43. Violence is not the answer

I disagree with the placement, but cheering a moron who provokes a public fight is equally stupid. It disrespects others' beliefs and will turn this act into near-martyrdom. Religious nuts are irrational.

This is NOT the way to fight religious intolerance, it is the way that has led the Middle East into turmoil.
