Islamist attack on Texas art exhibition. UPDATE: Muslim spokesman blames organisers

Muslim spokesturd Kuranda Seyit on Oz ABC: Spencer & Geller exercising their free speech brought on this attack through their “stupidity”

Andrew Bolt

There is a real problem with Islam in the West:

Two men were shot and killed in a parking lot outside the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland Sunday afternoon…

The two suspects drove up and opened fire near the center, which was hosting a Muhammad Art exhibit, and hit a Garland ISD officer.

Garland Police shot and killed the two men…

Multiple SWAT teams and an FBI bomb squad were searching the area around the center for explosives in a vehicle.

Some SWAT members were already at the scene for the art event.

The exhibition was organised with the danger clearly in mind:

The New York-based American Freedom Defense Initiative was hosting a contest that would award $10,000 for the best cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad at the venue. Caricatures of the Islamic prophet are considered offensive by many Muslims.

The American Freedom Defense Initiative paid an additional $10,000 upfront for 40 officers to work security at the event. The group’s president, Pamela Gellar, called it “the high cost of freedom.”…

The decision to book the event came a little more than a week after Islamic militants in France killed 12 people at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The organizers said they were exercising their freedom of expression. 

Let’s now see how many people really meant it when they declared “Je suis Charlie”. My tip: the organisers, not the terrorists, will be blamed by much of the media.

UPDATE

Prediction checks out.

Kuranda Seyit, spokesman of the Islamic Council of Victoria, gives a disgraceful comment to the ABC, suggesting that people exercising their free speech brought on this attack through their “stupidity”:


This is really about baiting Muslims. It’s about you know venting hatred towards one religious community.  It is not about free speech. And it’s a ridiculous notion to have a competition offering $10,000 so someone can denigrate the prophet.  And they did this knowingly that this would upset lots and lot of Muslims in the community and tragically what we’ve got is a result of someone’s incompetence and stupidity to even run such an event. It is a shame and I very sad that this is happened, but if you do this, if you poke a dog with a stick it’s going to bite you.

Submit or die. Your fault it you choose wrong.

Second shooter identified: Nadir Soofi, 34

 “…good kid made a bad choice.”

“May Allah accept us as mujahideen.”

Nadir Hamid Soofi has been named as one of the gunmen in the Garland Prophet Muhammad Art Contest shooting. The attack happened just outside of Dallas on the night of May 3. The two jihadists were shot dead by a Garland police officer outside of the Curtis Culwell Center and prevented from causing a massacre. One cop was shot in the leg during the exchange of gunfire.

 Leftoids always try to divert the narrative. Here, attempted mass-murder in the name of Islam is being reduced to “she (Geller) calls them savages”. But Geller calling them ‘savages’ is not the problem, the fanatical Muslim killer zombies are.

In Baltimore, a ‘chocolate city’ where black looters and moochers did ‘their thing’, they apply the same diversionary tactics with “do not call them thugs, that’s the new ‘N’-word”. These people are the result of dumbing down, which is inevitable after 60 years of  leftist self-service. The thugs ruined the city, the thugs are in charge but not responsible. That’s the problem. Not those who call them out on it.

Donald Trump reacts to the Muhammad Cartoon Contest shooting and probably isn’t what you would expect from him.

“What in the hell is she doing?” Trump said on “Fox & Friends” on Monday. “She’s taunting them,” he added. “What is the purpose of it? Isn’t there something else they could draw?”

Funny how leftoids try to pervert free speech into ‘bigotry’

Pamela Geller DESTROYS onslaught of ridiculous attacks from CNN’s Alisyn Camerota

From the Right Scoop

I can’t say I didn’t see it coming. Instead of finding fault with the attackers that tried to KILL Pamela Geller for using her freedom of speech, CNN’s Alisyn Camerota calls her a bigot and attacks her on-air. Pamela handled it expertly and destroyed every criticism tossed her way.

Here’s the first part:

Here’s the second part:

Good job Pamela.

Camerota and her comrades are a much greater threat to your freedom than the Mohammedans.

Muslims Defend Pam Geller’s Right To Hate

Slick and smarmy as Muslim agitprop Dean Obeidallah can be. Of course he doesn’t ‘defend’ Geller’s right to free expression, but he tries not give us the impression that he is a primitive savage:

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that some Muslims aren’t offended by the idea of Geller offering $10,000 for people to draw despicable cartoons of Mohammed.  But the reality is American Muslims deeply value freedom of expression.

The crap he writes is lame and drips with taqiyya:

I, along with Muslims across America, are hoping and even praying the two gunmen involved in this shooting were not Muslim.  But if it turns they were, I can assure you that Muslim American community and religious leaders will swiftly denounce it as well as make it clear that we absolutely defend freedom of expression.

