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.

Christians are taught forgiveness and tolerance. Their god in Christ let himself be tortured to death instead of laying a hand on his false accusers.
Buddhists, seriously? The most violent thing proper Buddhists have ever done to anyone else was light themselves on fire in order to show that they disagree in their presence. The second most violent thing is choosing to smile a little less.
Compare to some Muslims, quick to murder over lines on paper that they have never seen all in conformance with their religion just as forgiveness and passivity are with respect to your other examples.

Actually, Buddhists are commiting genocide all over Asia, mostly against Muslims. All religions have assholes and extremists.

Hell of a claim. Where is the missing race? Where are the millions dead? Where is the link to Buddhist monks with AK's gunning down fleeing children through 2/3rds of the planet's land mass?

Saying "if something is serious … you have to take counter-measures" (taken right from that link), is not at all like murder, or killing, or even any sort of violence at all. In fact what I am doing right now is more violent in that I am directly refuting an action instead of condoning someone else doing something in response.

Horseshit, pal. Christianity is all about "Wait till My Father gets home. He'll torture you all FOREVER."
Just because individual Christians, plural, are told not to be violent, doesn't mean the religion isn't itself hideously violent and evil. At this point, I don't know who to be more afraid of, Muslims an ocean away or Christians here in the US.
