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.

    Allah is the Arabic word meaning "God". The same God that Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Paul and all the rest worshiped,

    Muhammad was just one of God's prophets, like Moses and Jesus.

    I totally agree with the rest of your comment and your last point is dead on otherwise. There are not going to be any "Draw Moses" contests.

    "There are not going to be any "Draw Moses" contests."

    Because nobody would care...
