What frustrates me about this Texas shooting.

36. What 'very different reaction' do you think would happen?

"Islam is the only religion we're allowed to hate here, it would seem"

'Here' meaning what? the USA, DU, the A&A group?

"So it's okay to kill those who are angry at mocking their prophet, but only if they're Muslim. Right?"

You seem to have reached that conclusion about someone's reaction (I'm not sure who) entirely on the basis of your own hypothetical, which I think you haven't made clear enough. However, the people killed on Sunday evening were killed because they started shooting at other people, so I can't see where your "it's okay to kill those who are angry" comment fits in at all.

To get you started on a realistic hypothetical, here's what happened when someone did propose something to mock Jesus:

15,000 Brits complain BEFORE BBC shows Jerry Springer the Opera

You see - we have small-minded repressive weirdos over here too!

"David Soul, star of West End hit Jerry Springer - The Opera, has defended the BBC's decision to broadcast the show. The corporation has received more than 15,000 complaints over plans to screen the production on BBC Two on Saturday...

BBC director general Mark Thompson said the corporation usually got more complaints when they edited out obscenities than it did when it let expletives go out uncut...

The BBC has said the show is "boundary-breaking" and admitted it will not appeal to some tastes. But warnings about the language will be given before it is broadcast at 2200 GMT. But the National Secular Society defended the BBC's right to screen it, urging the BBC not to give in to "religious bullies"...

The show includes a nappy-wearing Jesus saying he is "a bit gay" while a reported total of 8,000 obscenities was reached by adding every swear word sung by each member of the 27-strong chorus. "

Jerry Springer - The Opera (Scrapped due to fundamentalist protests) (in the USA)

No-one on DU said "oh, they're inciting a reaction from Christians, we expect some Christian maniac would come and shoot them, the producers would bear some responsibility for any attack on them".
