And it's not just local Muslims - a lot of people here are upset about all the attention that has been brought here because of what's happened. Even the mayor has suggested that it wasn't wise for the exhibition centre here to hold this event.
That's something that's made the event organisers bristle, saying freedom of speech is freedom of speech. But many others are upset and they say this wasn't really about freedom of speech - it was an anti-Islam event.
So what if it was an 'anti-Islam' event ? Surely that is the point of freedom of speech that you can be 'anti' what you want and express that opinion ? I understand why you would have laws around making threats of violence but if anybody wants to be anti Islam or any thing else why is that a bad thing ?
