Here's the thing. In most developed nations, we have a little thing called "Freedom of Speech." However, what these people are campaigning for is, in essence, "Freedom from Other People's speech." In essence, most developed nations don't have that sort of thing for obvious reasons. It really stifles free expression.
In essence, the situation here is that these Muslims do have the right to protest, even if it's for the most inane things, and, if it is for the most inane things, then we as human beings reserve the right to criticise them mercilessly for that. That's how free speech works. We shouldn't really be worried unless people in charge actually start listening to that. Because, if they do, who knows how far it could go?
