again, unless you feel they had no other response to burning a Quran, they chose to murder people of their own volition, and many other muslims did not
Of course they had other options. The response that we saw was exactly what was expected, however.
from the article: ""We wanted to raise awareness of this dangerous religion and dangerous element," Jones said. "I think [today's attack] proves that there is a radical element of Islam."
that doesn't establish what you claim. If I'm protesting the klan because I think they are a violent organization that doesn't amount to me having a plan for the klan to murder random people as a response to that protest
No, but if you perform some publicity stunt, knowing full well that the Klan will respond with violence, and then they do so, you are partly to blame for that violence.
If you're claiming that he had a certain intent, then it's incumbent on you to offer evidence of such.
Already offered and ignored. You can't counter irrationality with Empirical evidence.
So again, we are stuck with your pointless outrage directed at people who committed no crime, while ignoring people who murder random people
No, the outrage is well directed.
you are. You're excusing their behavior by holding someone else to blame for it
Really? Can you show me a post I wrote in which I said that the actions of the jihadis were OK?
1) why would I care what O'reilly's opinion on the matter was?
2) you're making an appeal to authority, and his argument has the same issues as your own
3) you ignored my point about abortions and the violence associated with them. Are people performing abortions to blame for violence leveled against them, and others, since people have responded with violence in the past?
1. Because he said it well.
2. He has no more authority than I do.
3. Your abortion argument is irrelevant.
