In your belief that “marches are only about expressing hate and intolerance”, has it occurred to you that you may be in error, that those marching against Sharia are fearful of the hate and intolerance of those who - - in the name of a religion whose very name means SUBMIT! - - would run down crowds of pedestrians with large trucks, hack innocent bystanders to death with knives or detonate massive amounts of explosives at a public concert?

And clearly what the so called counter demonstrators want to do is not to exercise their First Amendment right of free speech in opposition to the pro-Constitution faction, but to deny that same right to their fellow citizens of a pro-Constitution persuasion.

Do you really believe America in the name of “tolerance” should give free rein to those who believe they are called to "evangelize" with a sword to force others to SUBMIT?
