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.

    How can you fail so badly? Read Hemomyacin's post. Mohammed and Jesus sucking each other off. Your post seems to support the idea that I should hunt the man down, and kill him for insulting Jesus.

    Hemomyacin - when is the last time a Christian stalked you for having made an irreverant post about Jesus? How many times have you narrowly escaped an assassination attempt, because of your irreverance for all things Christian?

    AC is a hopeless idiot.

    Every single Muslim in the US - as well as outside the US - who takes offense at this Muhammed cartoon thing can just drop dead. And, I'll be happy to assist in the dropping.

    The Christian God doesn't demand blind, idiotic, mindless obedience, like Islam's Allah does. Or, to be more accurate, the Christian God doesn't require the blind idiotic mindless obedience that many Muslim imams demand.

    "Here, boy, strap this vest on, and walk over toward those infidels. Tonight, you'll sleep with 70 virgins, Allahu ackbar!"

    "Only senventy virgins, imam?"

    "Well, yes, of course only 70 virgins. I'm your commander, so you'll reserve the others for me!"

    Obviously Runaway is not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! And not much of a Christian. If I had to guess, and I don't but I will just for the sake of keeping the hatemongering red-hot, Lutheran? Missouri Synod? Unreformed? The Christian God and the Muslim God (and the Jewish one, but let's keep him out of this) are the SAME God, if obedience is required in one of these religions, and not in the others, somebody is getting something wrong. Or, there is no god, and Runaway is his accuser.

      Sorry, but you have it wrong. Only at a glance is Islam related to Christianity and Judaism. When you begin to examine Islam more closely, you will realize that Islam is a death worshipping cult. Christianity and Judaism worship life.

        Though Zionistic interpreters of their scriptures seem to more worship the regular termination of it, for Palestinians.

        Having said that, the religious christain right in the US has spread its love of live via the mechanisms of creating phoney wars and bombing people back to the stone age on the international scale, and by fire-bombing abortion clinics on the local scale.

        The three are from the same production line. Version 3 just hasn't got round to fixing the bugs that plagued the previous 2 versions for many centuries.

        > When you begin to examine Islam more closely, you will realize that Islam is a death worshipping cult. Christianity and Judaism worship life.

        We can trace the accusation "death worshipping cult" back to Ayaan Hirsi Ali who said islam is a "destructive, nihilistic cult of death." [alternet.org] However, when pressed on the issue by Jon Stewart [cc.com] she admitted that what he means is that just like every other religion with an afterlife it is concerned with living a good life so that they will end up in their equivalent of heaven rather than their equivalent of hell.

        So, phrasing. And not in the clever, kinky Archeresque way. [youtube.com]

    Due to increased number of Muslims martyring themselves, virgins are in short supply. Please note that, in future, the number of virgins shall be reduced to meet the increased demand. Please adjust your expectations accordingly.

      Unbelievable as it sounds, Uwe Boll had the best take on this problem.
      My wife is from a muslim family and she about pissed herself laughing at this:
      What if there are only ten virgins? And we have to split them between us? [youtube.com]

    In that case you're not the slightest bit better than those radical Muslims. It's just that the offense you're willing to kill for is different.
