    Re: Apparently, It's Against The Law To Distribute Christian Literature In Dearborn,

    I'd say, like most of these videos online trying to prove some point, that it's not showing the entire story. I support their right to peacefully assemble outside and hand out pamphlets. Pretty sure their day didn't start when the video starts, but you're free to assume that it did.

    Ok there are many annoying people that protest, I'm not here to rank them.

    But they do seem obnoxious, the point is I don't care.

    While legally you are right, morally you are wrong. Freedom means allowing other people the same religious freedoms and right to pursue happiness, as you have and expect to have in your daily life.

    Legally is all I'm concerned with. Morally plenty of things are "wrong" that are still legal. I don't think anyone is preventing them from practicing their religion.

    Morally I agree with you, for the record.

    So legally; the police cannot tell them to leave right?

    In some extreme cases they can tell you to leave, but "Disturbing the Peace" is a very amorphous charge that is pretty dangerous in the wrong hands.

    True but in this scenario; they have no ground. The other group was doing everything within their legal right.

    I'm curious how this story would change if gay rights activists rallied at a Christian service? Or maybe we should use this same scenario when Martin Luther king and the walk had them all arrested?

    It seems too many are being bias because its effecting those they dislike; therefor it's okay.

    Re: Apparently, It's Against The Law To Distribute Christian Literature In Dearborn,

    According to the article Maris posted, a whole lot of groups were doing a whole lot more than handing out pamphlets. And as someone else noted, their day didn't start when that video clip started. To take their edited videos as gospel is pretty naive.

    Even if all they do is hand out pamphlets, why do they (or any missionaries of any religion) feel the need to "educate"/convert people. Live and let live.

    Re: Apparently, It's Against The Law To Distribute Christian Literature In Dearborn,

    Huevonkiller stole my answer. Also though, they were told they could hand out their booklets 5? blocks away. I assume there is some sort of city ordinance that backs that up, Im also assuming that the Muslims in this story were smart enough to get any city license or approval that they needed to protect themselves and receive backing from the police knowing that something like this would happen. Moves by both groups were obviously planned in advanced with certain expectations by the other groups. Why did the christians have a video camera in the first place if all they care about is spreading the faith? In this instance the Christians were the aggressors and clearly in the wrong as the muslims were just trying enjoy their day and faith, the muslims would have been better off ignoring them and might have overreacted a little bit but given the current climate and attitude towards them I can't blame them to much for calling the police, and they could have avoided actual violence by doing so.

    Seems to me that if Nazis can march in a very Jewish neighborhood, Skokie, that free speech is fairly well defined. To be as intolerant and ignorant as the speaker chooses. It may be repugnant, and those Christians no better than those Nazis. The alternative is far worse - you're enabling some committee, likely unelected, to decide what can be said. Even Bill Maher deserves the chance to be heard.

    that is my entire premise

    it is pc to fuck with what was once the social norm, and anything that deviates is sacred

    Re: Apparently, It's Against The Law To Distribute Christian Literature In Dearborn,

    I can say the same about you. "hmmm Christians attack.....peacefull muslims....hmmm" There are plenty of aggressive and passive aggresive Christians and muslims and vise versa. Implying that all muslims are violent and christians are not is wrong and full of bigotry.

    Same applies for atheists then. Why would Dawkins sell his book? That is such a weak argument

    They could be passing out pamphlets that say all Muslims are pussies that blow up buildings. It doesn't fucking matter. It maybe "morally wrong" like you suggest; but it's our right to speak our mind. It's our right to pass out porn and prostitution pamphlets in the middle of Vegas.

    The moment you start taking that right away; our constitution isn't worth the paper it was written on.
