On May 3, 2015 in response to a jihadist Muslim meeting held in Garland, Texas after the ''[[Charlie Hebdo]]'' magazine massacre, Geller held a drawing contest of Mohammed, pictorial representations of whom is regarded as prohibited by some in the Muslim religion, at the same venue.  During the meeting two jihadist Muslims from Phoenix had arrived armed to engage in a terrorist attack against Geller and the participants.  They were both killed by police officers, but managed to shoot a security guard before being stopped.

The response by most commentators in the media to the event offered tepid support at best to Geller if not blame, despite the fact that through preparing for the risks involved, she had engaged and defeated the same type of jihadists who had murdered the twelve Parisian employees of the ''Charlie Hebdo'' magazine whose free speech rights she was championing through the gathering, as the magazine had also presented drawings of Mohammed and consequently inspired an enormous outpouring of support bearing the motto "Je suis ''Charlie''" after the massacre.  At least one conservative journalist noted the probable reason for the unanimated reception by journalists was that she did not also commission drawings critical of religious figures such as Jesus regarded as enemies of leftist journalists as ''Charlie Hebdo'' had.
