No Muslima, we all get it. It is you who clearly does not get it.
It is highly offensive to my personal beliefs when someone burns a bible. Or an American flag. Or uses NEA funds as payment for creating a so called "art piece" named "Piss Christ."
But I support those people's RIGHT to express themselves because that is among our common American values and laws as originally set out in the BOR and constitution. In fact, I'd gladly die fighting to protect those rights as would everyone who has served our great country; I've taken an oath to uphold and protect those rights.
See here is what you don't get Muslima - we value religios tolerance in America and our tolerance is more important than your stupid religion and false prophet.
We've practiced religious tolerance in America since before there was a U.S. So if your mosque decides to hold a bible burning, then it's appropriate for me and every loyal American, to protect your right to do so, even if it means that I or the police need to stand outside with guns; ready to defend you from law breakers.
AMEN!!!!!!

Try announcing a public burning of a bible. Or a Torah. Or the Bagvad Gita. The left will bring marshmallows. The civil rights division will defend you.
But try expressing free speech through burning a Koran and all hell will break loose. [/quote
Free speech has well-recognized limits. You cannot yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater and declare it free speech. This is the rough equivalent of yelling "FIRE" in the crowded theater. Metro should be permitted to just tell her to screw off and continue accepting other issue ads.

I'm not a fan of an outsider who tried to make millions of commuters into a symbolic target in order to prove a point.

If they don't pull their weapons, it's fine with me. I can see, given what happened in Paris, and what happened in TX recently, why they would want to be sure they are armed. If they are in their legal rights to carry, they are within their legal rights. If they start shooting without physical provocation, then I will take issue.
Really? So you'll only take issue with this once they start shooting. I'm sure worshipers of any persuasion find that very reassuring. There is really something wrong with you people.

Don't get it twisted, this is not about free speech. Using the first amendment and the civil liberties that this country provides to instigate hate and fear for an entire religion and group of people, and inciting riots is idiotic.There is a supposedly planned armed protest by bikers in Arizona outside of a mosque tomorrow where they planned to come en masse with cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad saw. "Prior to gathering outside of the mosque, the motorcyclists say they’ll meet in a nearby Denny’s parking lot, where they’ll have a “Muhammad cartoon contest.” They plan to take the images of Islam’s prophet to the Islamic Community Center at 6:15 that evening , a time when the Muslim community is expected to gather inside." What problems, do you think if any events like this will solve? The FBI is currently investigating threatening letters that were sent to the mosque. You are kidding yourself if you think that events like this are in any way shape or form for the advancement of free speech and lastly free speech does not protect the right to incite actions that would harm others.
