other authoritative Muslim texts). Not sure what other films have qualified as excuses for Muslim threats/ riots/ etc, but you could show them all.
Jack Diamond says
I’d run continuous loops of MEMRI’s greatest hits. In the “enter at your own risk” Freak Attraction tent.
dumbledoresarmy says
EXCELLENT idea. Now why didn’t I think of that?
Jack Diamond says
DDA, this might be a good place to mention a new movie about the Armenian Genocide called “1915”. It looks like it might be an important and much needed film: http://www.1915themovie.com

As the terrorists said:
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Wait, it was the terrorists who said that, right?
Colin says
Note the the BBC report about “the Prophet Mohammed” and the “anti Islamic Geert Wilders”. Not “the prophet” but good Sharia compliant “the Prophet”. That’s ex-impartial BBC newsromm editors at work, for you. Don’t ever forget “the Prophet”, their Prophet and your Prophet”. The BBC’s next step will be to add the “Prophet [Peace be upon him]”
jayell says
“The BBC’s next step will be to add the “Prophet [Peace be upon him]”…” Unless my memory is playing me up, I believe that something like that has already happened. But people shouldn’t get too concerned because a lot of people in influential places are really starting to hate the BBC now. With a bit of luck the BBC’s number might be up before too much longer.
