    Do you know for a fact the mosque taught him messages of a hate?

    No.


    And a protest is not non-violent when the protesters are carrying guns and announce that.

    And they won't ride Jap bikes either. Maybe we should create a kickstarter for bikes made in Iran!

    Must suck living in countries who can't make their own cars, bikes and scooters, so must import higher technology. ...and don't make condoms either

    Why did we even give them the internets

    you mean non-violence right? Nonviolence is more than just the opposite of violence. You understand that right?

    Carrying a gun and saying you're carrying a gun isn't violence

    Unlike Garland (Islamic terrorism), Ferguson and Baltimore, no violence at this protest. Good job.

    Bringing guns into a tense situation saying you may need them to defend your rights is definitely not being nonviolent.

    The idea behind nonviolence is the willingness to take a hit for what you believe in.

    That fool shouldn't put MLK quote in his tag line and then talk about bringing guns to a rally as nonviolent. He has no clue.

    Jason Leger, a Phoenix resident wearing one of the profanity-laced shirts, accepted an invitation to join the evening prayer inside the mosque, and said the experience changed him.

    “It was something I’ve never seen before. I took my shoes off. I kneeled. I saw a bunch of peaceful people. We all got along,” Leger said. “They made me feel welcome, you know. I just think everybody’s points are getting misconstrued, saying things out of emotion, saying things they don’t believe.”

    Paul Griffin, who had earlier said he didn’t care if his t-shirt was offensive, assured a small crowd of Muslims at the end of the rally that he wouldn’t wear it again.

    “I promise, the next time you see me, I won’t be wearing this shirt,” he told one man while shaking his hand and smiling. “I won’t wear it again.”

    Usama Shami, the president of the ICCP, invited anyone to join him and the 800 members of the mosque for a prayer.

    “A lot of them, they’ve never met a Muslim, or they haven’t had interactions with Muslims,” he said. “A lot of them are filled with hate and rage. Maybe they went to websites that charged them with this hatred. So when you sit down and talk like rational people, without all these slogans, without being bigots, without bringing guns, they will find out that they’re talking to another human.”[/rquoter]
