And...
insulting someone's leader is worse than insulting them. muslims are insulted time and again but muslims were very outraged only this time as prophet was insulted and not just the masses.
Facts : Jewish people all over the world are identified by the "Star of David" !! And that picture had men drinking blood with the star of David on their sleave not Isreali star found on the flag . On CNN infront of the Saudi Ambassador it was identified as the Star of David !!
Same goes for the Star of David that was merged with the Nazi Swastika symbol .
Another FACT : Talibans blew up the heritage statue of Lord Buddha in Afghanistan . There was outrage and
non- violentprotests !!!!!!!
Blashpemy is bad and wrong, but isn't VIOLENCE much worse ???
