This past weekend, about a dozen members of a group calling itself the Bureau of American Islamic Relations protested in front of the Islamic Center of Irving, a local mosque. They had guns. They had a flag. They had a Ted Cruz sign and one that read “Stop the Islamization of America.”
“It’s a boiling pot,” one man who declined to give his name to Fox 4 news said. “The kettle…the top on this kettle is on really really tight and it is going to blow.”
The kettle, however, did not.

It was a strange protest, held at a strange time in a suburb strangely relevant to America’s brand of anti-Islamic politics.”
