Group Of Armed Bikers To Draw Muhammed Outside A Mosque

What could possibly go wrong?

I pray for the best possible, most peaceful outcome here. I extend that to every last person involved but I am particularly pained for the public servants that will likely be dragged into this because some folks are frustrated in a way that makes them want to act on darker impulses. I don't believe in free-speech stunts. I don't think they're necessary, and I think they play into a political construction that's valuable to mad men and destructive social forces in a way that would make someone who just dropped $200 on penny-tossing games at a county fair roll their eyes, point and laugh.

If something does happen, I hope calmer heads mitigate the potential horrors that might result. I also hope any members of the media out there will stop paying specific attention to the personalities involved with this kind of thing in a way that affords them free PR and allows them to accrue power and influence, limited though it may be.
