I don't think the Interpol warning can be used in your argument, and here's why: it forces one to accept that people willing to blow up U.S. interests are waiting for a reason to do so - and that one wacko preacher burning a Koran is what will set them over the edge.

I believe anyone willing to blow up U.S. interests already have enough reasons and are simply working through the logistics in order to make that happen.

Therefore, this is no more of an incitement fear than U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan or Britney and Madonna kissing in lingerie on T.V.

I'll give you that it may have caused people to protest and those protests may escalate to rioting, rioting to the burning of U.S. interests. But incitement to "terrorism" seems a stretch.

Another observation: typically, there is a group of like-minded people on this board who rally together and post in support of a position. That group does not seem to exist surrounding the position you've taken. I'm not picking a fight, I just find that curious.
