They've made it to Toronto:

Absolutely ridiculous. I hope there's a counter-protest organized (though I have a feeling it would attract a lot of unsavoury types).
Apparently, freedom of speech and expression only matters to these protesters when it's the thing they like that is insulted. It's perfectly fine when applied to others, but to them? Heaven forbid!
Where are these protesters when South park habitually lampoons Moses, Jesus, and any other number of religious figures? They made an entire episode dedicated to calling Mormonism dumb, ffs! I'm sure some of these people have seen the Simpsons. Where are their protests when Matt Groening makes God imitate Ned Flanders? Oh, right, the whole "freedom of speech doesn't mean disrespecting any Prophet!" farce is just a hypocritical charade to disguise what they really mean: my personal favourite Prophet got insulted -- I really don't care about those other religions, as evidenced by my total inaction whenever they are insulted -- and so I'm going to whine and complain in an attempt to make it seem like I'm not a hypocrtical religious nut job.
What a bunch of idiots. Personally, I think this whole attempt at a "reasoned" attack on freedom of speech is more dangerous than some random schmuck throwing rocks and trying to attack embassies over it.
