Doesn't faze me much. There are plenty of people expressing hatred toward Muslims online, but these twits cannot get much of a turnout when they require the gumption to stand there in person and be recognized as a bigot.

Would concern me more if the protesters numbered in the 100s or if they were physically violent. This media coverage, while justifiable, probably does more harm than good. Up to 15 people in a city of 2.6 million is such a drop in the bucket. They're probably glad to be getting press, but they don't deserve any.
