This is serious. 

Sorry I can't take such mess seriously.

Uh, rude. This country is a lot more accepting of Muslims and Islam than Europe as a whole, especially with the rhetoric during the refugee crisis. In cities across the UK, France, and Germany (especially) there are huge populations of segregated and oppressed Muslim people. France even went as far to ban the hijab and burqa (granted along with other religious items, but it was certainly targeted at Muslim Women).

So kindly, don't sh*t on America for non-violent (ignorant) protestors. 

So what if other countries have worse people? Many Americans are still over dramatic about the most idiotic things ever. And it's not just about them being over dramatic, it's about them worrying so much about what other people do and believe in. Many have been complaining about Starbucks not having Christian inspired imagery in their red cups, Caitlyn Jenner getting a meaningless award from a fashion magazine and even Oxford including an emoji in the dictionary.

I'm not being rude, I'm being realistic and honest. This kind of people are in every damn state and city in the US. They are everywhere. I've been in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Uruguay, Canada, Argentina, Mexico... but the US is the only place I have been where you can find them wherever you go.

Just because they didn't use physical violence it doesn't mean it's a non-violent protest. They were yelling and saying they are going to hell and that God hates them. That was not a peaceful protest and verbal violence was clearly present. 

I'm not s--tting on America, I'm not the one who is embarrassing the country like that.

Just because America values freedom of speech over someone else's feelings, doesn't make it a more hateful country. We have much better race and religious relations here overall than across the pond.

Why are you still using the whole 'they are worse' argument? Just because other countries have more radical people it doesn't mean the US is not full of crazy and violent religious people. 

And this "freedom of speech" demostration is indeed hateful.
