They’re almost as scary.
All I will say, and this is just my opinion, is that one’s own free speech rights, do not give that person the right to violate the free speech of another. I applaud their efforts in making these issues (Islamization/sharia) aware to the greater public, but only when they do not violate the rights of others in doing it.
NOTE: And yes, even idiot Nazis and idiot Commies have a right to free speech, as long as they’re not openly inciting violence.

A German religious forum took an unexpected turn yesterday when three topless protesters had to be dragged out of the building.
The Berlin Islam Week event, held in one of the city’s town halls, was stopped in its tracks by members of extreme protest group Femen, who charged into the hall with slogans attacking ‘religious oppression’ and Sharia law daubed on their bodies.
Photographs from the moment the women were dragged out by policemen show a bemused-looking woman filming the event on her phone as unimpressed guests look on.

Protest: Three protesters from Femen stormed the stage at Berlin’s Islam Week event
‘Dialogue’: The women were dragged out of the event, at a Berlin town hall, after revealing their stridently anti-Islam views
Other images show the three on stage during a discussion, where speakers were confronted with the messages written on their bodies and also on banners which they waved above their heads while shouting.
Femen, which began in Eastern Europe, is notorious for using nudity to promote their message of female emancipation and protest against governments and organisations with which they disagree.
Berlin Islam Week is open to atheists and those of other religions as well as Muslims, according to promotional material, which describes the event as ‘an important part of inter-religious dialogue process ‘.
The description says this year’s event aimed to ‘provide a platform for exchange and to strengthen dialogue’ and mentioned talks with ‘religious, inter-religious , social and historical themes.’
Note: My opinion on this may win me some negative comments, but they’re just my opinions, and I do not demand 100% compliance to them from anyone.
