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.

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.

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.

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]
