Armed bigots again terrorize Texas Muslims - this time met by an anti-hate movement

Armed protesters again created chaos in Texas on Saturday by hunkering outside a mosque in Richardson that they falsely accused of terrorism.

The protesters, from volunteer group “Bureau of American Islamic Relations” (BAIR) brought firearms to the Islamic Association of North Texas, claiming the religious organization “has a documented history of funding terrorism” — a claim the Dallas Morning News could find no evidence for.

The group’s leader, David Wright, told the News the guns were to protect the group against Islamic extremists. But when pressed about the armed, mask-wearing men stalking people at their place of worship, he said he is “not a monster.”

“I do not like the fact that it may scare children or that it may scare women,” Wright told the News. “I do not like that at all. I’m not a monster.”
