So long as there is religion, there will allways be this kind of petty violence.

The version I saw also claimed that these were "moderate" Muslims. Another example of just how elastic and meaningless the word "moderate" really is. I say those guards should have opened fire.

I can believe they're moderate because if the guy had a weapon Vilks would be dead.
