Dearborn, Michigan Arab Festival

Wow, guys. This is not hate against Christians if you paid attention, and the OP is another example of how the media twists what actually is.

If you look, all the Muslim people are gathered in the center with Chrisitan (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s with their Jesus signs around them. What it appears to be is that the Muslim's had some sort of gathering and Christians just couldn't tolerate it, started heckling them, and so actually must have planned this ridiculous behavior beforehand because the signs are computer-generated. Notice how the camera does not show the crowds antagonizers.

FAIL.

 

Meh, shouting and shooting the bird is also free speech.

Let's face reality here, shall we? Whilst I do not condone violence, clearly the Christians were protesting something based wholly on their abject bigotry and ignorance. How do you suppose they would feel if Muslims showed up and protested them not on their actions but on their very being?

In short, sometimes, acting like an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) has adverse affects.

 

Because the protestors are ignorant, in bred rednecks who are unable to separate the religion from the ethnicity?

 

The Christians are there legally. There is no excuse for violence.

 

I do not doubt you for a second.

However, as an atheist with no particular affinity toward either religion and no need to defend mine, clearly they intent of the protestors was to be complete and total bigoted (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s.

 

A constitutional right is not "bigotry". Let's establish that fact at the outset.

 

Indeed, which is probably why I said in another post there is no excuse for violence.

 

Your personal beliefs have no bearing whatsoever. The Christians were not breaking any laws. The people who became violent are the lawbreakers.

 

You are correct kind sir or madam.

However, the protestors in the video clearly were there making ignorant and bigoted statements.

 

Good. We agree.

 

That is their right.

 

I never said the Christians broke any laws.

I said that not being a Christian, as I assume you are, and not being a Muslim, I have no need to defend or water down the intent and actions of the protestors, which you clearly are doing.

Both sides behaved poorly, including the alleged followers of Christ preaching their hatred.

 

That is their right.

 

I agree, what is up with those sad Christians using loud speakers and holding up their placards to disrupt a group celebrating their happiness in the US. Do they represent the ordinary Christians in the US? Have they nothing better to do?

 

No it was an Arab festival. And the Arab Muslims were throwing bottles, stones, and shooting birds at the Arab Christians who in turn were simply practicing their rights of free speech. The Arab Muslims threatened death to the Arab Christians who simply expressed their opinion that Mohammed was a minion of Satan. The Arab Muslims expect everyone else to abide to their Muslim faith even if they aren't of the Muslim faith.

 

Doesn't matter what their intent was. They broke no laws. The muslims did. You guys are going to have to wise up.

 

They were Arab Christians who were being threatened by Arab Muslims and having things thrown at them for daring to express their Arab Christian beliefs.

 

Yes, I agree, the Constitution allows folks to act like complete and total bigoted morons within the confines of the law. I applaud that. I like it when idiots announce themselves, as it save me form having to figure it out.

Additionally, I like it when Christians display their hatred and raging hypocrisy,a s it affirms my beliefs about that particular cult.

 

The Arab Christians were being threatened and stoned by Arab Muslims.

 

The Arab Atheist photographer got physically abused by the Arab Muslims.

 

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info.

 

Oh yes, it's the Christians in the video who are displaying raging hatred and raging hypocrisy. Yup, yup

 

Really? The photographer was "atheist"? How fascinating. How improbable.

 

'Think for Myself' why bother trying to explain yourself? Isn't it obvious that they will believe whatever they want to believe?

 

The Arab Christians had as much right to be at an Arab Festival as the Arab Muslims.
