The Muhammad Cartoon Contest event was well publicised. Normally something like this would attract protests from Muslims and their sympathizers explaining how drawing an image of Muhammad is an insult to the religion of peace and therefore shouldn’t be done.
It’s a question. Where were they?

Great question! It was indeed a well-organized absence.
It would easy to equate this question with the question “Where were all the Jews who worked in the Twin Towers on 9-11?” which carries with it a nonsensical accusation. But this particular question is NOT nonsensical. Plenty of rational (if despicable) individuals would agree with the Islamic doctrinal underpinnings for an attack against the perceived defamation of Muhammad.
The 9-11 question also makes the claim that Jews did NOT show up for work. Without an exhaustive study of Twin Towers workers cross referenced with both their religion and whereabouts on 9-11, that claim is unprovable in either direction. It’s main purpose is to defame. In contrast, the lack of protesters outside the Garland convention center needs no more proof than observation. Considering how often high profile and loud protests are the modus operandi of Muslim apologists, and how widely advertised this event was advertised, it is reasonable to ask why the usual crowd wasn’t outside. And very necessary for law enforcement to answer.
