Christian and Muslim tension

In the article it is talking about how an Arab festival in Michigan had to be moved because of complaints and law suits from several people.  It goes on to talk about how over the course of the festival for these Arab people that there were no problems until a couple of years ago when Christian missionaries started getting violent.  In the years after 2009 when the violence started it has only gotten worse so the city and the members of the festival have decided to move it to a location that is not open to the public.  They mayor said he believes that free speech should be allowed, but hopes that things don't get as heated as in years prior.
