P.S. add to "not building a possible meeting place for sympathizers" the qualification "of suicide terrorists". Too quickly submitted, sorry...

In America, we prefer not to ban the speech of organizations that we find offensive. KKK, Nazi, Communist, religious extremists, they can all stand on a soapbox in the middle of the public square and shout all they want. Zionists and Palestinian sympathizers can shout at each other all they want, as long as they don't start physical violence. Even more protected than the public square is inside the church. But that's because that's where we came from. We moved here to get away from orthodoxy. Imagine the courage it took to move to a new world and leave almost everything you cherished behind, just for the right to worship according to your conscience without persecution. We honor that courage by treating freedom of conscience as one of our most precious fundamental human rights.
