A double standard with Muslim Americans

Two news stories caught my eye recently, although the mainstream media seems to have ignored the one showing Muslims in a negative light (I could only find it in right-wing media).

Story 1: In Minnesota, a federal judge said Bibles can be handed out at the Minnesota Gay Pride Festival because stopping it would violate constitutional protections for free speech. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Tunheim wrote that although organizers paid $36,000 for a permit to use the park, that did not afford them the right to restrict the speech of those in it.

Pride organizers had filed for a temporary restraining order to keep Johnson from handing out materials without a vendor's permit, something they had denied him in the hope of preventing him from diluting their message of tolerance toward gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people.

Story 2: Members of a Christian group were arrested at the Arab Festival in Dearborn, Mich. when they tried to hand out fliers. From Human Events:

Wondering if they were arrested for passing out fliers in defiance of the ban, I asked David about the ban. He answered, “Yes, we’re banned from handing out literature, but we didn’t do that. We followed the rules, and still got thrown in jail. They flat out lied about us. We can prove they lied with the video footage (just like last year), but the police took our cameras and won’t let us have the footage. There’s major oppression of anyone who criticizes Islam.”

Constitutional rights are only guaranteed if Muslims are happy. Why the double standard? It's probably because passing out Christian literature at gay events won't cause gays to riot, burn cars, and behead people. We need to stand up to bad behavior, even when it's risky.

I would expect that gays are very angry about the special treatment afforded to others.
