The people doing this are doing it to cause trouble, not to help the poor. They're using the poor as props.

People, poor or not, are used as props for political messages all the time. This time the message ended up feeding at least a few hungry people.

I guess what I'm saying is that the people that are protesting are morons. If you feel passionately about it enough to go stand around and wave signs, the least you could do is bring some pork-free leftovers for a hungry Muslim / Jew.

The bad people in this story aren't the people with a political view, misguided or not, that use that view in a positive way. The bad guys are the ones with a political view that are just standing around griping about everyone else's political views without doing anything constructive.
