Tense protest at Dallas mosque after "protestors" show up with guns and masks

[kail]

No laws were broken, so not too much to discuss. If anything that protesting group just made themselves look overly extreme and stupid. It's nice to see how gun rights are excised by both groups.

[stabetha]

Is this like the KKK only with Muslims?

there were no Muslims involved in this what so ever
This was "the nation of islam" a hate group that latched on to the word "Islam" the same way extremists in the Middle East do

this is what Muslims have to say about the NoI

Wait, do you take issue with the guns? the masks? or people exercising their right to free speech?

Wait, so you don't think it's a problem that they're trying to intimidate people from practising their religion?

Wait, so you think the nation of Islam has anything to do with religion?
Here's what the civil rights group the southern poverty law group has to say about them

Since its founding in 1930, the Nation of Islam (NOI) has grown into one of the wealthiest and best-known organizations in black America. Its theology of innate black superiority over whites and the deeply racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay rhetoric of its leaders have earned the NOI a prominent position in the ranks of organized hate.

Why do you think this hate group is protesting there?

[Dendrek]

How can this be called a "protest"? Normally, when you protest it's because you want something to change. So what do they want to change, exactly? They want Muslims to not live there? They want Muslims to stop being Muslims? If so, they're morons. If not, they're morons. That's like protesting the existence of gay people. Not particular activities they're engaged in -- just protesting the fact that they exist. What the fuck is that supposed to achieve? This is just them standing around saying "We hate you and we want you to know it." THAT'S DEFINITELY HOW YOU STOP TERRORISM GUYS. Grats on your third grade education. Did you at least get a smily face sticker before you dropped out to marry your sister?

Because the nation of Islam is a violent anti Semitic, anti gay, black power group

That's kind of not actually an answer.

Brb. I'm going to be outside protesting ants because I don't like them any more than this group likes Muslims.

[Moralgy]

Since when did standing outside a place armed with stuff masking your identity become a protest? Did they at least not have ammo with them so they just looked scary? That is like "call the cops and get everyone you can out the back door" mode in my mind.

You know if a bunch of muslims rolled up on a christian church in masks with guns, these people would be flipping their shit.

This is what I was about to post.

But its OK, because these are white people.

the Nation of Islam is not a Muslim group they are a violent anti gay anti Semitic black supremist group

Why am I not surprised that certain people here are defending a group that preaches the innate superiority of the black race and the the old world European belief that the Jews are behind all the evils in the world

You can completely disagree with a group, but resorting to intimidation with subtle threats of violence is pretty shitty. I hate groups like the westboro baptist church, but I would never be okay with a group "protesting" them like this. Drop the guns and concealing your identity and protest with your ideas, not your weapons.

This is a very one sided article. The New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam movement are just as bad as these masked men, it wasn't like they stood outside a random mosque.

Its a news story about a specific event. Why does it have to mention some group that has nothing to do with it?

These thugs also showed up to another place which was receiving refugees. They aren't good guys no matter how you try to paint it.

Here is a typical picture of the one of the innocent groups being oppressed...

The part that I find funny is that them chanting "Black Power!" is treated as somehow different than a group of masked white people chanting "White Power!"

[Jinpachi]

Did you also know those "so many Dallas natives" who showed up "to protect the freedom" and so on were actually the New Black Panther party? They weren't Jim Tom and Billy Bob and John Ross and other "Dallas natives" you might be thinking of.

The point is, when one of these armed redneck hick douchebag groups such as BAIR meets armed Black Panthers, and the result is ~50 dead people, will we see Tennisace here gleefully cheering for people "protecting freedom"?

50 dead panthers. There, i corrected it for you.

I'm not painting anyone as "good guys" but I'm also not trying to paint one of the most vile racist groups in America as peace loving Muslims either.

This is pretty ridiculous. They show up with guns to protest? And masks?
It's great to see that so many Dallas natives showed up to protect the freedom to practice religion though.

It was more of a white vs black thing. The main reason for this clash is because what street the Mosque was on....Martin Luther King DR.


Also old news.
