just look at how inflammatory and In-your-face challenging it is to sponsor a draw Mohammad contest to the Muslim community

Be careful there, FRiend. Because that's an extremely slippery slope. If that argument is accepted, think how easy it would be for other things to be classified as "inflammatory". That's how those terrible "hate laws" have come to be in other countries.

Make no mistake, I support Geller, and anyone else in America for free speech, but to compare the two is unfair, and incorrect. I reject Muslims or any other religion coming to blows or worse for differing opinions on Religion. But one must admit, that Gellers in-your-face out and out daring, could be dangerous to her. I don’t think that equates to anything Trump said.

Have I been careful enough?

Yes, pro-abortion people think that showing photos of aborted fetuses is inflammatory, etc. If we don’t protect inflammatory speech and denounce those that use violence to suppress it, then we aren’t actually protecting speech at all. Nobody cares about “non-inflammatory” speech.
