Why do we not see ANY Christian Groups protest the hate spewing Westboro Baptist Church?

They carry vile hate filled signs..scream vile insults at the mourners...make a mockery of Christian beliefs...yet we see NO ONE of the Christian faith protesting the actions. It's exactly like Muslims who claim they don't support terrorism, yet fail to speak out against it! Input folks?

Update:

@ wahnote...the question was not who supports the families...the question was WHY do Christians fail to speak out against these people? and as far as "assuming" ? I have no idea what on earth you are talking about...the term "atheism" was never mentioned...so why do you even bring it up?

    I agree entirely. People shd stand up and say this is not christian/muslim. Free speech is one thing but spewing out mad wickedness is another.

    The WBC exists with the support of publicity, notoriety, and lawsuits. If you attempt to fight that with their own tactics, you only make them stronger and give them the appearance of validity. Prejudiced people are going to believe whatever they want about Christians. We do not act to gain the support of nonbelievers. We act as directed by God.

    If you ask a Christian, they wil tell you that they are opposed to the actions of the WBC and the beliefs they espouse. If you ask us about adultery, homosexuality, fornication, stealing, murder, or any of a thousand different topics, we will give you our beliefs. But, we rarely (if ever) set out to actively oppose ANYONE who is not attacking us directly. And, we certainly are not going to engage in activities that are counterproductive... .

    I agree. So just like the Muslims must agree as they are not speaking out then other Christians must also agree with WBC when they don't speak out against them.

    Didn't you see all those groups that was supporting the families that were hurt by the Westboro Baptist?

    Don't assume they are all atheist.

    A very good question.

    It took a group of BIKERS to turn these hatemongers away from a child's funeral.
