The Guardian is reporting that...
Two gunmen have been killed and a security guard injured during what appeared to be an attack on a contest for cartoon depictions of the prophet Muhammad in a Dallas suburb.
The gunmen drove up to the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland shortly before 7pm on Sunday where the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) were hosting the exhibition and contest.
According to city authorities an unarmed guard at the event was shot at before the men were engaged and killed by police.
Further...
A bomb squad was called in after reports of a possible incendiary device at the scene of the incident. Police said a "bomb container trailer" had also been deployed in which to place any suspect device.
A police spokesman said two males had been killed and their bodies were still lying outside their car hours later.
"Because of the situation of what was going on today and the history of what we've been told has happened at other events like this, we are considering their car (is) possibly containing a bomb," Officer Joe Harn, a spokesman for the Garland Police Department, said.

Dignify? You don't know diddly about Islam, do you? To them, pigs are unclean, unholy, and a whole lot more. I say, dump the filth with the filth. I see little difference between a jihadist, and a pig. The pig may be cleaner.

Advocating torture or desecrating remains = ego stroking revenge mindset. The vivid detail is a nice touch and hints at a sexual frustration. Could you hear your son rubbing one off during the phone call?

Why do I have the feeling that these very same Free-Speech-Warriors would throw a complete shit-fit if they ever saw a penis on TV?

While some of them would. there is distinct strain of atheism [salon.com] that thinks islam is especially deserving of being shat on.

I also wouldn't like to see a penis on my TV. To start with, if I see it, then obviously no one is standing in front of it, or else he would block the view. But on the side or behind my TV, there's not enough space for someone to stand. Therefore I have to conclude that any penis lying on my TV would have to be cut off. And who wants to see a cut-off penis lying on his TV (or anywhere else)? I certainly don't.
