PHOENIX (AP) — About 500 protesters gathered outside a Phoenix mosque on Friday as police kept two groups sparring about Islam far apart from each other.

The rally initially was organized by a Phoenix man who says he is a former Marine who fought in the Iraq War and believes Islam is a violent religion. He led about 250 people who carried pistols, assault rifles, American flags and drawings of Muhammad to the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix.

That group was met by an equally sized group of protesters, some holding signs promoting love and peace, who came to show their support for the mosque and Muslim community.

As the two sides argued and yelled, dozens of police officers formed a line between them and kept them separated. There were no reports of injuries or arrests at the protest, which lasted a couple of hours and gained attention around the country on social media. Phoenix police estimated about 500 protesters showed up, roughly 250 on each side.

The protest came about month after a shootout outside a Muhammad cartoon-drawing contest in a Dallas suburb. Two Phoenix men showed up at the event with assault rifles and were killed by police. The men formerly worshipped at the Phoenix mosque where Friday’s protest took place.

Drawings of Muhammad are deemed insulting to many followers of Islam and have sparked violence around the world.

A group of Arizona bikers have had enough of radical Muslims, so they decided they’re going to do something about it, but as you can imagine, they’re not being too well received.

On Friday, May 29 in Phoenix, Jon Ritzheimer will lead a group of bikers to the Islamic Community Center for the “Freedom of Speech Rally Round 2,” according to 12News. The event is a “PEACEFUL protest in front of the Islamic Community Center in Phoenix,” and it is intended to draw attention to the violent core of Islam, Ritzheimer said.

“I want this to be about pushing out the truth about Islam,” said Ritzheimer. “I’ve read the Koran three times… the ones flying the planes into the tower, those are Muslims following the book as it is written.”

“This is in response to the recent attack in Texas where 2 armed terrorist, with ties to ISIS, attempted Jihad,” a Facebook page created for the protest stated. “Everyone is encouraged to bring American Flags and any message that you would like to send to the known acquaintances of the 2 gunmen.”

Ritzheimer calls on others “to utilize there [sic] second amendment right at this event just incase our first amendment comes under the much anticipated attack,” and he warned that the mosque is “a known place that the 2 terrorist [sic] frequented.” For those unaware, Ritzheimer is referencing the two jihadists, Nadir Soofi and Elton Simpson, who opened fire at the free speech event in Garland, Texas. Both were shot and killed by police before they were able to take anybody’s lives.

The group plans to gather in a nearby Denny’s parking lot, where they plan a “Muhammad cartoon contest,” then depart to the Islamic center with the images in hand at 6:15, the same time Muslims attend for prayer, the Bridge Initiative reported. But as would be expected, members of the mosque don’t appear to have the same type of enthusiasm as Ritzheimer for calling out the radical sects of their religion.

The Islamic center’s president, Usama Shami, said he was notified by the police and FBI about the event, and that while he respects others’ right to free speech, he doesn’t think the demonstration is appropriate.

“Everybody has a right to be a bigot. Everybody has a right to be a racist. Everybody has a right to be an idiot,” Shami said. He also said that he’s encouraging members of the mosque to attend prayer as scheduled.

“It will be the same as every Friday evening and we’re going to tell our members what we’ve told them before: not to engage them,” said Shami. “They’re not looking for an intellectual conversation. They’re looking to stir up controversy and we’re not going to be a part of it.”

 As of this writing, 153 people have committed to joining the event this Friday, and that number appears to be slowly growing.
