Christians Attacked In Michigan!

[Incorruptible]

Peacefully protest the fact that the Muslims were there to celebrate a "religion of murder" according to one of the signs the protesters were carrying.

Like I said earlier I dont care what they were protesting about they still have the right to protest, we cant just choose what were going to allow people to protest, it would be a tremendous loss of freedom


It doesn't matter what the content was, its that they have a right to protest and freedom of speech, freedom of speech can never be denied

Just like how the westboro baptist church does something as despicable as protesting at FUNERALS OF FALLEN SOLDIERS, they still have the right to be there, THE POINT IS THAT FREEDOM CAN NEVER BE LIMITED

Why does it matter? The Christians along with the arabs have the right to protest, it doesn't matter what its about as long as they dont get violent or use force.

The occupy people had the right to protest PEACEFULLY so as long as they aren't getting violent or using force they have the right even though people disagree with them

I know in some locations you have to have a permit, did the Christians need and/or have one?

WND later learned that the Christian crowd had been carrying a pole with a pig’s head attached to the top, further angering the Muslim crowd. At the beginning of the video, Christian street preachers shout, “God is good, and God is not Allah!”

WTF? OP thinks this was peaceful?

In that case, the KKK burning crosses in black families' front yards is considered "peaceful".

sure it can.

THE POINT IS THAT FREEDOM CAN NEVER BE LIMITED

Freedom is limited all the time. You can't run around shooting people. Every law we have is a limitation on actual freedom.

How old are you? I'm serious. I normally see this kind of misguided idealism with the 15-18 year olds in high school that I work with. They think everything is black and white, and they make statements like this too.

"You can't limit FREEDOM!" Try driving 120 on the freeway.
"Abortion is EVIL!" Try telling that to the family of 5 whose mother it saved.
"Religion is HORRIBLE!" Try telling that to the millions of people whom are served food every week because of religious generosity.

So tell us - how old are you?

They have a right to protest but if they're protesting in a manner which a reasonable person could conclude would lead to violence (which in this case a severed pighead on a pole might) then my sympathy for the protesters goes down.

THE POINT IS THAT FREEDOM CAN NEVER BE LIMITED

yes it can... go into a crowded theater and yell fire... then talk about freedom of speech if there is a panic and someone gets injured....

 

[Incorruptible]

I was talking about the Christians and there freedom to protest, not doing anything you want, you cant yell fire in a theater

 

[zinfamous]

"Incorruptible" claims to despise the WBB, and their loathsome acts at soldiers' funerals, yet supports the notion that they have the right to do so (I concur, of course.)


I wonder, then, how OP, and others, would react if in one of their attempts to protest, their actions incited a riot, and many WBB members were injured, maybe even a few of them killed?

Would it be wrong to hope for what all of you (and myself) are pretty much hoping happens to them?

Would this hypothetical story have been treated the same way, garnered the same reaction from the same people as the story in this thread?

:hmm:

What are your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist protests?

It's not wise to put phrases like "you cant limit freedom" in caps then.

As I've said they have a right to protest but if you're going to go to a religious gathering and call the religion in question a "religion of murder" or hold a sign with words to that effect then a reasonable person would realize that violence could ensue.

Given that possibility of violence in regards to the protesters signs and other things; while they have the right to protest I'm not very sympathetic to them when their "boohoo waaaaahhh they're throwing rocks and things at us" video pops up.

 

[zinfamous]

The "attack on Christianity" is one of the biggest farces of today's cultural wars.

boo-fucking-hoo.

Do Christians not understand that if it weren't for the "Christian" minorities that are the loudest of their bunch (WBB, pig-head jesus man, supporters of an unconstitutional theocracy trying to cram religion into legislature and public education (Bryan Fischer and his ilk), etc), most of us wouldn't give a dick about Christians?

Deal with your riff-raff, then we'll talk.

Don't deflect towards Islam and their internal problems with fundamentalists; clean out your own fundy house, first.

Then we'll talk.


...or is it that you want these people out there--are they ones that aren't afraid to say what you want to say, what you truly believe?

:hmm:

Wait, the police threaten the majority community to "protect" the rowdy and violent minority?

Are you sure this didn't happen in India?

Yet, it is great to see Abrahamics going at it. Please, do us a favor and record it in HD. It makes for some great entertainment. Let me get some popcorn.

which is the "majority community," and which is the minority in this story?

I am trying to wrap my head around your assertion, because it currently makes no sense to me.

Don't spend much time analyzing his posts. Just keep in mind the fact that he considers anyone that is not Hindu to be an untouchable.

Deaborn Michigan a community of Arabic / Muslim / etc. This was an Arab/Muslim/Indian festival. They are the majority. You have no clue what you're talking about.

Actually, freedom to protest is limited as well. In some cases, you need a permit. Also, in some cases, you must clear it with the local authorities. There are also laws surrounding how you can protest - i.e. you can't trespass on private property, you can't disturb the peace of surrounding communities, etc.

So, how old are you again?

You don't seem to be able to think through even the most basic of your..... "arguments".

 

[child of wonder]

Nothing funnier than groups of people arguing and protesting over whose imaginary friend is real.

In this story, the "majority" are christians (in the US) and the minority are muslims.

In India, many "protests" by minorities, aka Abrahamic scum, are immediately protected by the police and any reaction, even in protection, by the majority community (Hindus), is taken as an "assault" on the minorities. This is called "minorityism". Nowhere else in the world is it as prevalent as in India.

Of course, the majority community in India are too cowardly to throw pig parts at mosques or provoke them like these bible-thumping apes here did. In fact, mooslums in India (and even Malaysia) have thrown remains of cows and other slaughtered animals on temple premises. No riots even then. If there is a riot, the police will immediately protect the "minority".

Here's a private citizen's footage of one such riot a couple of years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTk_P8bmlw4

mooslums started rioting when Hindus were having a religious festival; nothing to do with mooslums. Yet, they threw rocks at the Hindus and attacked their places of worship etc.. causing a lot of damage.. police came on the scene.. attacked the Hindus for fighting back.. and not a peep in the national (let alone international) media about this riot!

That's what I was getting at - the minorities can never do any wrong. If there ever is some problem, the majority community is always to blame.
