What happened to them is shocking, because we are used to protection of our freedom of speech, and they were not being violent, just holding signs. People burn flags in this country and aren't prosecuted, but a counter demonsration at a gay rally will get you incarcerating in Philadelphia. The MSM neglect this story because it's disturbing, as it should be to anyone who thinks this kind of thing can only happen in Europe and Canada. It may come to pass in the near future that wearing a crucifix will be deemed hate speech and being a Christian a hate crime. The Philadelphia 11 are a case in point.

They currently use name-calling, but it hasn't been as effective as they'd like. Some of us don't care what they call us. these laws are part of a concerted effort to eradicate any expression of Christianity from our society. The laws that have passed and are proposed will be such powerful tools to stifle opposition that the left will find them irresistable- especially those activist judges that look for any excuse to move the society further to the left. They will find broad application, and will become 'living' laws, just like our Constitution has sprouted legs and begun to take a left turn.

And a Christian preacher in Australia has been charged with a crime (hate speech, if I remember correctly) for reading certain passages from the Qur'an from the pulpit. That is happening in Canada.
