10 UN workers killed at hand of Afghan mob, angry over pastor's burning of a Koran. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 1, 10:01 28
- Aw, man. IANAL, but is this where free speech turns into yelling fire in a crowded theater? -- nm - con_carne Apr 1, 10:08 26

    - There's plenty of blame and scorn to go around here. - Ender Apr 1, 10:55

    - better than at the pastor whose deliberately provocative actions served the sole purpose of reinforcing his own prejudices against Muslims? - znufrii Apr 1, 10:30 9

        I guess like any junkie he needs a periodic fix. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 10:35 2
        
        then why, if you're going to go through with it, do you do it without any advance publicity? -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 10:40 1
        
        true. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 10:41

      - not sure I follow you. The crowded theater in this case is Afghanistan. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 10:25 3
        
        No, it's Florida. But, not that I wish to belabor my tossed off analogy. -- nm - con_carne Apr 1, 10:27 2
        
        This is what you get for tossing off on ST. -- nm - Jim Apr 1, 10:51 1
        
        He did what? -- nm - British people Apr 1, 10:52
  - I think the media must take some responsibility in this. This wouldn't be an issue if the crackpot wasn't given a pulpit. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 1, 10:12
  - (re: the Koran burning) -- nm - con_carne Apr 1, 10:08 3
    - Don't forget to outlaw cartoons as well. - Dr.Vermin Apr 1, 10:11 2
      - In such a global society, I don't know that such a scenario would be so out of line. You and I have certain things we don't say to each other. -- nm - con_carne Apr 1, 10:21 1
        
        We do? Is it because there's a law against it? - Dr.Vermin Apr 1, 10:49
