I agree. If Christians are to be allowed free expression of religion by the state, then other religions must be allowed free expression. This was not a case of persecution for Christian beliefs; this was a case of Christians persecuting others for their beliefs.
Furthermore, the idea of shouting out from the Visitor’s Galley is odious. We don’t want Cindy Sheehan to make a fuss? We must follow the same rules.

Yeah, the nerve of them, disrupting the world’s greatest deliberative body of thieves and traitors.
What would we come to, if the people’s voices were heard in the Senate chamber?

I agree, GAB. If one religion is allowed to speak out, all are allowed (within the constraints of time and good order.)
The shouters embarrassed Christians who understand liberty. And courtesy.
