Xenophobic gun nuts stalked Muslims at a Texas mosque worried about refugees and Sharia Law.

The group, calling itself the Bureau of American Islamic Relations, stationed itself outside the Islamic Center of Irving carrying signs with messages like, “Stop the Islamization of America,” according to the Dallas Morning News. A video taken at the mosque shows a man dressed in black with his face masked carrying a rifle.

The group’s leader told the News they were upset because they had heard rumors of a Sharia court at the mosque and the prospect of letting Syrian refugees in. They also claimed members of the local Muslim community had made death threats against Irving’s mayor, Beth Van Duyne, earlier this year. The News found no evidence that this claim was true.

When asked by the News why his group was armed, organizer David Wright said the weapons were “mostly for self protection,” but then added, “But I’m not going to lie. We do want to show force. We’re not sitting ducks.”

He then added,“We don’t want people to think we’re out to kill people or shoot people. It would be ridiculous to protest Islam without defending ourselves.”

    Is the synagogue next on the list…Catholic Church?? what next from these brown shirts…and Texans wonder why the rest of the country looks at them as being the rectum of the nation

    What happened to innocent until proven guilty, these are the types of action that turns Muslims into Terrorist, by treating them as if they are rabid dogs! Then the right will say “Why are they acting like this towards us”!

    The new face of the Klan. They used to bomb Black churches, now they intimidate peaceful Muslims gathering to worship.

    They are right-wing scum who must be stamped out.

      Next they’ll be targeting synagogues and the wrong kind of xtian churches…

    The only country in the world where the regular citizen can walk around city streets in groups carrying assault rifles, I guess.

    The group’s leader told the News they were upset because they had heard rumors of a Sharia court.

    Kind of like groups of nice white boys used to hear about a negro making eye contact with a white woman.

    Nutjob baggers whining about Sharia courts are obviously ignorant of Catholicism and Judaism.

      But just like the Japanese-Americans were interned mainly because they looked different, (Germans looked like the rest of us) so the Muslims are looked on with suspicion because a lot of them look different. Catholics look like everyone else. It’s easy to single out Muslims. If they could identify Catholics by their looks, they would go after them too.

        So what you’re telling me is that inbred xenophobic nutjobs are too damned stupid to recognize “St. Mary’s of the Thus and Such” as a Catholic church? Wait, I think I just answered my own question…

        • Larry Schmitt November 22nd, 2015 at 12:52

          I don’t necessarily mean the church buildings, although that’s not out of the question, I meant the Catholics themselves. The bigots seem to be breeding like rats. And they’re just as disgusting.

    Self protection from what? Where was the threat? There is certainly no threat of a thought invading their tiny little minds. Let them form a circular firing squad, then we’re done with them.

    Where were the authorities to arrest these armed lunatics? Does someone have to die before the police will do their jobs? It appears white armed gangs can threaten and do anything they want in texas.

    Typical gun toting cowards.
    Hey Goober want to go fight real terrorists?

    • Larry Schmitt November 22nd, 2015 at 13:32

      You had your chance, Ted.

  11. Chris November 22nd, 2015 at 13:33

    Yes, because the news is just filled with American Muslims flooding out of their mosques with both barrels blazing.

  12. maggie November 22nd, 2015 at 13:50

    masked, armed (loaded) domestic terrorists going after americans Obama you can put this down with certitude…prosecute, prosecute, prosecute….there’s no moral cloudiness or confusion here…just bad guys threatening to do harm to unarmed innocent people at random.

    Who needs terrorists when we have xenophobic morons.

    Protests by armed bed-wetters. Ah, Amerika.. Land of the Twit and Home of the Racist.

  15. thinkingwomanmillstone November 22nd, 2015 at 18:52

    Where are the police? How quickly would they be there if armed Muslim citizens who legally owned guns did this in front of a Baptist church? What a bunch of embarrassing frightened little uninformed bigots.
