Although he didn't commit the murder, he was the cause of it. |
And women who wear provocative clothing are the cause of rape. |

Agreed that he didn't break any laws, but should some law be put in place to prevent this from happening again? |
Yes, ban the Koran.:) |

This reminds me of the time I blew up that Catholic church after they openly criticized The Da Vinci Code :mad: |
God I remember that. After the movie there were WHORDS of angry Christians who blamed the West, lit on fire, and beheaded U.N. members. |

At least they were justified in doing so. I mean come on, that book is sacred. |

Yeah let's charge Americans every time a stupid moron in a rural area of a ty Muslim country goes ape and starts killing people. Because third-world radical Muslims are not responsible for their own actions, Americans are! |
Fareed Zakaria pretty much illuminated the audit trail on this international incident, this morning on GPS. Basically, this wouldn't have had a voice had Karzai not been so keen to capitalize off of Jones' burning the Qur'an, one week after he actually did it, in a speech calling for his arrest, in the United States. Karzai, who knew the U.S. wasn't going to do a damn thing (because he's lived in the U.S.) probably also knew he was throwing gasoline on the fire.
After that, Muslim Clerics got a hold of it and that motivated the surrounding demonstration but it wasn't the nominal number of demonstrators responsible for the violence but a few Taliban commandos that got into the camp and ed the up - pretty much to capitalize off of, as well as being rationalized by, Jones' burning of the Qur'an. |

Murdering innocent civilians is never rational. |

Yeah, funny how it's taken since the Munich Olympic Games for terrorism to amount to a functional draw, in terms of strategic importance, causing lots of pain and carnage but yielding disproportionately little in terms of advancing anyone's cause, but one guy sets himself on fire and in less than a year, an entire region is given to tectonic change which actually serves to address many of the underlying problems in that region. It's like they had to have that one last gulp of artificial relevance before having to retreat back into the obscurity of a doctrine now proven to be a failure. |

| If he hadn't burned the Koran, they would have found something else to get "offended" about because their interpretation of Islam demands that they kill non-Muslims until there are none left. |

Those murders weren't a consequence of him burning a Quran. They're a consequence of that whole ideology. It's false justification. An american accidentally dropping a Quran on the ground would probably justify wanton slaughter in their eyes. |

Where-as an American not defacing a Qur'an in any way will also justify wanton slaughter. |
