But the unnecessary repercussions that could result from partaking in such a narrow minded, simplistic train of thought idea is severe enough to make even the most academically ignorant person realize that it just simply doesn't make sense. What's the point to prove in doing something such as that? There is none.
uh...yes. why are all of you morally outraged all of the sudden? where is r/t and dr seuss' moral outrage at bible burnings that happen all the time, for no other purpose than shock value? because a handful of muslims across the world are threatening violence, this is suddenly an unconscionably offensive act, that you would go so far as to call a crime? what a bunch of ninnys you are.

I often wonder this because I think Bill's right. You're fully allowed to cover Mother Mary in elephant dung and call it art, but we're not allowed to portray Mohammad at all.

Personally I'm not bothered by any of this, but if you think Jones is well out of line, then your ire should be directed at the Media covering it. And protesters should go down to block cameras.
