Should Jones have burned the Koran? No. But not because doing so might incite some evil people halfway around the world to commit atrocities against innocents. Rather, he shouldn�t have done it was needlessly hurtful without adding any value to the debate. Indeed, aside from generating publicity for himself, he�s likely generated sympathy for Islam and disdain for churches of his ilk.

But Jones is not the slightest bit culpable for the actions of others. Yes, he was warned that violence might ensue. But we�re not responsible for the evil, illegal actions others might take in response to our freely expressing our thoughts. Even if they�re ill-informed, half baked, bigoted thoughts. If we allow the possible reaction of the most dogmatic, evil people who might hear the message to govern our expression, we don�t have freedom at all. It�s worse than a heckler�s veto; it�s a murderer�s veto.

-James Joyner

Best post in thread.

So I can kill you if you burn something that is arbitrary to you but sacred to me. Good to know.

I get a tiny burst of happiness each time I see "This person is on your Ignore List" in place of one of IGK's posts. Sometimes I click to view them anyway and I am reminded of why I put him on Ignore.
