I doubt that two Muslims doing nothing but standing up would be tossed out of any of the Democrats' rallies. Kasich, probably wouldn't have much of an issue with them either.

Probably not Jeb either, although I bet he's been briefed about some put-down he can be ready to use that will make the audience laugh and make him seem in control. Maybe even a put-down of Trump.

Neither Kasich nor Jeb is likely to face this, though, given that they haven't gone to Trump's extremes.

No, the issue is that you posted it in the wrong thread. Look here:

Perhaps they would have had a better reception wearing the sign of the Nazarene in Syrua? Or wearing a Yarmulke in predominantly Muslim areas of Paris?

are you painting all Trump supporters with the same broad brush?

They "came to start trouble"? Freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and peaceful protest is a cornerstone of democracy.

Yes, and make sure you take her coat before she goes out into the cold just as he directed security to do to others at the other ralliies. It's called stealing.

Trump used to criticize Republican candidates for bigotry: Pat Buchanan, even Romney:

The couple came to show Trump and his supporters that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful. They hoped to show that no matter what terrible things would have been said about Muslims, they would only peacefully stand in protest. That's not starting trouble.

Had they done anything other than stand and put a face to the targets of the hate Trump spews, you might have a point. But they didn't disrupt anything. They stood and effectively pointed out that it's easy to hate in the abstract when the target isn't there, but much harder to hate a real person who is standing in front of you. Just like for many conservatives it's easy to hate gays until your brother, son, friend comes out.

Trump is a demagogue, whipping up fear and hate against all members of a group, regardless of whether they have done anything wrong. Do you fail to see the irony in your offense at people painting Trump supporters with the same brush? The majority of Muslims, and particularly those in the US, do not support terrorism and want nothing more than to live in peace, raise their children and have the same opportunities as the rest of us. They are being blamed simply for their religion and ethnicity. Trump supporters, on the other hand, are actively choosing to align themselves with him and his positions. Who do you think deserves more "painting"?

I believe the women in Germany were the target of hate - attacks that support Trump's 'we best figure out who we plan to let in the door'

The yellow star is a symbol of the Nazi persecution of Jews, drawing a parallel with Trump's plan to register all Muslims.

So what is the point of them doing it at all?

Maybe they should have acquired assault rifles and gone off and occupied a wildlife refuge.

Or shot up their workplace.

The Nazarine symbol is what ISIS puts on the doors of Christiansmarked for death going on as these two protest American abuses? How rich

Did Jews wager systematic attacks on the Europeans who put out the welcome mat? No. So where's your parallel?
