Text Furthermore, and I really do not want this to be taken the wrong way, but I have to wonder, how different would the police have acted if that were a Iman preaching from the Qur'an with a camera?
I don't fully understand where your going with this comment ? Can you please be more specific?
Are you suggesting a "Muslim" would get more Leniency?

I don't know who is right on this one and will have to think on it for a bit.edit on 29-3-2014 by sheepslayer247 because: (no reason given)
what If it was someone expounding anything other than religion?
or is it all forms of peaceful freedom of speech you are unsure of?
every concept might 'bother' someone, is that now our bar for censorship?

Europe and the U.S. are two totally different places. I suggest you take a trip to Europe and see for yourself. I've seen plenty of Muslims with MEGAPHONES preach Islam.
I've also seen Muslims get preferential treatment as the government pussyfoots around them in fear of sparking an outrage. (Plenty of cases where this has happened, Google is your friend.)

to all those religious people out there...follow the religions that have been around the longest, and thus the wisest to the inner soul of man, those of the far east and India....they do not care if you join or not...in other words, "you will find them, they do not have to find you"
Christianity, Islam, Judaism are like 3-yr old petulant children....they are not wise enough, too loud and troublesome, irrational, and always demanding attention. knowing god and abiding by his wishes, requires no man or thing, it's what you internally feel, you either have it or you don't....that's it, everything else is to benefit others, not you.
