I guess to me this gets to the heart of the freedom of speech/expression argument
People WILL die as a result of these acts of blasphemy. American serviceman serving in Afghanistan will die as a direct result of the backlash these actions will cause if they go ahead.
I guess you have to consider, does this church have the right to express their hostility in Islam in this way and cause directly the death of innocent people and American soliders?
Personally I dont believe so - these actions would be criminal in the UK (as Incitement) and I believe that is correct. In America I understand freedom of speech is an idea far more enshrined in the ideal of the nation... but in this case other people will pay the price of it.
