    Most people don’t turn to violence even if an idea they hold dear is attacked.

    Are you suggesting that we hold Muslims to a lower standard than that? If you do, then I think that’s pretty racist of you.

        I include Muslims in “most people”. My point is that the gov’t shouldn’t give in to a violent minority, because everyone should be held to the same standard.

        Or perhaps “Just stop oil” should start bombing and killing to get some results?

            Chill. Your interpretation is that I didn’t, But I did. It might not have been as clear as it could have been, but typing on mobile is annoying.

            If I suggested that we should ban meat eating because it offends vegans and some might turn to violence amd terrorism you’d call me crazy. Why hold Muslims to a lower standard than? Are you suggesting that they are incapable of controlling their emotions and that others should therefore change not to upset them?

                “not because of the feelings of vegans- but because of ethics and to save this fucked up planet!”

                But those are the feelings of vegans.

                Let’s start with the vegan argument. It’s about you being forced to follow their rules, or some of them will turn to violence against you, or against society at large. Being opposed to that isn’t “veganophobia”. It’s common sense.

                I agree with you that people who feel the need to burn the quoran right now is doing it to get the precisely the reaction they’re getting, outrage, violence, etc. They should get their heads checked out.

                Right now I don’t agree with anyone involved in the situation. I don’t agree with the quoran burners because they are just out to incite violence, I don’t agree with the muslims who use violence to protest against it, and I don’t agree with the state who wants to take away our rights to hold a peaceful protest because it upsets people.

            You said you weren’t interested in debate and you would just block people. Now you’re a fool and a liar.
