My question now: Would you attend a KKK cross burning in inner city Baltimore because it was advertised as a message of free speech?

Attending an event is not the same as acknowledging and supporting a controversial group's right to exercise their 1st amendment rights. I usually agree with Greta, and Bill O'Reilly for that matter, but in this case don't.
Some questions now for you please ...
Do you think any group, religious or otherwise, should be allowed to intimidate other groups into maintaining silence? ie self-censoring?
Do you think that Islam, in general, supports free speech?
Do you remember any Christians killing, or attempting to kill, artists who some years ago put the crucifix in urine or depicted Mary in an unflattering way?
