This issue occurs as a simple proposition in which people who are known to be capable of suicidal violence are about to be needlessly provoked by some publicity-seeking demagogue. Anyone who thinks it's okay to do what this troublemaker plans to do is a fool who deserves to be the recipient of any retaliation to such a stupidly thoughtless gesture as burning the Koran.[Then in that case we let the the fanatics define what we call free speech? Since its only going to offend them anyway. Again as I stated before, "all on them, none on us."
We cannot stop speech based soley on the reaction of idiots.
And this is in no way like crying fire in a crowded theatre. That is an IMMIDIATE danger to life. This is not.
You don't torment mad dogs and you don't provoke fanatics -- unless you're a mindless idiot. Leave them alone!
What happens when just living your every day life isn't 'leaving them alone' anymore? Give an inch, they'll take a mile. If you believe that it will stop, then you are a fool.
