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
