4. The irony is boundless
"Don't depict our god as a source of violence... or we'll kill you!"

8. I want to know the context of his being there
Was he there KNOWING there would be Muslims present who might get offended? Ann Coulter does this a lot too by the way. She goes places to get a rise out of people and then plays victim. DUer's shouldn't be so quick to defend this Lars Vilks simply because they hate religion.

16. So it's ok for someone to go to a place to stir up trouble?
If Ann Coulter did it, I'm almost certain the reaction here on DU would be 180 degrees different.

18. Yes - it - is! It's very okay. Your argument was used against the abolitionists, the Freedom Riders
the Viet Nam War protesters and the Iraq War protesters, to name a few. And before you counter that it's not the same - it is the same. Maybe not to the same degree, but it's the same form.

Trust me, the people using your argument 40 years ago thought the same way about their issue.

9. Hey, cops with long hair!
Guess they haven't caught up with the trend here for shaving the head. Although admittedly it's a boon for bald men.

10. Free speech
Unfortunately free speech is being restricted by thous who want to control us and our thoughts.
"If liberty means anything at all , it means the right to tell people what they do not want to
hear"-George Orwell

14. I wonder why our religious redneck don't ally themselves with this
hate of women - check
crazy idol worship - check
zombie followers of dogmatic leaders - check
kill those who disagree - check

What's the difference?

15. Lars is probably a pacifist, but...
If I was him I would have jumped up and knocked that kid the fuck out.

These kinds of people only respond to force. If you let them threaten and attack while turning the other cheek they'll do it forever. Smack the shit out of them and take their empowerment down a peg or two. These are basically kids.

I know, I know, violence should be countered with peace and rational discourse but we all know, once in a while, someone needs to get smacked upside the head.
