Free Speech, Religious Toleration and Provacateur Fundamental Christians

What if they burned a Bible? The Catholic Conference of Bishops in Pakistan is outraged that the Protestant Pastor in Florida actually did participate in a Koran burning and wants him punished. At least detained. Something. Because it is all over You Tube and foreseeably will incite a riot-or worse-Christians get killed in those parts. I t has already taken on negative repurcussions elsewhere. http://www.cathstan.org/main.asp?SectionID=2&SubsectionID=26&ArticleID=4491 Or should we say-hey we have free speech here-we can do what we want ? Even when it incites murder elsewhere in the world? Who knows what the constitutional First Amendment says about that? Sounds like fodder for a few law review articles. Assault and battery on books isn't a crime- but what about when it is foreseeable to incite murder?
