No sense in provocation
Reader comment on item: Should We Blame a Florida Pastor for Deaths in Afghanistan?
Submitted by Phil Ghidinelli (Italy), May 11, 2012 at 15:27
I dont see any sense in provoking Muslims with this kind of thing. They have every right to their beliefs, its just that there are a lot of them that need to realize that other people have the right to theirs also.
