I think it is noteworthy that this group of Muslims does not seem to be reacting like fanaticals that pledge death to America and anyone non-Muslim at the slightest hint of an insult or a cartoon or a mispoken word. I think we should be encouraging this kind of measured response - they seem to be willing to work within the laws and existing framework for dealing with something like this.

You seem to believe that they did not dunk the prophet themselves. I don't.

You seem to believe that they did not dunk the prophet themselves. I don't.

I can't discount the possibility off-hand - although a true Musilm would never do such a thing, it is all too easy for the fanatics among them to get a 'pass' from whatever mullah they happen to follow to do anything as long as it hurts non-Muslims.

All I am saying is (again, assuming these guys are legit), this is an offensive act and it's good that they are following the laws and protocol of this country to resolve it.

Very good point. It just never occurs to Christians, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus to dunk a Koran in a toilet to insult Islam.

We don't have to for one thing, and besides, it's just a book.

99.99% of the Koran in the toilet crowd (where someone actually does that) are Moslems seeking to achieve status as "official victim" of whatever other religious group might be around.

Now I can't speak for atheists, but it might not occur to an atheist either.
