If the people who commited these murders are no better than psycopaths holding people hostage, what is the correct action against them? I'm going to tell you this right now, giving in to their ideological demands (that islam should be help above all other ideologies) is not going to discourage anything.

What the heck would burning a book prove though? That's basically telling all Muslims to go fata themselves and saying "I spit on your religion". Sure he is free to exercise his free will, and that's exactly what he did. But in the end, his action cost some innocent people their lives. I hope this pastor is able to sleep at night, because his stupid action of self righteousness led to the death of 8 people.
