""Infact, the very existance of any one of those three religions is an insult any other two.""

That's exactly the kind of ill informed comment that leads to these events.

The Koran refers to Christians as "People of the Book", and respects them as legitimate followers of the same deity.

You should not equate the twisted interpretations of a minority of religious fanatics with the Islamic religion itself.

However, there are some things that ARE different. Islam takes insults to its prophet much more seriously than Christians do, and their reactions are much more physical.

Knowing that and paying their religion the respect it deserves is the way to peaceful co-existence, which would require the effective muzzling of hatemongers like Terry Jones.

I want to see the Benghazi killers in the dock, but only if Terry Jones is treated the same.
