For those who say things about a Religion that is dear to someones heart for the purpose of making them angry will do nothing but stirr up more violence.
But crimes against humanity must be stopped to protect the innocent such as it would be a noble thing to use up to lethal force to stop somebody from shooting up a school.
What I want for Islam is followers who don't think insults justify violence. Although I don't think there is anything inherent in Islam that keeps that from being the case (no Ahmadi or Ismaili terrorists, for instance), that day seems a long way off. It smacks of people being insecure in their faith if they can't tolerate other people making fun of it. The Catholics get made fun of all the time without responding with more than complaints. Whatever their faults may be, at least they can take a joke without shooting someone. I think that's what most Muslims want for Islam as well. I know first hand that many of them, when hearing about a terrorist act, are praying 'please don't let it be a Muslim'.

Obviously you don't understand sarcasm, because if what am I suggesting is truly suicide, how could he end up in an Islamic forum?
So it only counts as suggesting suicide if you really, truly, literally mean it? Whatever you have to tell yourself to believe it's okay, I guess.

If you don't mind my asking, I wonder what you think of muslims immigrating to western countries where freedom of speech is so highly valued who then murder cartoonists for insulting their prophet? Don't you think there is something wrong with asking to be admitted to a new country and then subverting the values of the country they would join? I'm glad we don't admit many muslims to the U.S. I don't trust them to honor our secular values. If I was a european, I'd push to deport anyone who spoke against freedom of the press or even questioned the appropriateness of subjecting the 'prophet' to the same criticism as any other historic figure. Don't like it? Leave.
Kind of ironic to limit the free speech of immigrants in the name of free speech, don't you think?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
