As usual, you are mistaken in your misguided assertion - I think that protesting outside a mosque (as the EDL were doing) and protesting at Wootton Bassett are stupid, abhorrent, and provocative (but I think Islam4UK win on the Ass-hat competition); but the downside of democracy is having to listen to people you disagree with strongly (the upside is that they have to listen to you....  ).
