If we are doing to allow muslims to stage protests with placards reading "Death to the UK/USA" and burning our flags (which I don't consider to be a crime either), we have to be prepared to afford other groups the same rights. It's called living in a democracy.

But there's a difference between airing your views and performing an act which is deliberately provocative, and intended to spur up racial violence.
