He went out and burned a Koran, on the principle that doing so would likely provoke a bunch of hardline Islamists somewhere to erupt in murderous violence, and… a bunch of hardline Islamists erupted in murderous violence. I got nothing against Islam and nothing against Muslims (at least, I got nothing against the ones not actively trying to kill either me, or my country’s friends and allies, at the moment); and I got a lot of problems with burning books.

So many people try to place the blame of the actions of the extremists on others instead of the ones who made the choice. Michelle Malkin has documented a history of the extremists “never” being satisfied and will flare up all the time. So why change our actions based on the fact that it won’t change their choices? They are going to flare up anyway no matter what we do!
