if the protestor really wanted to troll this guy he would rock a muhammad shirt

I am all for protesters. If that's what you want to do, you have the freedom to do it, and go for it.

But, OK, this guy is protesting at the candidate's home? And he's protesting because he's Muslim? What, is there no solid issue that could be debated that is a reason to not vote for him? So he doesn't want him in office because he's muslim? And he doesn't think this is "intrinsically hateful"? What the eff evar.

Hating on someone because of JUST their religion FTL.

Now, if the guy exhibited Fundamentalist tendencies, then I'd understand protesting. Just like if he was a Satanist. Or a Moonie. Or some other outlying religion that would have questionable ethics in being in office, then protesting for that religion would be understandable.

What on earth does Cindy Sheehan have to do with this? She can protest all she wants, that's her right. This guy has that right. But what he is protesting, in my opinion, is lame.


I don't need the welcome, I already know that. But this isn't happening in the middle east.

Pretty lame to protest someone outside of their house simply because they're a different religion..

Maybe this guy should move to a nation where freedom of religion isn't welcomed

That's what I don't get. So he's muslim? So what? He's also an American. There ARE Americans who ARE Muslim.

If we can't have Muslim politicians, then we should have Christian one's either.

it's pretty lame that she would protest outside bush's house because of different beliefs, isn't it?

maybe he'd rather be in a nation where freedom of speech is welcome?

Going to his house is extreme, but it's the "because he's a muslim" that makes it pretty lame.

I'd feel the same way if there was a Muslim or Jew protesting at a Christian's house because they were a different religion.

[Concept]

If I was a Muslim, I would be furious at the Middle East for making a mockery of my religion.

It's a shame that good Americans have to suffer because of what extremeists on the other side of the world are committing themselves to.

there's a lot of lame things people protest about

[motivez]

Yeah, but I think there's a difference between what Sheehan is doing and what this guy is doing as far as validity of reasons..

I agree. Sheehan is against War. This guy is against Muslim's apparently....


Is that not a difference?

It might all be protest...and we all have the right, but I don't think he should be given the time of day for it, because he doesn't even really know what he's protesting apparently.

[Kytro]

I see no problems with a protest, but it makes him look like a bit of a idiot

Different issue, yes. If he was encouraging violence agaisnt they guy, then it would be going to far, but saying you can't hold certain opinions is a bad idea.

He can hold him. But he looks like a retard.

People should find out where the protester lives and then protest outside of his house.

[motivez]

What would the signs say?

Protesting stupid protesting? The universe might implode from the cycle of retardness that existed

Nah, protesting religious intolerance.
