As a Catholic I was offended by the mockery of the pope. But if I were to simply to throw a tomato at the guy wearing the costume, I would be locked up. I hate this fact, but in this case I am on the side of the Muslim. He did not real harm to the guy.

As a Catholic I was offended by the mockery of the pope. But if I were to simply to throw a tomato at the guy wearing the costume, I would be locked up.

Reminds me of a quote:

I hate this fact, but in this case I am on the side of the Muslim. He did not real harm to the guy.

So, you're okay with random strangers suddenly appearing from nowhere and strangling your neck? In my book, if a stranger merely as much touches me with a feather against my will, the person deserves to face legal consequences. It's not about the amount of harm, but rather, the principle of the invasion.
