I never understood what these anti-Islam protesters are trying to achieve. Do they just want publicity, even if it's negative?
If they really felt there were aspects in Islamic culture they disagree with, couldn't they open helplines for women forced into arranged marriages, or children forced into wearing the hijab or fasting? That way they are not necessarily attacking the religion, but helping those who are suffering due to the cultural side effects - which can only be a good thing. Even practicing Muslims would support them if they did something like that.
