I have to disagree with you Hutch. I think that the burning makes this guy look like an asshat, but He definatly shouldn't stop it because of some threats from the "muslim world". The way I see it there's two main options here:
Option 1. Islam has a decent sized minority that are willing and able to use terrorism against us (the west). They will find an excuse to do so. It's stupid to try and live in such a way that a psyhco looking for a reason to hate you won't because we'll fail, while restricting our freedoms. We need to understand that some folks will always try to hurt us, work to stop them, and kill them if the succeed, but publiclly refuse to change the way we live at home because of their backwards religious interpertation.
Option 2. The "average" Afghani is so close to violence against us that the actions of one asshat preacher in FL can push them over the edge and spark attacks. If this option is the truth, we need to know ASAP, and nuke them from orbit. Because if that's really all it takes to set the "Average" one off, then there's no hope for peace, because we'll never control all the asshat preachers in this country. Kill all the Afghanis, salt the earth and move on.
Sure this event will spark more attacks on our occupation force, but if it wasn't this, it'd be some imagined (or real but inflated) slight. There's no point in trying to live so that religious extremist that hate us aren't offended. I though South Park covered this all last season. (I still think it's BS that Comedy Central doesn't have the sack to show a picture of Mohumed.)
