I'll agree with this, but probably not for all of the same reasons you think

In some cases, Very... It's unconstitutional for him to not defend them if they are acting within the law and others are not. It depends on exactly which situation you're talking about as to whether that was the case or not, but very clearly you're simply putting all of these people into one bucket and painting them by the actions of the 'worst'
Many within Islam are just as bad as the worst of the Klan, and many of those whom the left 'defend' or characterize as innocent believe and even chant exactly the same beliefs... but they don't actually take up arms themselves so they are 'innocent'. I agree with that, but ALONG with that belief is that I have to extend that same protection to any OTHER group of people who has beliefs that I disagree with.
The law prosecutes people and actions, not 'beliefs'.
I'd ask you Tom... If the government had the power to prosecute beliefs and there weren't a bunch of us on the right who disagree with them having that power, where do you think LGBTs would be today?
I support the right of people to do whatever the hell they please that doesn't hurt others.... which means that I support LGBT rights.... but if the government has the power to 'stamp out' citizens rights based on unpopular beliefs, YOURS would have been stamped out 50 years ago.
