'Peaceful' protest, American style!

This is nothing like the Christian bakery case because the law is not compelling the Muslims to do anything. Compelling a Muslim baker to put an image of Mohamed on a cake would be more like it.

I have actually wondered when someone will try that. It would basically be a facsimilie of the Gay Cake row and thus, should have an identical outcome unless offending strongly held Islamic beliefs is a greater crime than offending Christian ones.

That sounds like a good idea, where can I find my local muslim bakery?

Maybe I can ask for them to put it on a pig shaped cake, too.

And this isn't?

Sure criticise and mock ideologies and religious figures if you want but I'm not sure this is the way to do it..

Bearing in mind that the intention is to obey the law, why is it not the right way?

What is the right way, IYO?

It's not the right way because it's intimidatory. As bigoted and hateful as Islamic ideology is, 'protesting' against it in a bigoted and hateful way doesn't help. What is the right way? I don't know but perhaps a start would be to lose the machine guns and pro-Nazi clothing.

I keep thinking of the Black Widows in the Clint Eastwood Any Which Way films.They seem less intelligent too.

Unpleasant scenario, but I would like to think they have every right to protest.

Whether they can do so without physically intimidating the mosque goers is another matter.
