Leftest?
Frankly, you would be hard pressed to find a more conservative crowd that the hippies and almost all protesters during the 60's. They dressed alike, thought alike, all said the same things, listened to the same music, believed in core absolutes of morality such "all men are created equal" or "Justice for all" or "make love not war" (who was it that said turn the other cheek? ). They wanted smaller government and for the US to stop invading other nations. They favored fewer taxes, caring for each other, mutual civilian assistence in education, health care and resources.
The ony riotous actions I recall was when the leftest fascist dictators called out the storm troopers.

Good to see you back again and hope you stop in often.
You should not assume that saying anything you want does not come without consequence if you insult Islam.
Insults never justify violence.
You have the right to go into Harlem and say what you want about black people. Or you can go into KKK and say some things about white people. However, you should not expect a letter to the editor in response by that community.
Yes, and in a civilized society, if those communities reacted violently, those people would be found, tried and if convicted, punished.
There is no way within a civilized society to justify violence in response to insult.
