Attack on Cartoon Exhibit in Garland

May 11, 2015

On May 3rd, 2015, a group of people gathered for a cartoon exhibit depicting the prophet Mohammad was attacked by two jihadists in Garland, Texas. Some have decried the event as a purposeful provocation of Muslims, while others see it as a fundamental right to freedom of speech. Are the organizers of the event anti-Muslim bigots or should their actions be understood as a fight against the Islamization of America? Is organizing a cartoon competition of Mohammad irresponsible behavior and are such actions "Islamophobic"? What exactly is "Islamophobia"? Are the Garland drawings of Mohammad similar to the Charlie Hebdo caricatures? In this week's podcast, we discuss the Garland attack and the questions that transpired from this event.
