People who shove cameras in other peoples faces, attempting to cause conflict and create controversy, deserve more then just getting their camera pushed away - no matter who they are or what cause they are supporting or against.

As a member of the media, I capture a reaction, not try to create one.

Someone who shoves a camera in my face without my permission gets a lens full of fist.

Proud to be the biggest a-hole!

"Using megaphones for amplification they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homo”. They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross."

Interesting, isn't it? P.C.; intimidation; jamming...

Can you tell us how far from the festival the police told those guys they had to be to hand out their literature? I know but do you?

I think that freedom of speech was taken away in that little set to but then you don't see that at all since it was the "bad guys" who had it taken away.

It happens all the time at other public gatherings with no backlash like this.
Usually ends up with lots more paper to pick up off the ground after the festival is over.
It was the Muslims whining to the police as I saw it on Wood's video but then he was recruiting according to them. I saw that they took the tracts if they wanted to and didn't if they didn't. Nothing was being forced on them. The best part of this is that they were told they could hand out their tracts at least 5 blocks away from the festival. That is too stupid for me to understand. When you are protesting it needs to be at the site.

I wonder what happens when those cops find themselves enforcing Sharia.

It looks to me they were trying to ask questions about the pamphlets they were handed, "got questions, we got answers" When they attempted to ask they were given nothing but a hard time. My question is, what do the Muslims have to hide? Are the afraid their religion will be exposed for what it is? A religion of violence, bent on world domination and the destruction of Israel and the U.S. You are in our country, you will abide by our laws! We will not compromise.

The part of this one that bothers me is that the Christian group was told by the police that they could stand on the street with their pamphlets, wait on this it is good 5 blocks away from the festival. That seems to be an abrogation of freedom of speech to me.

I think it may be time for many here to look into the Muslim groups in the Upper US and the power they have, like this little deal.

While I might agree with the sentiment of the reporter he violates a rule of journalism in my opinion by making the story about the process of getting the story - it's all about him. Who cares about him? Most of the way in, I still didn't know what was in the pamphlet that made him question it and that ain't reporting.

ISLAM - The only religion that EVERYBODY is scared of. Except muslims, of course. They have even struck mass fear into the media with threats of violence. What other religion, or entity in general, has had that powerful an effect on our first amendment rights? That alone should tell people that this is a threat that is getting out of control.
Laughing at France. Not me, I applaud them. Loudly.

I wish everyone would stop referring to Islam as a religion. It's an ideology. Muslims use Islam as a religious umbrella to protect them from scrutiny. Many muslim non-profits abuse tax laws and fund terrorists.

I didn't see any Norwegians jumping up and down on American streets cheering the terrorist attacks on 9/11. And I don't think they're funding terrorists either.

If Nazis can march in Skokie, IL (and they have), then Muslims don't own the streets in Dearborn and these people should never have been arrested.

The liberal agenda ACLU is a bad joke.....
