why would this cause violence and destruction..?

Honestly, it's just another excuse for violence and mayhem that can be blamed on something other than them.   If you call them a name, they will feel obligated to retailiate with war.   \n\nIt is comical how various religions have to be tolerant to ridicule and others do not.   Could you imagine Christians going to war every time some said, "God dang it."   Or every time someone depicts Jesus in a bad way....kind of like that short-lived sitcom that portrayed Jesus as a pot-smoking hippie.    How about the Buddists?   In the 80's having a little fat Buddha looking idol was common with old ladies in bingo halls for luck.   \n\nIt's all about "Sticks and stones...."   The whacko muslims just can't find enough reasons to lock and load and go kill unarmed civilians.   They don't have the balls to take the fight to the soldiers and really stand up and die for Allah.

I think terrorism is the result of violence, and for most people violence can only be answered with more violence: terrorist acts. For example if you drop bombs in a country, and invade a foreign country, you can only expect more violence in return, so the only way to stop violence is not to use it as a way of changing the world.

Why are Americans so violent?\n\nWe drop bombs whereever we please. We have killed tens of thousands of Iraqis. I think we are the most violent people on the planet.

Religion has been used as the justification for so much violence. But humans are naturally violent animals. Religion or no, we will always find something to squabble over.

Noone fights for God. People fight for themselves and their own selfish  desires. To claim any act of violence in the name of God...ANY GOD, is a load of crap.

It seems it all stems back to religion.  There will always be war and bloodshed until all organized religion is extinct.

Sorry, but creativity and destruction are inextricably linked, especially where humans are concerned.\n\nThe only way to do it would be to destroy the destroyers, and that would pretty much defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

I still don't understand why some people feel that violence is warrented or acceptable as a form of protest.  It was a cartoon, sure it was offensive but isn't a violent reaction more so?  Muslims are always complaining about being painted with a broad brush of being violent.  How is this helping to dispurse that stereotype?

If your government did not want to react to this with violence, I'm sure they had a good reason.  Or maybe they are just not ready to react.  Have you asked the head of your village or town?

Because it is against the LAW. The load could fall damaging property, hurting OR killing someone.

Violence only begets violence.\n \nI know that sometimes it seems the only way, or even the easiest way, but in the long run you will be doing yourself more damage than you know. \n\nTry more sensible solutions.  Reason, compromise, and remember to pick your battles well.  Ask yourself, is it even worth it.  \n\nLife is to short.\n\nLive well.

where there is people...there is conflict...where there is conflict, hate is generated. You won't a place with peace. You have to find peace within yourself, and that would be enough to carry you trough a hard world

Because we are human. It is in our nature to destroy as we create. Accept it. There is nothing you can do.
