Ustwo,

I don't see any inconsistency at all in people's position here.

I think people should be as tolerant of things like "Piss Christ" as they are of things like the image of a Koran in a toilet.

To me both are repugnant, but neither should be cause for killing and rioting.

The same goes for hate speech.

I do see a real inconsistency from the Muslim world however.

I just read an article on line that Saudi Arabia routinely destroys Bibles. This apparently happens to many evangelicals who are bringing them into the country. But how would they react if we did the same with Imams carrying Korans coming into the US?

I think we both know the answer.

So for me at least, I do NOT accept their intolerance and I think more people should speak out against it.

But I also don't see that it has anything to do with this particular case, except maybe to point out the inconsistancy some people have.
