I think it's stupid. Little more really needs to be said.

Islam is currently the most intolerant religion in the world, but only because of modern anti-western clerics. It used to be far more liberal than Christianity was at the time.
Whatever the answer to achieving lasting peace is, our matching their intolerance with more intolerance definitely is NOT it!
There needs to be MORE tolerance - and not just tolerance but acceptance - of one another;not less!!!

The video seems unavailible now.

Go back to it and click where it says watch it on Youtube (that is itself a link) and you can see the video... provided you don't mind sitting through the advertisement first.
Personally I think it's not worth your time unless you enjoy listening to bigoted idiots air their views on CNN.

I didn't actually watch the whole video, but I've seen the story before and know what it's about. So I should probably point out here I didn't actually hear what they had to say on it.
It's stupid things like this which people look at and say "see, this is proof Christians are intolerant." Of course that brings up the question of why people think it's good to stereotype, but they will do it and things like this don't help.

I'm with Kyle. That's dumb. Reminds me of that quote by Heinrich Heine: Where they burn books, they will soon burn people.
Though that being said, there are Islamic radicals out there who have proven that they will stop at nothing short of slaughter (Of western people or their own people) to achieve their ends. And those people must be fought with the same ferocity. The problem with that of course is: the majority of Muslims are, I imagine, innocent and peaceful. And the extremists always ensure there's lots of collateral damage.
It's an extraordinarily sticky situation this one.
There's a permanent tension in music isn't there? On one hand you have three chords, you know, four four and three chords. Then there's the people like me, who say "Well, why don't we add a fourth chord and put it in five four?" - Bill Bruford
