Silly Muslims With No Sense of Proportion Protest About a Stupid Movie

Here are some photographs of the protest against "The Innocence of Islam" that took place in Piccadilly Gardens Manchester city centre on 22nd September 2012. I would have taken a lot more photographs but the battery on my camera was nearly dead (and promptly ran out) while I was wandering around
Stumbled across this thing while catching the tram between Victoria and Piccadilly Railway Stations and figured I'd get off and have a look. The guy speaking had some common sense things to say about tolerance but really wound me up when he starts waffling on about "Islamophobia".
What does annoy me is that these 100 or so people are happy to come out calling for a silly film that everyone should just grow up and ignore to be banned yet have nothing to say about an Eygptian member of Parliment going on breakfast TV and saying all women should suffer genital mutilation as it is demanded by Islam (http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/salafi-mp-advocates-female-circumcision-says-suzanne-mubarak-banned-it-news-1), the jailing of rape victims for adultery in the United Arab Emirates (http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/world/drugged-raped-then-jailed-for-adultery-20110328-1cd7p.html) or the fact that Saudi Arabia executes people for the imaginary crime of witchcraft (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18503550) Can any mulim reading this post please explain why these human rights abuses carried out in the name of your god and prophet are somehow less important than a stupid movie?
And yes these tossers where there trying to hijack the protest.
