Oh the irony. the very same principles you want this man jailed for are the same reason we have modern science, and everything that it brought including the internet and this very forum page. remember how the church felt about Galileo, Darwin, Copernicus. Not only did they further the scientific world tremendously, but it started to chip away at church power and it's influence on the world. And it pissed ALOT of people off. They WERE jailed, killed, banned from publishing. Only with sustained effort did they get anything published. I mean, imagine if no one could say anything that offended anyone else. Nothing would EVER get done.
The fact that Muslims decided to riot over a stupid movie is the real problem here. Why does a silly movie give them the right to kill and pillage. Its ridiculous. The fact that someone made an offensive video using a thing that many free citizens enjoy called FREE SPEECH doesnt give people a free pass to do whatever they want in anger. its absurd.
