HOUSTON [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Kevin-Byard-Jersey/]Kevin Byard Rush Jersey[/url] , May 5 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic State terrorist group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack on a controversial cartoon contest that left two gunmen dead in northern U.S. state of Texas Sunday night.


In a broadcast on its radio channel al-Bayan, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), or simply as the Islamic State, allegedly declared that "two soldiers of the caliphate" carried out the shooting outside a school arena in Garland [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Derrick-Henry-Jersey/]Derrick Henry Rush Jersey[/url] , a Dallas suburb, where a contest for cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad was being held.


"We tell America that what is coming will be even bigger and more bitter, and that you will see the soldiers of the Islamic State do terrible things," the group said in its statement.


Authorities cannot confirm if the gunmen were directly linked to the terror group. ISIS and other terror groups often take credit for attacks in which they were not involved to bolster their propaganda.


The two gunmen, identified as Elton Simpson and his roommate Nadir Soofi in a Phoenix apartment [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Austin-Johnson-Jersey/]Austin Johnson Rush Jersey[/url] , wearing body armors and armed with assault rifles, opened fire outside the Culwell Event Center in Garland Sunday night.


They did not make their way inside the arena before being shot dead by a traffic cop who was working off-duty security at the entrance of the site. An unarmed guard was injured by the gunmen but was released from hospital soon. No others were injured.


There were around 200 people inside the Culwell Event Center, many of whom did not hear the shooting or know what happened outside.


They were asked to stay sheltered before SWAT, FBI and a bomb squad cleared the scene. The squad made some small detonations to see if the car the gunmen used contained explosives. They ended up without finding any. Nearby businesses including a Walmart was evacuated as a precaution.


The Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest was organized by American Freedom Defense Initiative, listed as an anti-Muslim organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Jonnu-Smith-Jersey/]Jonnu Smith Rush Jersey[/url] , which tracks hate groups. The winner will be awarded with 10,000 U.S. dollars as a prize for the best cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad.


According to mainstream Islamic tradition, any physical depiction of the prophet Muhammad is considered blasphemous. The event, which was planned months ahead, had already drawn criticism from the Muslim community.


Simpson [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Corey-Davis-Jersey/]Corey Davis Rush Jersey[/url] , 31, was convicted of terrorism-related charges in 2011. The FBI had suspected him of trying to travel to Somalia to join Jihadist war there. He was then sentenced to only three years of probation and a small fine because there was no substantial proof.


Simpson's family washed their hands of the attack in a statement released late Monday by a law firm they chose.


"We are sure many people in this country are curious to know if we had any idea of Elton's plans," the statement says. "To that we say, without question, we did not."


The statement also says the family is "heartbroken and in a state of deep shock" and sends prayers to everyone affected by this "act of senseless violence."


The other gunman's family said they could not understand the motive behind the attack either.


"The hard thing is to comprehend is why he would do this and leave an 8-year-old son behind [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Rashaan-Evans-Jersey/]Rashaan Evans Rush Jersey[/url] ," Soofi's mother Sharon Soofi told the Dallas Morning News.


One of the key things that any parent ought to care of is their kid’s welfare especially during the cold weathers. You take care to make them wear sweaters and jackets and also make them wear woolen caps but what about their legs. In times of the chilly conditions, I can assure you that the normal shoes won’t be enough. The other fact is that making sure that the kids remain indoors is yet another challenge on its own as they are likely to venture out even when it is raining. This is the situation that calls for the use of the kid boots as they have both warmth and dryness which are both very vital. Unlike the adults that are sensible, the children will simply go to any place to matter how harsh the environment might be.


Kids get all the warmth and dryness that they require especially in rainy season and winters through ankle high boots. Any mom would tell you that kids are less careful about their health and think they can get away with rains and chilly windy conditions during winters without catching any infection. But it is your duty as their mom to ensure they have all the protection in the form of winter clothes and accessories. When it comes to footwear, it is kids who need even more protection than adults and thankfully, there are enough designs and patterns of kid boots available in the market to choose a pair for your kids. Of course you invariably have to given to the demands and whims of your kids [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Delanie-Walker-Jersey/]Delanie Walker Rush Jersey[/url] , but make sure that the boots they have finalized are also durable, comfortable, and look nice on your kids.


How you care and maintain the kid boots is perhaps one of the most vital tasks and yet still the most demanding. You know how playful kids can be, and for this reason you must make sure that the boots are easy to clean, are cozy [url=http://www.titansrookiestore.com/Titans-Marcus-Mariota-Jersey/]Marcus Mariota Rush Jersey[/url] , and provide all the warmth and dryness that you want from boots. Soles are also very important in case of kid boots because of their rough and tough playing conditions. I am sure that it would be quite a big disappointment for anyone to see the sole coming off after only a few months. In terms of the ideal designs that you should go for, it should not be the ones that are made of suede and also fur on the outside. At first, they may come across as shoes that are quite beautiful but the moment that they are rained on, they will be ruined completely and the shoes should not be fancy as such type are not known to withstand the both the mud and rainy conditions. You must look out for water proof, or at least water resistant boots that are easily wiped after you.