Their denouncing is even cheaper than  their lies.

Corrections Victoria had “no way of stopping the release” of Islamic terrorists?

Terror plotters linked to IS released after minimum sentences, despite fears

Nino Bucci and Michael Bachelard (SMH)
Corrections Victoria had concerns that some of the eight men jailed in the state had not addressed the rationale for their beliefs and were at risk of reoffending, but it had no way of stopping their release.

Khaled Sharrouf left Australia to fight for the Islamic State group.Khaled Sharrouf left Australia to fight for the Islamic State group.

Convicted terror plotters who are now linked to Islamic State were released from prison after serving their minimum sentences, despite authorities fearing they remained at risk of extremism, because of a federal law that granted automatic parole.

The members of Abdul Nacer Benbrika’s terror cell, uncovered during Operation Pendennis in 2005, included Khaled Sharrouf, whose barbarity as an Islamic State enforcer has led to global notoriety, and Melbourne men who are suspected of recruiting Australians for the jihadi group.

But because the men were all sentenced to less than 10 years’ prison, they were automatically released on parole, under a federal law that was scrapped in 2012.

Does Victoria Need a “Taskforce to combat racism and bigotry?”

Stupid on steroids in Victoria. To throw money at Muslims to not blow us up is extremely stupid. But to threaten patriots over free speech  “Islamophobia” is vile, it is cowardly and Orwellian. The last thing we need is a speech police. (SY)

Stopping people of no identity becoming radical whatevers.

UPDATE: nice people, says Adam Houda

Andrew Bolt

A press release from the Andrews Government:

The Andrews Labor Government has allocated $25 million over four years to develop a whole of community approach to enhance social cohesion and community resilience to counter all forms of violent extremism.

“All forms of violent extremism”? How many exactly do we face?

Only one comes to mind, but this press release dare not speak its name:

….to address social cohesion, community resilience, marginalisation and extremism …  a particular focus on youth involvement …  in partnership with community groups …  support communities …  may lead to individual and community disengagement, anti-social behaviour and extremism … those at risk of marginalisation …  addressing marginalisation and extremism … tackling violent extremism is essential, particularly when it comes to engaging younger Victorians. 

How can a deradicalisation program work when it is aimed at no one in particular?

Just to underline the intellectual dishonesty, the only mention of Islam in the entire press release suggests Muslims are not offenders but victims:


The Taskforce will also look at ways to combat racism and bigotry, with a focus on addressing anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

That Andrews government can just about go and f*kc itself. This is incompetence and submission to Islam on steroids. (SY)

UPDATE

Reader sillyoldbugger:

There is a second form of extremism called CFMEUism. Perhaps Mr Andrews had this in mind.

UPDATE

What evil? Where?

Islamic criminal lawyer Adam Houda is profiled by the Sydney Morning Herald:


His anti-Israel and anti-US rants are regular and vociferous: “Special place in hell for Nazi-Israel” (August 5, 2014). “USA and Israel, the world’s two leading terrorist states” (December 12, 2014). “EVIL PIGS: Israeli forces shoot 5 year old boy in the face” (December 26, 2014). “On the issue of terrorism & barbarity, the IS are absolute amateurs compared to Israel” (January 4, 2015)…

The conversation moves on to Mohamed Elomar and Khaled Sharrouf, now in the Middle East fighting with IS. I ask him how he found them as clients. “I know them to be good guys,” he says. “If you speak to [Elomar’s] family, he succumbed to [schizophrenic Sharrouf’s] madness.”…

australia-146469638454Houda insists that Sharrouf was “driven by what he saw as great injustices occurring in the Middle East, by evil dictators who were supported by America and its allies. Granted, he’s gone about things the wrong way, but if you had the opportunity to discuss these issues with Sharrouf, I think you’d be impressed by his sincerity.” 

I find this kind of venting extremely worrying, not least because it is mainstreaming.

Or are we supposed to believe that Houda is just part of a tiny, unrepresentative minority?

UPDATE

No particular faith? Certainly no will to resist:

A COUNCIL says it cannot and should not stop a controversial Islamic group linked to counter-terrorism operations from meeting inside a council-owned leisure centre in Melbourne’s southeast.

The Al-Furqan Islamic Information Centre closed its Springvale South doors just days after its associates were arrested in an alleged plot to murder police on Anzac Day.

From the very same council:

the-world-is-divided181
Greater Dandenong Council ...  called on women to wear the Islamic headdress for three hours today as part of a “social experiment” for National Youth Week.

If the council cracked down on Islamist groups there might be less fear of Islam.
