My thoughts exactly.
Can't we simply ignore a bunch of nuts in a small town in Florida who want to start a fire in their backyard?
It's the same way I feel about terrorism. Can't we just accept the unfortunate loss of life that occurs when some nutter/group of nutters decide to murder people, instead of, you know, being terrorized?

Do we hear about every KKK barbecue? Do we need to? Aren't we better off if we don't provide free publicity? Right now some angsty teenager is doodling Muhammad on his notebook, and unless someone throws gas on the fire by making it a news story, it will remain a non-event. There is a cause and effect with stories like these--the media create the news, like the ground zero mosque story.
