No. They wouldn't obviously but going to symbolic locations is what protesters do. The British Defense League went into areas with high numbers of mosques and Muslims, because they were protesting against Islam.It's almost an exact reverse of this protest in fact. There were very few voices calling for them to be stopped.
Democracy is an automatic right in this country. One which is defended by people in the army (or should be) and hence the respect they are afforded. It is not a right which is denied the moment someone says something we don't like. The fact people would be upset is horrible but it's not reason enough to ban it. We can ban many a freedom based on that criteria, unless they plan to use violence there is little we can do.
One day you might find yourself in a minority, saying something the majority doesn't like, and would you want the majority to simply shut you up?
