[quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]What it is,  is a reaction to a provocation...[/quote]

This “reaction,” as you call it, was intended to kill people.  
Speech that is provocative is the VERY speech that needs to be protected.  Nice, uncontroversial speech does not need that protection.

Compare this “reaction” on the part of radical Muslims to the reaction by Christians, radical or other, when “Piss Christ” was on exhibit (and endorsed by NEA). 
I don’t remember any Christians arming themselves with the intent to kill the artists or the owners of the museum.

I am not a huge fan of Geller and I don’t condone what she did, but I also do not condemn it.  
I, myself, believe that hurtful actions should be avoided.  As should hurtful words - regardless of the audience. 
But, she has every right to sponsor such an event.  
I just find it interesting that the outrage on the part of the liberal left has been limited to inflammatory speech against radical Muslims. 
I don’t recall the left’s outrage at the inflammatory language and acts against Christians.  [/quote]

Whether it was to kill people or not, the point I was trying to make was that it was a reaction a provocation. I have already said that Muslims should ignore these provocations, and in fact the Majority of Muslims do, and in this particular case, the majority of Muslims in Texas where the event was being held completely ignored it. They had less than 100 people there and most of them were not from the area. Yes. people have the right to be racists & bigots and I have the right to call them racists & bigots. Geller is a hate monger by all standards and we shouldn't dignify her hate speech by responding to it. Both Geller and ISIS Hatred breeds more hatred and seem to subscribe to the same view,  that you cannot be a practicing Muslim AND a patriotic law abiding American  and we have seen the backlash that can come from those like Geller and her cronies. We have seen a rise in hate crimes against Muslims across the country. We know of terrorists, including Andre Breivik in Norway who cited Geller in his manifesto, then went on to kill 77 people, many of whom were children. Geller defended Breivik’s actions by saying "the youth camp Breivik targeted was an anti-Israel “indoctrination training center" and the victims would have grown up to become: future leaders of the party responsible for flooding Norway with Muslims who refuse to assimilate, who commit major violence against Norwegian natives including violent gang rapes, with impunity, and who live on the dole." So don't tell me about killing people, free speech or people's reaction. Again, Pamela Geller has EVERY RIGHT to be a bigot and a racist, and we have every right to call her a bigot and a racist.
