Also, since when is the belief that someone else be denied their rights something taht should be protected?

I'm sorry but our society does not protect that right in any way.
Whether or not it was Coulter's decision to go ahead with her speech, the protestors certainly gave her the excuse the make that decision. Either way they accomplished absolutely nothing.
If they did physically block her they commited a crime. If they did not, and it was in fact entirely Coutler's decision, they just showed how easily manipulated they were by a complete idiot.

Again, I did not know that they blocked the entrance. However, I think it's entirely reasonable to allow for a Jewish or Christian or Pagan or Atheist or whatever group to gather outside the Calgary Islamic Centre in Christie Park and express their opinion on Islam. So long as they let the people pass through, did not incite a riot, and did not incite violence.
If I'd known that they physically blocked her (I don't know if this happened or not, someone confirm it one way or the other, please!), I probably would've posted far fewer words on this thread.
