I’m not sure what the point of blaming Muhammad is, but whatever. Are you saying that if he’d never written the Qu’ran in the first place that none of this would have happened at all?

No, maybe I’m not being clear.

I’m making the point that if Jones gets a pass (those ‘defending’ him, not you), so does the guys with the bullhorns driving around lying to the crowds about ‘100’s of Qurans’ being burned. By that extension, Islam and Muhammed are not to blame either, it’s pretty much the ‘magical thinking’ you deplore. As an atheist, I have little quarrel with that.

Another point I’m making is that I see little difference between Terry Jones and those rioting in Afghanistan. Take away the language and redneckiness and you’re left with the same hatred based bigotry at it’s core.
