So this whole thing going on in Phoenix is really pissing me off. Should you be able to draw Mohammad? Sure. But to hold a competition outside a mosque during their nightly prayer, and tell folks to show their support for the second amendment is just stupid bubblegum baiting. People are supposed to get hurt, as the liberal media tell it (and most would expect). Psycho gun nuts poking at alleged terrorists (which is a totally unfair religious stereotype). The problem is the only time we see followers of Islam on TV is when they are doing bad things.
I know I may sound like a bleeding heart liberal here, but I've known enough followers to realize that what is being shown is not what they are. It's a small radical group that does sensational things that promote ratings.
Just as these small number of people become a representation of a population, so do these gun toting idiots become a representation of us. A bunch of gun toting idiots looking for some reason to shoot someone. Creating a situation to shoot someone.
This isn't good for anyone, in any way.
