[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]What it is,  is a reaction to a provocation...[/quote]

This “reaction,” as you call it, was intended to kill people.  
Speech that is provocative is the VERY speech that needs to be protected.  Nice, uncontroversial speech does not need that protection.

Compare this “reaction” on the part of radical Muslims to the reaction by Christians, radical or other, when “Piss Christ” was on exhibit (and endorsed by NEA). 
I don’t remember any Christians arming themselves with the intent to kill the artists or the owners of the museum.

I am not a huge fan of Geller and I don’t condone what she did, but I also do not condemn it.  
I, myself, believe that hurtful actions should be avoided.  As should hurtful words - regardless of the audience. 
But, she has every right to sponsor such an event.  
I just find it interesting that the outrage on the part of the liberal left has been limited to inflammatory speech against radical Muslims. 
I don’t recall the left’s outrage at the inflammatory language and acts against Christians.  [/quote]
