As Americans everybody is given the freedom of religion as well as the right to bear arms. The right to bear arms was meant for self-protection, not provocation and intimidation.

Recently in Phoenix, a few individuals organized an anti-Islam protest. The protest took place outside a mosque during Friday prayers. The event organizer, a veteran of the Iraq War, posted pictures online of himself wearing a shirt depicting crude slogans about Islam. Individuals at the rally also came armed, likely intimidating many of the men, women, and children at the mosque.
As a 13-year-old Ahmadi Muslim boy, I do not agree with this. The caliph that I follow taught me that a sword can bend someone’s head but not their heart. As Americans everybody is given the freedom of religion as well as the right to bear arms. The right to bear arms was meant for self-protection, not provocation and intimidation. Provoking and intimidating is anti-Christian. Overall, I believe that the protesters should practice the peaceful teachings of their religions before trying to teach Muslims how to be peaceful.
