Wauwwwwwww.Very modern response from you.I want to applaud you.
Rude, you can't blame HayerMiacek for feeling that way.. I mean looking at those pics makes me wanna throw stuff at them too.. not that I would, but you know what I mean... it makes me very very angry.. AND dissapointed.
My great grandmother's two baby brothers were killed in the genocide by Turksih soldiers along with the rest of her family.. they were from Mush. She told me everything that happened to her.. everything she saw with her own eyes. She was an old lady.. I don't think she cared much about "politics" or "land returns" at that age. To see these people holding signs saying it was the other way around makes me angry!! very angry.
One thing that I find with these discussions that, when Turks critisize Armenia actions in 1914/15 or later, they take it personal directly to their relatives lived in those times.
The thing is.. you're asking us not to take it "personal" but how can we do that when all the slogans they're holding are simply not true? I take it personal (and I'm sure you would too) when they're using the number of Muslims killed in WWI as an excuse to deny the Genocide of my ancestors with slogans such as "More Muslims died in WWI than Armenians but who remembers them?". What does that suppose to mean. More Christians died in WWI than Muslims, so what? Why should my grandmother's family or any Armenian from her village or surrounding villages be held responsible for Ottoman Empire's stupid decision to go to war when they weren't ready and more importantly how can that possibly prove that the Armenian Genocide never took place? When they're insulting my history, I have no choice but to take it personal.
The 1st amendment and numerous Supreme Court cases stipulate that the KKK is free to preach in America all they like, just not to practice. These demonstrations are the same idea: we may hate what they say, but in the eyes of the law that's not enough to take their right to say it. The best cure is to fight back with demonstration of our own.

Are they allowed to march down streets with placards saying "Jews eat new-born babies", or "Negros will rape your daughters"? Most of the placards in that demonstration are comparable.
