should be held responsible for the inevitable & totally forseeable result of his moronic actions.

So those who murdered other people because of what the pastor did are justifiedt? It was inevitable that they went out as a violent mob and killed innocent people because some idiot burned a book? And it's nothing at all like shouting fire in a crowded theatre. In that case the people in the theatre are directly threatened and act accordingly. If an immam across the other side of the world decided to burn a bible - how does that threaten me? Or would I be then justified, by your reasoning, to go and behead a few Muslims?

Sorry, but tollerance has to work both ways or not at all.
