Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A man who had been investigated as a terrorist by the FBI and his roommate attempted to storm a “Draw Muhammad” contest near Dallas with automatic weapons but were gunned down by security before they were able to harm any civilians.
Elton Simpson had been the subject of a terrorism investigation and had been convicted five years ago of lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Somalia. A judge said that they couldn’t officially prove that he was attempting to join a terror group and given probation.
The gunmen had been living in Phoenix.
ISIS terrorists have been calling for an attack on the contest for more than a week. An ISIS fighter posted on Twitter after the attack “two pro-ISIS individuals” had carried out the attack.
‘They Thought They Was Safe In Texas From The Soldiers of The Islamic State,’ added the tweet.
A security guard was hit by the terrorist’s shots but was treated and released from a local hospital. Moments after the start of the assault, a Garland, Texas police officer shot both terrorists dead.
‘With what he was faced with and his reaction and his shooting with a pistol, he did a good job,’ Harn said of the officer.
‘He did what he was trained to do, and under the fire that he was put under, he did a very good job and probably saved lives. We think their strategy was to get into the events center and they were not able to get past that outer perimeter.’
Elton Simpson’s father released a statement saying that his son “made a bad choice.”
“We are Americans and we believe in America,” Dunston Simpson said. “What my son did reflects very badly on my family.”
The whole thing sounds like a set up to me to weed out potential terrorists and radical Muslims; in which case, I’m glad it succeeded but I’m so sorry for the Muslims that have died without salvation. This is a free country and if someone wants to make a cartoon they should be allowed; but they also have to take some blame for it because two Muslims have died without Christ in their lives and no more opportunity to receive salvation. This is America! Do we want to flex our freedom of speech to make cartoons or to preach the gospel of salvation to the lost?
To the cartoonists I say, Better them than you: this is America, land of liberty! But do you really want to use your freedom of speech for such foolishness while those who preach the gospel of salvation in Christ and him alone pine away and are tortured in Muslim prisons giving their lives for the sake of the gospel of Jesus Christ?
its going to get worse as the day goes by
