What was Vilks hoping to accomplish by distributing obscene drawings meant to directly and intentionally offend a specific group of people? ... and I am by no means attempting to justify the physical abuse Vilks received. The man who head butted Vilks should be charged with assault.
I think both parties involved were wrong and should be ashamed of their behavior.
No one deserves to be assaulted nor does anyone deserve to have their faith attacked in such a vulgar and public manner. A person is playing with fire when they attack someone's faith which is bound up in strong convictions, emotion and heart. The world does not exist behind rose colored glass where everybody plays nice and will politely walk away if offended unfortunately. The world is full of aggressive, passive and conservative people. We don't and shouldn't tolerate physical abuse nor should we tolerate verbal abuse as there are respectful and decent ways to oppose a point of view without being so insensitive and vulgar.

You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
