Not really. It's this simple, isn't it? - You should have respect for other people's religious viewpoints. - If something is offensive to another people's religion, you should try to avoid it if reasonable. - It is offensive to intentionally do something that you know is offensive to someone else, purely because you have the freedom to do it. - If your religious beliefs have been offended, you have the right to respond to the offenders within the scope of the law. You can protest publically. You can call for a boycott. - If your religious beliefs have been offended, it is WRONG to react violently to the offenders. Period.
