And obviously the religious men with assault rifles didn't rise to the occasion. You can't impose your sense of morality on fanatics.

True, but being free means you stand up for yourself, that you don't let the threat of violence control you. It's what this country was founded on. Telling these men they can't hold a convention that radicals see as grounds for a shooting spree is conceding that it's okay to go on a shooting spree over a cartoon. They are not responsible for these two men showing up with AK-47's and opening fire on innocent people. The men who showed up with AK-47's are. Being free means not being a pussy. Samoht is advocating the opposite - letting the threat of violence control your actions. Or as I like to call it, being a pussy.
