What does "face the music" mean? So you're saying he should have to face potentially being murdered because he offended someone's religion. I'm sure he would be more than willing to sit down and debate the topic, but he shouldn't have to fear for his safety.
"Opinions have consequences"? Really? Violent ones? No, as a matter of fact, they don't. We have the right to opinions. Our society's very core is based on the notion that people have a right to their own opinion.
I don't disagree with you that it's totally unfair and tragic that innocent people are getting hurt. However, the only people responsible for that are....the ones actually doing the hurting.
