Events such as this will always receive news coverage, which means that a reporter gets to stick a microphone in the face of a Muslim and ask, "Is Islam just a religion, or does it also specify a form of government?" and "Is Sharia compatible with the American Constitution?"
When the Muslim lies, the reporter can ask, "Please explain the meanings of the words 'taqiyya' and 'kitman.'"
The local Dallas news I’ve seen has been pondering whether the protesters would become violent or not. We have nothing but drive-by media here as well.
