There is nothing wrong with criticizing Islam. We have the freedom of speech in the US and we have the rights to use it.

He was not encouraging violence against Muslims. Being critical of Islam has nothing to do with being racist. Islam is a religion, it's not a race.

If the person was there propagating violence and killings of Muslims then that would be a hate speech. He was just practicing his rights and letting everyone know his point of view.

Islamophobia is a fancy term coined by some radical "Muslims" to shut down the voice that question Islam. In the US, you are welcome to question Christianity, you can question Judaism and you can question whatever other religion but whenever you question Islam, you become an Islamophobe. I think that's a beautiful double standard. What's more pathetic is that the media is going with it!

For the first time in the modern history, the freedom of speech of Americans have been jeopardized.
