Well, the police did a pretty good job, considering...

I think it's clear which side I'm on in all this - but then, when you have a bunch of people in muslim dress in a room and run a file that says something like "allah gaybar" and have googly-eyed half-naked mohammed floating around the screen... you know it's gonna turn ugly. Brave of him to go ahead? Perhaps. But also moderately stupid in those circumstances.

In the end, both sides flipped each other off and got a small bit of what they wanted. One got to look like a great hero by flaunting a half-naked mohammed in public, the others got to pretend to be great heroes by headbutting a middle-aged guy trying to read a lecture. Both, IMHO, are jackasses. One is an intellectual jackass, the other side are stupid violent jackasses. The latter are obviously a bigger social problem, however you slice it. All there's to that.
