Isn't this approaching cross burning as free speech? It's illegal in most cases if I recall
I'd be curious to see that as well, but I doubt you'd find many (if any) Muslims who'd mock Jesus like this.
He's considered a prophet in Islam, like Muhammad.

How does the legality of it factor in at all?

"What the fuck are you doing?"
"It's not illegal!"
The "It's Not Illegal" defense: When you know you're doing something terribly wrong.
Grown up version of the "Am I bothering you? I am not touching you" defense.

A group of armed bikies sitting down to draw together is going to be an interesting spectacle. How cute.
They forget to bring a solid surface so they're punching holes in the paper with their pencils

Complete assholes..them and anyone who thinks that this is a good idea.
.
I'm all for mocking religion but at the same time I think this is way out of hand and a blatant attempt to instigate for the sake of instigating.
Make fun of Mormons, Catholics, Muslims etc. but doing right outside of there specific place of worship is crossing the line IMO.

lol, these right here are some of the dumbest people on earth.
Complete pieces of trash.

I think cross burning is illegal if it's not done on one's own property for obvious reasons like vandalism, trespassing, and breaking safety and fire code. I don't believe the act itself is illegal, it just happens to work out that trying to intimidate somebody that way violates tons of other laws.
Yes. I'm convinced these are the kind of people who want to bring about WW3 so that Jesus can come down from heaven and rescue them from all the liburruuls and take them to the great big trailerpark in the sky.

True, but people should still never be targets for violence simply for drawing cartoons about a religious figure. These guys are complete dicks, and they're definitely attempting to instigate something with this. Of that there can be no doubt. However, without supporting any of the offensive discrimination they as a group stand for, a part of me really doesn't mind seeing them challenge or defy the kind of stupidity that would make people who choose to draw cartoons about their prophet targets.
I do wish a very different set of people would have gone about it in a better way, however.

There's a reason you only see certain types of people behaving this way.

So, the people from the mosque should sit outside of the Mosque and draw a bunch of shit about the bikers.
Draw some pictures of them with guns up their assholes? Exhaust pipes up their assholes? Maybe some doing a little fellatio on one another or better yet, to jesus?
That would be pretty great.
I would like to see how that would end.
I would assume some serious hypocrisy.

Hahaha. Perfect.
Nothing will go wrong, because the people leaving that Mosque will be deeply offended but will likely go about their day. Pathetic harassment.

On one hand, it's an extremely disrespectful, shit-stirring move clearly being done out of spite.
On the other (and not that this is any justification) I'm not sure this'd be happening in the first place, if the shooters from the previous incident just respected freedom of speech and didn't turn this into such an easy, hot-button, target.
Maybe it's hard for me to sympathize cause I'm not a regular church-goer, but I imagine if I was, (outside of being disturbed by them being armed) I don't think I'd give two shits about them drawing their stupid doodles. The power and impact of these drawings is directly hinged on how offended and worked up the targeting party gets.

Because they share the same religion though? This mosque, as far as we know had nothing to do with any of the previous shootings except that one of the shooters used to go there.
Really wanna know what would happen if some people went infront of a church and burnt one down. Don't think anybody would sit around and do nothing.
Let us know when someone gets murdered for drawing a biker.
I think he meant the other type of cross burning.

I don't know, do anti-abortion protesters normally bring guns with them under the expectation of there being a shootout?

big surprise here
How fast are they drawing that a fire could start?

Yeah I don't think the organizers care enough to make that distinction here. They're trying to make a statement (as misguided and tasteless as it may be) towards an entire group of people. :/
I know this would spiral into a completely different behemoth of a debate, but shit like this makes me wonder why more people don't support gun-control.
Honestly, I'd tell her and her family to not show up to the Mosque that day.
It's way too dangerous with those armed goons outside.
In fact, it would be great if no one is at the mosque while this event is happening :/

I mean who expects the protests to work? Seriously? Who expects people to stop reacting while being insulted. Political cartoons and thought out critiques are one thing. Fuck even insults are ok within reason. Post the drawn shit online. Put it in your front lawn. Mural your fucking car with it. Don't be intentionally antagonistic just to be antagonistic. Going to their place of worship, armed and insulting them is the epitome of being antagonistic for no good reason. It delivers no message. If anything it detracts from their supposed one.
Outrage is one thing. Has anyone been killed in the US for that "flag stomp challenge"?

Not really what I was getting at.
While these people putting on this "contest" are free to do so, I just want to know how they would react if the people they are antagonizing on purpose with this "contest" exercise the exact same right to have the same kind of "contest" to antagonize them in reverse.
I assume hypocrisy would ensue.
Has anyone had one in the US?
Yeah I texted them as soon as I hit post. I hope they don't. It isn't worth the risk.
What type was meant?
Sorry not American or christain so took it literally.
Tell her to lay low for the moment. Lots of things go wrong when bullets start flying.
Hope it never comes to that.

Wasn't that a thing a few weeks ago? 'Eric Sheppard challenge'?
Funny, it happens way more often than you think and most of the time nothing is indeed done
