no good reason

Excellent post Mr. Zala.

One thing I question is if you are going to apportion blame to Mr. Jones for the deaths caused by the complete lack of self control by muslims on the other side of the world - then where do you stop?

If I said I'd go and burn not one - but 10 Korans tonight - in the privacy of my backyard - would that be enough to set off murders elsewhere in the world? i.e. with no proof other than just my say-so here on this blog? I hope not.

But what proof did the imbeciles who murdered innocent civilians need or have - to do what they did?

I suspect - very, very little - maybe just a sentence from an imam - or an appeal by a more frantic co-cultist. They seem totally incapable of introspection - driven purely by emotion with no respect or appreciation of or for truth or reason,

But what I'm getting at is - if you are going to blame Mr.Jones - then you must also blame the media for reporting it. If they had not - then no one would have been murdered at all.

But shutting down the media in order to stop the rantings of irate muslims is not something that we'd welcome and is hopefully something that is never going to happen.
