I don´t get the point at all.
1. Close to all wars were started outta religious disputes, still everyone believes unproven crap, that obviously causes trouble.
-> goes on my nerves, so i can understand, how one would like to offend religious persons by burning useless paper and laughing that anone even cares. I see this as a prove for stupitity of anyone who even reacted, so i can also laugh. Maybe it was just a try to symbolize that those written words are outfashioned...and communication is more important than sticking to stuff that is older that any generation you may even know.
2. I can understand religious people as they have a status like "untouchable" on their holy books, so they´d be pissed if someone makes fun of their lord´s word, as they say. I can get that, because if you take something word by word and believe it is completely true it makes you - in any case- a fundamentalist and those can easiely feel attacked by symbolic, maybe even meanles acts. However i think i can image how they may feel discriminated and offended by this act.
3. I can´t really see where the point is to push this out of youtube into worldwide media, because it´s nothing important like the pope was assisinated or a cathedral was bombed or... well, just a symbol of disrespect, which may not be friendly or appropriate, but happens to anything that is in public view.
4. I think a man needed attention and a government needed a reason to cast panic for radical revenges of both sides, that´s all. Why do we argue about the possible aim and affection though?
I simply don´t get that at all.
btw: I know this wasn´t kinda appropriate to many people and if anyone feels offended, discrimated or whatever by what i said, i won´t reply here anymore, PM me, if you wanna talk to my lawyer
haha
/EDIT: title fails, nicely aimed, but politically as incorrect as this post.
