This. The situations aren’t similar in any way except that Muslims are involved- and it could be argued that they are the victims in each situation.

Why? It’s stupid to get upset because a “bad religion” is moving in next door. It’s also stupid to get upset because someone torches your book of fairy tales. They should both get over it. I don’t see how it’s rational to be offended at one of the actions and not the other. It’s irrational to be upset about either.

Yes, some Muslims hate infidels. Get over it. Yes, some infidels hate Muslims. Get over it.

I sorta disagree. _Ideally_ we should ignore the douchenozzle. If your idiot neighbor wants to burn the Koran… who gives a fuck? But if your idiot neighbor gets a news crew…

But that’s saying “don’t feed the troll”. It’s easier said than done.

They’re really terrible at the lute and they can’t deliver their lines for shit. They should rehearse more, I think.
