I bet you think that if I called you ugly, and you didn't like it, you have the right to attack me... If you want to have a law dictate your actions, maybe you should understand that it works for both parties. I can say what I want and so can you. Or are you, such as the video noted, implying that violent acts deserve reward?

I don't know but that did not sound like something I would imagine a christian would say to a child... but then with some you can never tell their interpretation so I let it go... but it might make more sense if those guys arent actually Christian.edit on 28-6-2012 by OpinionatedB because: (no reason given)
Really?
Try to make racist remark or just question number of Jews that were killed in concentration camp, and I wonder how far will you last with your freedom.

I don't understand what you are trying to say? People question that all the time, even here on ATS. People make fun of Jews in sitcoms, comedy skits, and in real life. Have you ever seen Southpark? Those writers still have their freedom.
Again, there is a HUGE difference in just making a remark or being skeptical about something, compared to harassing and intimidating people.

Great example chiten!
Since ATS loves to bash on cops, just imagine doing those things to a cop, and what would the backlash be? If I casually cruise by a cop and tell him he's ugly, I'll get some eye-rolling, they are used to a little abuse. If I scream at him and follow him around, I'm surely getting tazed, cuffed, and taken in for some charges!
These Christians were harassing people, and those people lashed back at them, which is perfectly human, and in my opinion justified.

Okay, so I go to a christian festival while wearing a t-shirt with Richard Dawkins on it, and I have a sign saying 'There's No God'. Do the Christians have a right to throw stuff at me? Am I a troublemaker simply by voicing my beliefs? I don't think so. There may be heated arguments, and that's fine. But those individuals causing violence are the ones that should be arrested. Violence is against the law; freedom of speech isn't.
Of course there is a shade of gray that eventually crosses the line, but where is the line? I don't know, but I know it when I see it. What you describe would be perfectly acceptable, but if you had a megaphone, shouting that they were all evil trash destined to burn in a fiery pit, and you scared the children and old people and made it impossible for anyone to enjoy themselves, then someone should shut you up.
Obviously I don't know everything, and I'm not always right, but I know where I would draw a line, and where I would take it upon myself to put a stop to something.
Some of those Muslims should've been arrested for hitting those people with rocks and whatever.

That is the problem, a significant proportion of Muslims practicing Islam DO believe in those violent passages. Just your post alone would target you for death.
You will have to prove your comment. You will gave to prove that an atser will be targeted for death over his comment by Muslims.
I cannot, then you are a liar.
Also what Muslims believe about their faith is strictly their business and not yours especially when you have a reputation for not being truthful.

It is because of the murder drone that they would kill you for and not because of some asinine comment you make on ats.
