OF course, in the liberal mind, defacing churches is okay.
That is just an immature hateful accusation for those who political beliefs are not the same as yours.
Defacing ANY building where someone practices their personal religious belief is awful.
Shouldn't we get past the liberal/conservative attacks & just plain discuss the issues?

Do all you Islam lovers ever take a step back and realize how idiotic this all is? People who speak out against Islam do so by drawing a cartoon or slapping some bacon on a sidewalk, yet you get your panties all up in a wad. Muslims' actions are to stone, behead, blow-up, or hang those they disagree with and you're okay with that. These are NOT equal and opposite reactions, not by a longshot. Nobody is being killed by bacon, yet people HAVE been killed by airplanes used as WMD.
Stop talking sense. The liberals don't understand it.

After reading the artical and wondering if many even tried to read it I found nothing about any Christian rubbing bacon on the sidewalk, they have no idea who did it, where the heck do y'all come up with this stuff? LOL Talk about being paranoid.

I'm not "chummy" with any organized religion, nor do I need to be to say the adult thing, which is that this act was childish and unsophisticated.

It would be nice if other adults would do the same.

I know! I know! (waving hand in the air, please call on me)

Your argument is a huge strawman that is predicated on those of us who find this act objectionable being okay with those things. Of all posters here saying that this is wrong, I don't think you'll find even one saying that running over girls in cars or burying them alive is a justifiable thing to do for anyone. What you will however find is objection to the idea that whole groups of people need to be singled out for the behaviour of a few, which is a courtesy that I would hope goes to members of all religions and ethnic groups.
