That's not what I've said at all. You probably didn't quote any specific examples because you know they don't exist. Now, when it comes to people who would attend such a rally (hate mongers) vs Muslim extremists, I could see myself not caring which ones die. But I care the most about people unaffiliated with either party.
My position has always been that I do not want people copying Pamela Geller's rally with the intent on luring more extremists out. I do not want a bomb detonating at a Stop Islamization of America rally and taking out several city blocks of civilians. The more rallies that occur, the higher the probability of something tragically bad happening.

Would you rather that tragedy happen where there's a force of emergency responders already in place ready to address such a tragedy, or would you rather it happen on a college campus or at a train station?
The people who carry out these attacks are already radicalized. A cartoon of Muhammad is not what's setting them off. They aren't just living a normal life and then hear about someone drawing a picture they don't like and only then, at that moment, decide they should kill people.
