I have no issue with building a building thats partially dedicated to a being that probably doesn't exist thats not terribly close to the site. So meh, build it for all I care. Also, depicting the prophet does not make you a an asshole. It was a neccesary protest against disproportianate reactions from certain Muslims and making the point that hurt feelings is not a reason to KILL PEOPLE. It does not make you an asshole if you protest against that at all, quite the opposite given the stakes. |
Of course they have the right to protest it, and they are correct because it is their constitutional right of free speech. If they don't want to put up with the depiction of Muhammad they need to go to a different country. Purposefully drawing Muhammad just to piss people off is being an asshole though (not talking about a particular instance, just the idea), killing people in response is being far more of an asshole. Going into the ghetto and yelling the N word is being an asshole, shooting the man who said it is far worse. Do you see where i'm going here? The first part is legal, is protected, but you have to accept the consequences of what might happen for your own actions unless you can say you didn't know that it was offensive. Even the people who go to the mosque after it opens can't feel safe for quite a while.
