Sooo.... if you can't deal with being harassed you should leave? It makes far more sense that the people DOING the harassing should leave.
Sorry - but that's not what freedom of speech means. Go back and read what the Founding Fathers wrote. Christians can speak even if it annoys you, so can Conservatives, Libertarians, atheists, and others. If you don't like it - you should move to an Islamic nation where no freedoms exist.
You might be better off living in a Muslim country where Christians preaching or doing any kind of free speech would get their heads cut off.
Unfortunately for you, the USA has freedom of religion (not freedom from religion) and you might just have to deal with that freedom of speech here.
Ya, good retort. I'm floored.
FORTUNATELY there are rules to prevent festivals from being disrupted by people yapping away at attendees about stuff nobody wants to hear. Pretty sure that's a freedom worth fighting for too.

Christians, or anyone else, can't speak to me if they are annoying. That's a fact.
We are going to get to changing all the crap falling under the heading of "free speech" that isn't really. You can say you saw it here first but you probably didn't.

Then start with these Muslims proselytizing at a state fair. If Christians must be arrested for annoying Muslims then arrest Muslims for annoying Christians.

"What are they doing here?" said Paulette Kahlstorf of Zimmerman, who declined a card from Zuleyha as she left the fairgrounds with her husband. "I didn't come here for that."

If anyone said a single word about these Muslim proselytizing every poster here saying the Christians were wrong would be arguing on behalf of free speech for the Muslims.
They are against everything represented by traditional America and for everything that is against it. There is no thinking involved beyond this. They just figure if it's anti-US it's the right opinion and if it's pro-US it's the wrong one. Case closed.

By this post, I assume you support the freedom of a mosque being built at ground zero. Annoying yes, but if Christians don't like it, they can move to an Islamic Nation where no such freedoms exist.
In case you didn't read about it in the tiny amount of coverage it received, a group of 4 young Christian people were arrested last June at the Arab festival in Dearborn. Evidently, it is now illegal to preach Christianity to Muslims.
The cops claim they were disturbing the peace, but their videos prove the cops were lying. Besides, since when is it against the law to offend Muslims with your free speech?
I don't know if it is more amazing that this happened in America or that nobody seems to care.

all it takes is for 1 person to be listening to their religious speech and your point would be moot.
