No... I'm pretty sure the Westboro Babtist Church does not hide what they are protesting. They are pretty straightforward that we are all going to hell.

I don't have a problem with him calling for jihad on a college campus - mainly because I know what the word actually means.
"Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread Islam by the sword" as the stereotype would have one believe."
Since the speaker said it at an event being protested, I think it fits. ;-)

Just to point out, I said in my original post that I understood what the word means.
But this guy supports organizations that use Jihad, not as "a struggle," but as an excuse for violence against westerners and Israelites.
Meet another speaker for this "Charity event".

I guess this guy doesn't hate America, he just wants Muslims to take it over. Whatever that means.
In 1992 he said.
He is widely thought to be an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing. During the trial he stated.

And so was the leader of Israel who invaded Lebanon in 1982 ........... which is why Hezbollah was formed.

Deborah Pauley - "We were not protesting a fundraiser, or the rights of peaceful moderate Muslims to assemble.
I am concerned about political Islamists -- a radical element that does advocate violence and terrorism around the globe. They have brought the threat of Sharia Law inside our borders. Sharia is a threat to American freedoms and liberties, specifically the practice of punishing people for speaking their minds freely...."
.
An expert on Sharia law answers questions: (Abed Awad is a New Jersey-based attorney who regularly handles cases that involve Islamic law. He is a member of the adjunct faculties at Rutgers Law School and Pace Law School.) Seems Ms Pauley might not need to be in such fear of losing her freedoms and liberty, due to the threat of Sharia law anyway.
The radical element/extremists in all groups can cause trouble and to me the original video posted showed a small radical element shouting bigoted, unchristian, hateful venom at American citizens. Let's say the "fundraiser" had speakers who were radical in some's view, does that make the idiot crowd protesting them in that vile manner right? Legal maybe, but totally disgusting and bigoted non-the-less.
What sharia law actually means
The right wants to ban it in America, but do they even know what it is?
