While I believe some of Cameron's tactics are over the top and guerilla-esque, he has ever right to put forth his point of view, just as Dawkins or other athiests have every right to put forth their point of view.

It is a slippery slope when you begin to talk about stopping someone from speaking out about what they believe. If you advocate stopping Cameron, then how would you feel if Dawkins was stopped from distributing the Bible with his own preface to it?

Right or wrong, freedom of speech should be supported, even if you disagree with the message. The only time it should be restricted is if it is inciting hate.

I may disagree with your opinion, but I would always support your right to express it.
