It's 100% an anti- Islam and event, and something I expect from the guys of Stormfront to put on. It's offensive, distasteful speech (and 100% protected). Pictures of the prophet at offensive to followers of that particular faith, so when non-followers creates such images, they are purposefully being offensive. They may think this is a thumbing their nose at radicals with this act, but in the process, they are offending ALL believers of that faith.
Thumbs down for anyone who participated in this event.
people drawing distasteful pictures of an Islamic religious figure are a hate group. People pissing on a crucifix in a bucket are artists.

If anyone cares, from what I'm reading, this was the "winning cartoon" at Gellar's event:

They may try some place a little more "Californian" next time though.
IMO, the issue is assimilation.

“I can’t believe we have to reiterate this,” he said. “It is not OK to shoot other people because you are offended by what they draw — even if they drew it to offend you, no shooting of them. Never OK.”
an issue is the silence of the 99.9999%If more than 99.9999% of "those people" have no issues whatsoever, how can it be a problem with assimilation?
It is a problem of criminality or terrorism.
Anyway, in light of the various "Little Italy" and "Chinatown" type places - or heck, have you ever been to Hawaii? - when has America ever DEMANDED IN A REALLY LOUD VOICE that people assimilate? Immigrants come here because the want more freedom, not less. (That's a demographic generalization.)
Don't hesitate to call those ****birds out. MSNBC and NYT both jumped in on it, calling the event an "anti-islamist" group. I guess that's what "pro 1A" is today.
No, not going to allow that re-definition. Anyone trying to say Americans aren't allowed to draw ****ing pictures is a ****-eating hack.
So,
ISIS marches Christians down to the beach and cuts their heads off
Americans hold a political cartoon contest
who are the bad guys again?
