Two gunmen attacked a "draw Muhammad" cartoon competition
and were shot dead.
The attack was
announced
in advance by a tweet which proclaimed it as an act of religious
terrorism.
Either the attackers were real murderous fanatics, or they pretended
to be murderous fanatics (but that is implausible).
The organizers of the cartoon contest were deliberately provocative,
but
not
violent.
Ms Geller is wrong about some things. There are millions of moderate
Muslims. Even fanatics don't suppose they can impose Islam on the US
in the short term.
What Muslim fanatics typically demand, in Europe and the US, is
"respect" for Islam,
respect
to a degree that no person or belief is entitled to.
Many Muslims who do not engage in violence nonetheless support this
demand. While their methods are not wrong, the demand is still wrong.
Persistently exercising the right to criticize Islam (and any other
religion whose adherents demand to silence criticism) is a valid way
to defend that right.
