      Someone being disrespectful isn’t even close the being the government’s business. You can be as disrespectful as you want, burn a Koran every day if you please, and the government should not (or be able to) do anything about it.

      So is calling for death to dissenters and unbelievers. Actual murder of them is morally abhorrent. That god and that prophet are no more special than the thousands of others remembered and forgotten.

      Religion poisons everything.
