I'm sorry that you feel any muslim who is mildly offended by someone's work would be qualified as an "extremis"..or maybe people are so quick to use that word for a muslim everytime they say something that most people would not agree with. I do not justify that man's death, nor did I inference that in my previous posts. I pity simple-minded people like you really and phipsiruss. You go on other threads telling people they deserve to die...maybe you are an extremist yourself? mmmm but then again you are not muslim so....i guess not?
I just can't stand hipocrasy, that's all....

So is the Muslim who was offended by this guy's art and killed him an extremist?
I'm not trying to pull the oppressed Christian card, because i really don't like to do that, but think about how often Christianity is degraded for the sake of art. Paintings of the Virgin Mary consisting of feces, performance artists urinating into jars then dropping crucifixes into them, plays and other artwork mocking Christ's life or portraying him as homosexual, etc. I'm sure that Rudey could expound on the times that the Jewish faith has been mocked as well in the name of art.
The difference is that those artists aren't murdered in cold blood, then have their murders written off as, "well, that's what he gets".
It is refreshing to see the mainstream Islamic groups condemning the killing though.
KS 361 times i'm ashamed of radical Christians that kill abortion doctors and would be more ashamed of ones that kill artists.
