A tissue for what? Laughing at the comparison you're making? Sure.

Hey, maybe after their little rally, they can take you for a spin around the block on one of their cool bikes or autograph their jacket and give it to you. How cool would that be.


I also must've missed the part where these bikers were subjected to incredibly discrimination and racism. Hmm.

Why not? MLK wasn't a Muslim, he was a Christian. I consider Malcolm X the more effective civil rights leader, and he was a Muslim.

In what way was Malcolm X more effective than MLK because from my standpoint, MLK was an unmitigated success that changed America but Malcolm X, not a success.

Lame argument.

We're free to do things that are "just not the best of ideas."

The liberals of the sixties were into free speech when most of society disagreed with them.

Now that they've hypnotized the masses, the time for debate is over as far as they are concerned.

They ARE the Sharia of America.

And, ironically, it's the Tea Party that is truly the radical force now.

The more I read liberals' city-data posts, the more it seems liberals are against First Amendment rights in general. Couple of cases in point: the Obama Admin's several attempts to subvert the Freedom of the Press, and liberals' numerous attacks on Freedom of Religion and the exercise thereof.

Says who?
And bikers go to church?

I know, how dare he!

Obviously, these bikers have a reason to do this. If there are no terrorists in the country, we have nothing to worry about, right? It is obvious that these bikers are not targeting the whole Muslim community.
So why do they need to hold this event in front of an Islamic Community Center, how would Christians feel if the same group held an event in front of a church with derogatory cartoons of Jesus.

This is not in response to the recent attack, just a bunch of rednecks on bikes. There are terrorists in this country, what a shocking revelation.

Poking fun at religions solves nothing and just divides.

Nonsense. MLK had respect and class. He was always respectful in his dealings with those in the Nation of Islam and Islam, even when they were critical of him. Never would he engage in the low class behavior of these bikers.
