Protesting Oxford Style

Why can't everyone around the world who is upset about anything protest like this?  This afternoon, at one of Oxford busiest intersections a group of muslim men stood in the rain, in silence holding colourful sheets of cardboard with simple messages of protest.  They made there point of view, without upsetting the whole of the city, without hurting anyone or destroying any property.  These guys need to be congratulated for the manner in which they have made a point.
