No...The religious knuckle-dragging wing-nuts should NOT "get a pass" for doing something deliberately that they knew would inflame people of another religion, and likely lead to violence.
With all due respect, these peace loving Muslims would have been suicide bombers or attacked Israel.
Are you actually saying that the Arabs should get a pass because they were inflamed to this violence?
Of course not, Nmysys. The Muslims that murdered these people bear the blame for the killings, but the killings were a response to the Koran burning. Should we be surprised when someone is baited and then the bait is taken?
sheesh nmysys, I could post that the sky is blue and you would take issue with it. Pardon me for posting my opinion, I should have known that you would attack me for it no matter what I posted.
Oh FYI....I'll be local in a couple more weeks, but I doubt that will make me any more welcome here by you.
Everyone has a right to their opinion here and NO ONE should be called names for it. There is a ring for that. Go there and start a second thread if you need it.

I thought the incident occured in Afghanistan...... Why would you say Arabs did it?

I guess you didn't know that Qaradawi has been banned from travel in Palestine ---- BY Palestine. He's also been banned in Saudi Arabia and Iraq (I doubt he'd be welcomed by my former host country). Egypt banned him, for his involvement in the Brotherhood. (the speech you showed, was a bunch of people expecting a revival sermon)
This clown is in the same camp as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, et al.
(Yes - Al Jazeera has a show with him - but mostly because his fatwas are wildly entertaining, and generated -- something like our own fundamentalist factions, which are put on TV at 3-4 AM)
