Re: That video disturbed me enough that I tried to figure out why anyone would do that. moondog Send a noteboard - 13/03/2011 06:59:22 AM
From what I can tell, the primary reason for the disgusting protests was that one of the speakers was supposedly a radical Islamist. If that is true, I don't have a problem with that particular person being harassed for his hateful views, but not the congregation, who was going there to raise money for shelters.

Of course, if we allow Westboro Baptist Church to protest at military funerals then we have to allow this sort of thing, repulsive as it is.


the speaker seems to have been a pretty moderate muslim from what i can tell. the protest seemed to be about completely misinterpreting a situation then proclaiming the nut-job position as if it were truth. "uh, they're muslims, and muslims in other countries follow sharia law, therefore they must be having a fundraiser to buy their way into government so they can impose sharia law on all of us against our will!"
