Several hundred people braved 90 degree heat to protest any encroachments on free speech yesterday.

The rally was held outside a Manchester event aimed at improving relations between local residents and their Muslim neighbors.

U.S. Attorney Bill Killian was a featured speaker at the event, which was sponsored by the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee.
Killian's speech focused on hate crimes, but it was hard to hear much of it over the shouting of the crowd.
Controversy arose earlier this year in the community over a picture entitled 'how to wink at a Muslim' posted on Facebook by Coffee County Commissioner Barry West.
West since has apologized.
