Poke a stick at a vicious dog, then you deserve to get bit.
Play with fire, then you deserve to get burned.
Tread water in stormy weather, your'e probably going to drown.
Insult anothers God in the most dispicable, disrespectful, and degrading possible manner and you probably will get bit and burned too.
Yes free speech must be absolute, but if you are going abuse the right then one needs to take responsiblity for their actions and the consequences that arise from such abuse.
You can insult Catholics, Christians, Muslims etc. etc. but when it comes to attacking someones God this is when things can turn ugly. I'm not trying to defend aggressive behaviour, but you're dealing with emotions of the highest peak when it comes to a people's God.
What I get tired of is people who insist on pushing rights to the point of instigating a war ... and for what? because they're spoiled brats that want they're way at all costs, and piss on everybody else if they get in the line of fire. When does accountablily come into play?
Sadly, the instigators hardly ever suffer the consequences, it's usually innocent people that get caught in the anger and retalliation.

You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
