ISIS-Connected Islamists Say Something Scary About Phoenix Mosque Protest
As reported by Western Journalism, armed bikers are planning to protest outside of a Phoenix mosque Friday evening. Now, one of the organizers of the event, Jon Ritzheimer, states he has received death threats against himself and his family.
He wrote on Facebook Thursday night:
Credible threats being made and now having to move my family into hiding. Real nice Islam. Thank you for showing your true colors. I have not made any threats nor do I condone any threats. I’ve been preaching peace this whole time and once again Islam shows its lack of tolerance for others freedom. I will say that I think this cartoon contest is completely stupid, but this is all to show what Islam is about. The only one threatening with violence and that has a track record of it is them. Rally going on as planned.
Ritzheimer emphasized he does not want violence at the rally; “I WANT PEACE,” he wrote on Facebook.
Over 1000 people have indicated on Facebook that they plan to attend the event, which has caused Phoenix police to be working feverishly to ensure the public’s safety. The police may close roads in the vicinity, and area businesses and other organizations have been notified.
“We’re working hard with our federal partners and other city departments to make sure we have enough officers; road closures. I think it’s going to be a traffic nightmare among other things,” Phoenix Police Chief Joe Yahner said.
The Islamic Community Center, where the protest will take place, is located in the north part of the city just off the busy I-17 freeway, a few miles south of Phoenix’s Metro Center Mall.
The Denny’s restaurant parking lot, where the rally attendees plan to gather before going to the mosque, plans to close for a few hours Friday evening.
One Islamist posted Ritzheimer’s home address online.
Another issued a death threat against those attending the rally.
In the Facebook event post, Ritzheimer encouraged event attendees to bring their firearms. “This Islamic Community Center is a known place that the 2 terrorist(s) [responsible for the Texas attack] frequented. People are also encouraged to utilize (their) second amendment right at this event just (in case) our first amendment comes under the much anticipated attack.”
Ariz. Gov. Doug Ducey hopes common sense will prevail at the event.
“Of course I’m a believer in free speech and the First Amendment. I’m also a believer in good judgment and common sense,” he told local CBS affiliate KPHO.
