I know someone posted the YouTube clip of this Arab festival. I didn't follow the story and was surprised to see this article today - the follow up...

City pays up for abusing Christians' rights
But claims against 'Arab Chamber' in Dearborn case to continue

The city of Dearborn, Mich., has agreed to pay Christians who were arrested at its Arab International Festival in 2010, remove all criticism of them from a city website and post a public apology that will remain online for years, according to a legal team on the case.

This is the only part that offends me. Christians needs to stop acting so stupid. There was no reason for this WHILE passing out tracts. Good grief - idiots.

"WND later learned that the Christian crowd had been carrying a pole with a pig’s head attached to the top, further angering the Muslim crowd."

While I would not walk around with a pigs head on a pole, all people have a right to be stupid. I dislike the art so-called "blaspheming" Christ yet it is the right of stupid people to be stupid.

I hear all the time about the "religion of peace". Islam is anything but a "religion of peace". Muhammad was a pervert. that is simply a fact. He married a 6 year old girl and consummated that marriage when she was 9 years old.

I agree that we do have a right, under our Constitution, to be stupid. My only question is, why do we have to be as Christians? Offending them is not going to win them. It's a no-brainer. Provoking someone to anger is not a good Christian principle. They must be related to Phelps. Ugh!

I remember the original story, but I don't remember reading the part about the pig's head. Really people!?! Obviously I don't condone the violence towards these people, but it's hard for me to sympathize with morons. It's almost as if they WANTED a confrontation. They WANTED to provoke anger and violence, then cry about being "persecuted."

There's stupid and then there's this special kind of stupid they displayed.
