Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

[reverendjeremiah]

If someone tells me people will die

And that was the terrorists who made the threat. It wasnt an "if such and such happens, people will die" - it was an "You will NOT do this or we will kill people" There is a big difference. One is being careless and the other is refusing to be frightened by a threat. If someone said "Dont you dare pray in public or their blood will be on your hands" would you be thinking the same way about this? If someone went ahead and prayed would you consider it hate speech if the terrorist went on a killing spree like mad dogs? Would you blame the one who prayed? Praying is first amendment protected. Burning korans is first amendment protected.

Fine. Lets say you are right, and this is NOT a peaceful protest. Then that means the man can get arrested for doing this.

Why hasnt he been arrested?

Your example already has an illegal object in it..a bomb. The Mayor would not think twice about calling in a bomb squad. How does a bomb equate to burning a koran? Making a bomb is NOT second amendment protected. Burning a koran IS first amendment protected.
