Of course they shouldn't have been killed. I have gone to great lengths to explain this. However, if someone says "Do that again and I'll kill you" and you KNOW they mean it, and you do it again, how can you be surprised that they carry out their threat? We're not living in Utopia. Sometimes you need to use common sense in your life, and understand that some things are bigger and more important than your ego.

uh I personally think this whole thing is pretty shocking. how many cartoonist get killed per year because of their cartoons? how many people that write satire about islam end up getting murdered? I mean you can use the "poke the bear" thing all you want but this isn't a high probability event

Every single time there is a cartoon depicting Mohammed there are riots, death threats, and so on. Not everyone gets killed, but you can see it pisses them off so why would you continue to court disaster?

I agree with this. I wish I was as enlightened as Chula or TH to the point where I can wake up ready to hear about deaths on the part of extremists. Would have made 9/11 a lot easier to deal with.

That doesn't even deserve an answer. It's so beneath you man.

Nobody wants to understand. It's so much easier to just pull what you want from what anyone says who voices a different opinion.
Once again, the police? Anyone? Or have you just to admit I have a point and can't defend it?
