What do you mean "infiltrating"?? Do they OWN the public property they are demonstrating at? Is deerborne a Muslim canton within America???
NO and NO. ANYONE can protest at any place they want, as long as they do so peacefully.
And when you say "looking for a fight" the SAME EXACT THING may be argued about the neo-nazis who support a movement that murdered 6 million Jews. If that's not "looking for a fight" but this is, you have a very twisted idea of morality.

What protest isnt looking to cause trouble or incite some kind of response? I'm sure you all would support throwing rocks at gay people who protest, because gee some people don't agree with their position.
You all are a good reminder of how tyranny comes to power. Every single one of you would stomp an iron boot on those you disagree with if you had the power to do so.
Negative. Gay people protesting are trying to raise awareness about their civil rights.
These guys are purposefully going to a Muslim festival to promote hate.
We have freedom of speech in this country. However not all speech is protected.
Yelling fire in a crowded theater is not speech that's protected by the constitution.
Intentionally holding a sign saying that Mohammed is a child molesting pervert is IMO not covered under freedom of speech.

Anyone who can't see how the Muslim side is wrong here doesn't know a thing about how the American constitution is supposed to work. If Muslims don't like, please, feel free to go back to their Muslim countries.

Ever heard of a white/asian riot in the USA? Go and find a few links to support your rebuttal, bet I'll find more for mine.
Actually, that carnival was issued a permit by the city to be used for their festival. They were leasing it, and as such, hold certain property rights under Michigan law. A
They infiltrated the festival grounds to protest, which wasn't covered under the permit festival organizers obtained.

Even if this could be considered inciting a riot (which it couldnt, holding an insulting sign does not qualify as any riot incitement), still those christians are morally superior by far.
riot inciters >>> actual rioters
Stop trying to excuse those violent savages. This is not about muslims vs. christians or any religions, it is about civilised human beings vs. violent subhumans.

"to do an act or engage in "to do an act or engage in conduct that urges other persons to commit acts of unlawful force or violence" "
ughh... Clearly you have never read a book on law.
That article is incredibly vague... and since it is vague, we have to determine what constitutes ""to do an act or engage in conduct that urges other persons to commit acts of unlawful force or violence". Hence, why I made the distinction earlier between a moral provocation and a physical act of violence. The latter obviously qualifies as an act that incites violence. Now, between a peaceful gathering and a physical act of violence is the "gray area": the gray area usually refers to acts that are verbal which incite violence. For instance, not personally engaging in but calling for violence. That would definitely be an infringement of that article in the law.
How many times have Christians demonstrated outside a scientology center? Or for that matter, why are neo-Nazis permitted to walk the streets of Chicago, INTO JEWISH NEIGHBORHOODS - and this, much more egregiously immoral act of "free expression" is generally tolerated, but this more benign demonstration against Islam, albeit, not morally defensible, is not protected by the constitutional right of free speech?
Explain to me how the former is defensible but not the latter. Have fun with that.
