Christian protestors taunt Arab-Americans

[illusion8]

Christian missionary groups crashed an Arab-American festival on Friday night armed with a pig's head on a stake and placards making bigoted remarks and promoting the hatred of Islam.
Tensions flared when the protesters, from an organisation called the Bible Believers, attended the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn, Michigan, waving signs with slogans such as 'Islam is a religion of blood and murder' and 'Muhammad is a liar, false prophet, murderer, child molesting pervert'.
Another offensive placard read: 'Repent, be converted, that your sins may be blotted out' and one missionary shouted 'You're gonna burn in hell' to a group of Arab-American boys,

But the pig's head caused the most outrage among festival goers because it is against the Islam faith to eat pork as it is thought to be unclean.

The three-day festival, in its 16th year, is the largest of its kind in the U.S.
As many as 300,000 people embark on Dearborn for the event, with some traveling from the Middle East and Canada.
The area of Detroit has the greatest concentration of Arab-Americans in the country, many of whom are Muslim.
The festival is often a magnet for Christian protesters. In 2010, police arrested at least six people when protesters and attendees clashed.
This year, several festival attendees were cited for disorderly conduct but no official arrests were made by police.
Wayne County sheriffs tried to keep the peace with officers on horseback patrolling the area, trying to keep the young Arab-Americans at a distance from the Christian missionaries.

At one point, some kids started throwing water bottles and cans at the missionaries.
Others chanted 'Allah-U-Akbar' or God is the greatest to which one of the Christians shouted in response 'Jesus Akbar', according to Detroit Free Press.

Protesters were allowed to stand outside the festival in a free speech zone. Barricades were put up to separate the protestors from festival goers.
The Christian protestors didn't return to the festival on Saturday because they were rallying at a gay pride event in Ohio.
According to Detroit Free Press, a group of Christian protestors had bombarded the biggest mosque in Michigan, the Islamic Center of America, earlier on Friday and were handing out flyers on the mosque lawn.

Christians and Muslims don't actually enjoy a love fest. If given the chance both would not hesitate to kill each other.
Why does Islam generate so much of hate among Christians?

Oh they remind me of us back in the day. If anything Osama have succeeded on is radicalizing the west which is the first step into downfall.

When I hear and see news like these I think of us 10 years ago and laugh. At the same time feel a certain kind of sadness that there are people in the world who are either still or starting to become like this.

So in your perspective it is Islam's fault this happened right??

The hate has increased multifold in the last few years among both the groups against each other. Banning of Islamic garb in western countries may possibly be related to this aversion - don't u think?

nice avatar BTW.

I am not finger pointing here, but I am just asking why is there limited tolerance towards Islam by other religions - throughout the world.

I am trying to get in a civilized discussion here, As Mosa said the same used to happen against Christians in a Muslim country. And the killing numbers is in the high millions credited to Muslims as well - so goes both ways.

For me religion is a personal belief and a lot of people choose not to believe at all - why does a certain religion induce hate is beyond me, As any Muslim would vouch the percentage of extremists and fundamentalists in Islam is a very small fraction, even then there is a kind of hatred - which is shared to an extent by Hindus. Jews, Sikhs, probably Buddhists.

Beggars the belief that all other religions collectively could not be wrong in being against one religion..can it? Why does the bad part about Islam are more highlighted then the good part?

Yeah the embrassement you feel now we all felt at one point.

Many people can't take the truth.

People can't take the truth.

Which people? illiterate zealots may not, but open minded people who don't hesitate to look within themselves as well may.

Then why the child molestation is prevalent among the Christian countries?
