Innnnteresting. You read the Al Jazeera article as conflating speech with violent actions, whereas I read much of the anti-Muslim rhetoric I'm responding to as conflating speech with violent actions! I absolutely agree with everything else you say in this comment, one hundred percent. Words, pictures, boycotts, marches, but not bullets, nooses or fires.

The problem for me is that a certain proportion of atheists are calling the words, boycotts and marches an attack on their freedom of speech, I suppose because some of the protesters share the same religion as some violent extremists.
