Knowing how extreme most Muslims are in the middle east, and knowing that we have troops there and other American civilians there it's outright criminal and irresponsible in my view. His actions are the equivalent of accessory to murder in the sense that although he did not commit the murders himself he set in motion the events that would lead to the murders.You may be willing to give up your freedoms to appease some backwards ass cave dwellers in some 3rd world country, but I will not. How about that right winger who went into that unitarian church and started blasting people with a shotgun? He did it because he got mad about anything liberal. So according to your logic I should be held accountable for this crazy fuck because I spread liberalism..what "caused" him to go on a killing spree. Terrorists are not to be bargained with. They are to be watched closely and dealt with harshly when they act.

His actions led to various deaths and the toll continues to rise. There is no justification for what he did amendment rights or not. Afghanistan is not America and do not adhere to nor acknowledge those so called amendment rights. He should have thought very carefully about the consequences of his actions before he burned the Koran, if he wanted to do it so badly he could have done it privately in front of his church lawn and not make an international affair of it. Video taping the event and posting it on youtube was even more stupid.
We are not popular in the middle east and this does not help one iota.
Right, because the people who went on a killing spree had a good reason to do so. Dont give those cave dwelling blood thirsty idiots over there special treatments or benefits of the doubt. This man burnt a book.. the blood thirsty rag heads ran around killing people. Religion of peace my ass..this should reflect VERY POORLY on Islam as a whole. If we give special protection to Islam, then why not do the same for Christianity, or other religions? Should someone be jailed for burning a bible as well? Or is it okay for them to burn it, as long as it doesnt offend the muslims?
