I was vaguely aware of those constant leftist protesters in Ann Arbor, but please elaborate on the connection between them and the Christians who were arrested in Dearborn. My guess is that you are trying to make the point that there is a double standard in Michigan as to freedom of speech: Politically correct forms of protest (anti-Israel) are acceptable and tolerated, while politically incorrect (Christians engaging Moslems at an Arab festival) are not.

Yes, a double standard, and perhaps a disparate standard of law enforcement. Recognizing that it's properlay a local issue and that Dearborn isn't Ann Arbor.

I'd also note that imo the Ann Arbor harassment comes very close to inhibiting the right of members of that Congregation to exercise their choice of religion. I doubt there's anywhere in this nation that a group could picket a Mosque, and take pictures of those entering. Same for most Christian denominations, though you'd probably get away with it at some Catholic Churches.
