Like somehow they are not responsible for their actions, other people are. I am pretty naive about all the ins and outs of islam but don't they have something like the ten commandments like the Jewish religion that says "Thou shall not kill"? I mean I can't even fathom the comparison of cartoon of the Isis leader that at the end of the day that doesn't amount to a hill of beans compare to human life. Those two muslims weren't provoked, they were assassins. That officer was killed because those two muslim had bloodlust - period. It has nothing to do with any other excuse.

I'm not quite sure you understood what I was asking, though thanks for responding. My point was: these police officers died as a direct result of having to provide protection for people who had already received death threats and ignored them. Did they, the police, deserve to die because some people were determined to push their own agenda no matter the consequences. The point here is that they not only endangered themselves but the lives of these police, whose views on free speech I do not know, but I am sure they would rather not have died for someone else's idea of what is perceived as freedom.
I'll address the last few posts towards me, so as not to be accused of running off, but after this I'm leaving the discussion. It's just getting too confrontational and I'm being represented as something I am not. It seems this is all black and white to most people, no grey areas, which is pretty naive in my view. So, one more post and I'm gone, then you can all continue to argue about this as long as you like. I just wanted to get my point across, and now that I have, and it's been savaged mostly, I'll be heading for the door.
