If anyone from a non-Christian religion did that at a cultural or ethnic festival in NYC, we’d hear screaming in California.

The thing is that it’s just RUDE. People who think they have some special license to preach like this are just opportunists who find a way to justify their love of bullying. IMHO

If a Christian group did THE EXACT SAME THING at an Israel Festival in West Bloomfield, Pamela would be singing a different song.

“Freedom of Speech” also means Freedom to Get the Fuck Out of My Face.

These nutcases really want Religious Freedom only for Christians, don’t they?

We aren’t even allowed to object to them anymore.

Oh, certainly. Thing is though: rights are there for assholes just as much as they’re there for you and me (I’ll leave it up to the reader how much of a difference that is :) ); by taking this kind of action (from what I’ve read of it) you lower yourself to(wards) their level. Not a good thing.
Yeah, they’re a bunch of dipshits. They had the right to be dipshits without being arrested, though.
One thing in defense of Dearborn: they went about it in a very civil manner, not going all the way over the top as I’m sure would happen in many cases were the roles reversed.

True, but arrested in a civil manner is still arrested. Dearborn might well have won a trial but the city decided, as is often the case, that it just wasn’t worth the grief and risk. Settling with assholes is always unfortunate, because it emboldens them, but it often is the right play.

Not just the right play; they actually were within their rights here. Again: rights are there for assholes as well. I’m happy they are. Aren’t you?

re: #7 ThomasLite

Thing is, these asshole want to, and are working towards, taking those rights from Muslims in this country.

So? It’s all good, as long as the guys you don’t like are the ones getting their rights trampled? Great mentality you’ve got going there.

We aren’t even allowed to object to them anymore.

And yet, here you are objecting to them.
