How is a protest against "islam the religion as a whole" where people protest by wielding guns is acceptable?
The main theme is pretty clear here:
"Against the islamization of America"
And they're standing outside a mosque holding rifles.
The precise reason is written in the article:
"he was convinced that Irving’s mosque had established the country’s first Islamic court earlier in the year—a false rumor that started online but grew in popularity after Mayor Beth Van Duyne made it the focus of speeches to Tea Party groups.
“They shut the illegal court down,” Wright said, incorrectly. “And then, they threatened to kill the mayor.”"
A bunch of gun-wielding lunatics that think mosques are setting up secret courts.

My argument was, it wasn't "against Muslims" as a whole but just against "islamization" by supporting the candidate of protesters, that makes a big difference. For example, Ataturk was effectively against islamization of Turkey, as its top political leader, and made it much more modern and more secular state, ending sharia courts in 1924. Which was a worthy goal for anybody who wasn't an islamist.
