Saaf, is it right that no action is taken over muslim protestors holding blood thirsty placards calling for the death of our troops?
IMO if two people are arrested over a heated debate, regardless what it is about, does it not stink ?
Feel free to answer.

1. I don't think they were defending their Christian beliefs, which is what you are implying they were doing.
2. I think freedom of speech should not give you the right to say whatever you want. (And if yo thing otherwise then you would not be bothered about the muslim protestors as they are only exercising their f'reedom of speech').
3. I do think muslims protesting in the manner that the ones at the home coming parade are out of order. If a complaint has been made, and they were subsequently arrested (of which I think some were) then I would have no qualms with that. As far as I am aware action has been taken.
4. If I am in a heated debate with you and say, for example you started being racist towards me (I'm not saying this happened here) then I would have no problem with you being arrested. In all honesty we still don't know why they were arrested (i.e. we don't know what was said), so maybe we should wait for the conclusion of this case before we make assumptions.
Can I ask a question.
Would you have had a problem if this couple were not Christians, and it was A Christian woman taking them to court for something they had said to her.
