But you did ask. You asked why your country allows these people to do what they do, and that IS why. The precious first amendment and the freedom of speech is exactly why these people are allowed to do what they do. They have their beliefs, they are entitled to practice them, and they are allowed to protest and demonstrate the way they do. Freedom of speech doesn't entitle people to speak their mind, aslong as they aren't pissing anyone off. It simply entitles people to speak their mind.
Personally I think that what they do is appaling, and they infuriate me, much as they do you. If I was burying a family member of a close friend and had to deal with these idiots then I would be tempted to go and have a go too, no doubt, but doing this would bring you down closer to their level in many ways.
It's their ideals, their beliefs and their organisation that you should want to kill, but not a group of people including families and small children. Who's to say you wouldn't believe their bulls
hit if you had been born into these morons and taught from childhood that THIS was right, and everything else was wrong.
