I suppose he could be. He's probably not using an amplifier, though, and probably not an organized religion outside the confines of his shirt and pants.
Or probably people who are naive. You go on being exquisitely liberal; I'll go on advocating measures to make sure Canada is the kind of place you can be that way and settle for being just overwhelmingly liberal.

So there's a line, and all the bigots are discussing is whether it should be a few inches to one side.
So some level of public preaching is ok? or is it just because he's a christian?
yes advocating that discriminating against people on the basis of their religion is a bad thing.

Ok so when radical Islam roots itself in your town remember what we are saying. And if I’m labeled a troll so be it.

From what I observe in Canada today, the likelihood is greater that someone's going to complain to shut him down if he's Christian, and certainly if it's "he" and he is visibly white. If he has a "protected" ethnicity or belief, there'll be social pressure to leave him alone. In Britain, I can easily see the complainant being written up. My theme is that we set policies to prevent making the same mistakes as Britain and France.
I'm not advocating discrimination against individuals. I'm advocating discrimination against an institution, and there isn't really an argument that large parts of that institution are energetically trying to export and reinforce their political preferences. There is no moral imperative to just roll over for that shit.

If it's any comfort, I don't think you're a troll at all.
That said, while a bit of caution about any single religion getting too much of a foothold may be needed, the same things have been said about, for example, Italians in the past, both in Canada and the U.S. And as someone from that ethnic group, I don't feel like we've overwhelmed society to the extent original reports suggested we might, at least here in Canada, anyway

Or As they said in Trading Places; "Religion is Ok when taken in moderation"
that doesn't answer my question, is some level of public preaching ok?
which is made up of individuals. You want to prevent individuals from practicing their religion because you don't like their religion

Sure. Do you understand the advantages and disadvantages of a bright line? I acknowledge the disadvantage that by definition there's an included side and an excluded side.
Every association is made up of individuals. If your worry is that I would prevent people from practicing some aspects of a religion, you are correct. There are things I wouldn't allow from any religion that are right there in their respective books. So, again, it's not a discussion about zero or one; it's a point on a line.
Muslims don't need to colonize communities with loudspeakers to freely practice most aspects. If they want to hang out on street corners with the guy with the Jesus sandwich board and the Hare Krishnas, no problem.
