[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point?  They came to start trouble. They were escorted out.

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?  [/quote]

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"?[/quote]

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'[/quote]
