I'm with Gwain. Peaceful protests IMO are going to far. We are not far from a time when countries declared that people should be killed for what they wrote.

Won't read the replies??? Oh, OK. Again doesn't really add weight to what you write does it: a quick post followed by a holier-than-thou attitude dare anyone disagree with the itinerant prophet who has "graced" us

I hate to bring it to your attention but the Western World has not been shook to its knees by the protests, passive or otherwise. If you'd further passively protest by not bothering to write it'd be even better...

The oh so hated Europe has even managed to add a paragraph wishing the Middle East be made a nuclear weapon free zone - which is viewed by many as a slap against Israel.
