Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas

cosm writes: ABC news reports that two armed gunman were shot and killed outside a "Draw the Prophet" event hosted in Garland Texas. From the article: "The event, sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, featured cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, and scheduled speakers included Dutch MP Geert Wilders, who has campaigned to have the Quran banned in the Netherlands. The winner of the contest was to receive $10,000." In light of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks, the Lars Vilks Muhammad drawing controversies, and the American show South Park's satirical depiction of the state of Muhammad phobia in the US and elsewhere, is there an end in sight to the madness associated with the representation of this religious figure?

    two armed gunman

    What other kind of gunman is there? If they were unarmed they couldn't be gunmen. I guess it could mean two-armed gunmen, in which case all is forgiven.

    Anybody who wants a virgin has never had one.

    Well, if you die for Allah fighting the unholy followers of Jehovah you get 72 perpetual virgins with all the incessent female nagging that comes with them. If you die for Jehovah fighting the unholy followers of Allah you get to wear a white man-dress, a hoop hat, a set of wings and then you get to spend a joyful eternity sitting on a cloud and playing a harp. I suppose it your agony of choice boils down to how much you like harp music.

    you guys know its a several hundred year old typo, right?

    the corrected script actually says "72 YEAR OLD virgin". and you get one of them, just one.
