This is an interesting line in the story:

Over a thousand protesters had flooded into the streets of the normally peaceful city after Friday prayers to denounce the burning of Islam's holy book, the Koran, by a U.S. pastor, and after two or three hours violence broke out.

Someone has to make the religious leaders who insighted this violence accountable. I know the easy scape goat is the US pastor but, that would be wrong. Burning a holy book is offensive but, not justification for a riot or murders. Someone at their place of worship called them to act violently. That goes beyond freedom of religion or freedom of speech. It is criminal behaviour.
