You know, I'm not a religious person by any means, so the closest iconic
symbol that holds dear to me is the American flag. Every day, this flag is
publicly burned, spat on, desecrated, and what have you. Does this prompt me
and thousands of others to riot like violent lunatic assholes? No, and in
fact I think it's important that we continue to allow these ingrate fire
artisans (at the very least the ones in the US) the right to burn the flag
as it is an essential freedom (and not because my constitution tells me so,
it's simply because expressing yourself, however unpopular, should always be
protected from tyranny, intimidation, and physical violence). The rest of
the civilized world shows remarkable restraint when symbols held dear to
them are befouled by jihadist piglets, yet look what happens when the coin
is flipped.
So when I hear that some book takes a bath and 7000 miles away a bunch of
shitheads decide to react with deadly violence resulting in their own demise
- BOO HOO. Social Darwinism wins again. I mean really, if flushing a book is
all it takes to knock off a few violent jihadist thugs then...well
nevermind.
