I strongly disagree with all theism. But I will support their right to believe as they choose. And if they want to chant that atheists are doomed, or "death to America", or whatever...as long as it's not a direct threat (or libel/slander), I support their right to do that. Because, in return, I have the right to condemn their religion as utter nonsense, and even insult their savior or prophet or any other figure in whatever religion we're talking about. If I don't speak out for their rights, who will be left to speak out for mine?

I also believe in the right to speak. People shouldn't be banned, cancelled, ostracized, fired, etc. It's happened courtesy more of the Left - but also courtesy of the Right too.
What I *used* to be bothered by is that people emigrate to America, and bring their own rivalries and own nation's interests with them.
Then I stopped minding it.
Now, I cheer it - I don't condemn it. I hope they continue to speak - and do other things in Europe and in America, my hope is we first graduate from chants, to organizing votes and money.
Like I said - im pleased that one side is fine with this chant more than the other. It's ok to say "Death to America, Death to Israel" - but ok to say "I don't want a dude in a dress in my little girl's washroom" .
And the only response to such is....well, I won't say :) But braver people than me seem to be on this job. Whether it's God or Providence, I hope it's on their side.
