Those "protesting" in front of the mosque in AZ are helping the terrorists

I don't think unecessarily antagonistic is just my opinion. They could've staged an art event, like the one in Texas, away from people who might be offended by it. Choosing to protest across the street from a mosque is going out of your way to be obnoxious

Stripe's idea of not "bowing to the whims of murderers" is to try to alienate people in society that have nothing to do with murder and to abolish the first amendment in true anti-American fascist fashion:
Nope. It's called liberty. We know you hate it. People are allowed to hold signs, draw cartoons and carry guns. That you seek to gloss over the murderers who would attack such people shows where you stand.

Stripe once again fails to understand the difference between liberty to be an idiotic jerk who helps the terrorists (the protesters) vs. criticizing people for doing that. People have the liberty and freedom to be idiotic jerks that help the terrorists, I never once said otherwise.
It's most likely done to send the message to the radicals that we refuse to cater to their threats of terrorism. Do those who you speak of (law abiding Muslims) get offended? Probably. However, how is that any different than George Carlin's stand up comedy acts or things of a similar nature?
The difference is we are not so barbaric that we believe such actions justifies terrorism.
I am not saying that being offensive just to be offensive is something I always approve of but rather the principle behind it is more important.
Our free speech should trump the right of being censored because feelings might get hurt and some might become enraged.
Terrorist WANT to censor us. The only way to show unity against them is by telling them to stick it in their ear.

If it was about refusing to stand up to "threats of terrorism", then why would the "protesters" be holding up signs that say "No more Mosques" and "Stop Islam"?
Can you imagine the mob attacks and endless string of hate that would occur if a bunch of Muslims stood in front of a church armed with guns and held up signs that said "Stop Christianity" and "No more churches" and "stop the spread of the 10 commandments"? I would be shocked if one of them didn't get shot by doing that.

Your desperation to excuse the murderers has made you unable to put together simple English.

Your desperation to excuse hateful anti-American bigots who help the terrorists has made you unable to make simple moral judgments.

Did I once say that what they are doing should be illegal? No, nor has anyone else in this thread. So why bring it up?
Who is helping terrorists? :AMR:

I will try to explain, although I highly doubt you would even begin to understand.
The idea is that if the mainstream media displays hateful protests consistently, Muslims are more apt to be suspicious and fearful of the communities they are a part of. As such, the chance they will reach out to more "accepting" groups (terrorist organizations, for example), is much higher. It gives these groups fuel and allows them to easily create an "us vs them" mentality.
In short, these types of protests do nothing to help. If anything, they are only making an already unstable situation more dangerous. This is not to say they don't have the right to do it, but it does open them to some very serious consequences.
Right, like getting shot for being a terrorist.

I think your reading comprehension needs some work.
The difference is that those at George's stand-up act choose to be there. It isn't forced on them. And they can leave if they're offended, whereas the Muslims must worship at the mosque and can't just leave. The protesters could've staged an event not across from a mosque and invited anyone to attend. But instead they forced their event onto people who want no part of it.
Are you saying that all Muslims are murderers?
