That is completely ridiculous. Saying that he was the cause of these murders is like saying the Jews were the cause of the Holocaust.

What I am attempting to say is that if he had not burnt the book, then those people would still be alive. |

People are complaining about a guy burning a book when there were 14 people murdered because of it? That doesn't seem a little backward to you? |

If the media has not reported his burning the book, those people would be alive, right? |

| Of course they would, because non-Muslims are never murdered in the Middle East for no reason...:rolleyes: |

You're completely failing to recognize the responsibility of the murderers.
I see your logic, and I agree that Pastor Jones is a -eater who shouldn't be allowed any publicity whatsoever, but his entire point is that Islam breeds violence... and so in indignant objection to this, a group of Islamic men storm a UN Compound and murder 7 people. WHAT?
Men should be held accountable for their actions. Pastor Jones burned a book and said some harsh words, but that is the extent of his pathetic part in this. To blatantly ignore that the murderers are responsible for pulling their triggers is to completely undermine their accountability as human beings in society, and frankly, borders on an insult to the potential of the third world to pull itself out of squalor despite its admitted fetters by first world occupation. It's as though you're saying the shooters could not possibly be held reponsible - after all, they're just stupid Tribals. |

:stongue:
Ok, I didn't mention the guys that pulled the triggers. Yes they are MORE SO at fault than Pastor Jones as they reacted to an insult essentially. Don't get me wrong, they should be the first ones to be punished. I guess I didn't make that clear, but I thought it was obvious, my mistake.
My point was that Pastor Jones should not get off free for this. He could easily repeat what he did, and I don't think he would have any quibbles about doing so.
Do you agree that some form of punishment should be dealt to him?
Arguably we could blame the media (to be fair I don't think the recession would have been as bad if the media didn't hype it up as much as they did), but then where would the finger pointing stop? |

No. Yes, he's clearly a large bag of douche, but he didn't break any laws. His way of protesting was burning a book, their way was murdering a bunch of people. |

Agreed that he didn't break any laws, but should some law be put in place to prevent this from happening again? |

| Jackson, I think I know what you're talking about. he's a total douche and his actions did spark somewhat of an international uprising. was it him specifically? was there other details we're not aware of? possibly. while he's a total douche and probably shouldn't have done this...on the other hand, it's more aggrevating to me that people go to such lengths of violence so fast. (of course, there are a lot of details that perhaps we don't know about them either). all in all, it's a crap situation. |
