Brain-wash(ing) education, brainwash education is causing complication & insecurity everywhere; I don't knooow why...----Marxwel Udọ (musician)
Ọdịghị mma mmadụ ịdị ka ihe e ji kọọ ya ọnụ {It's not proper for a man to assume the nature of the nuisance as which he has been derisively caricatured}----Moses Alugburu (one of very few Nigerians who remain'd consistently worthy of trust when I transacted with'im)
I do hear & do read about "agent provocateur". And we do joke that if one wants to cage a fowl, especially domestic chick, place grains of corn or rice in a line into the cage. The chicken lacks both the intelligence and the intellect requisite for evaluating anything beyond the grains of rice.
But like an anti-Sesse Seko rebel in then Zaïre who in turn "got strogly fed up" with Kabilah said, after Laurent Desirée Kabila was murdered: we don't like this killing, this death; we don't believe in killing people. We believe in changing for the better the evil system that makes some of us (appear to be) enemies in the views of some others of us.
Of course moral & social sanity demand that one "believe not" in killing, or even injuring any humanbeing else excepting 'lawfully convicted, sentenced, criminals'.
...condolences to the family, friend, relations, nation & admirers of the deceased victims & the survivors...
*I feel that who kills other people because he has been insulted deserves something more or worse than insult. (And because the killed were not verified to be involved in the insulting; and the killer didn't even mind to find out the real source & the nature & aim of the insult, & the actual insulter...) he deserves Guantanamo Bay; he deserves the death-gases released into some cave-chambers in Afghanistan during USA's ealier hunt for their arch-friend turned arch-enemy.
I wonder why people capable of sanity refuse to be sane. Why do people who say they worship Allah, and who despise others for not worshipping exactly in their manner, constitute themselves fuses that ignite further dis-worshipping of God?
Can't they wait for a few days or a week: to "look", to peep into the cloud of things--events & nonevents? This is 'an insult'; not a physical aggression. Even if it is, are they their god's god?
An un-ignorable probability exists: the 'insult' exuding from that artwork was not aimed at the grand prophet of mussulimism, nor at genuine practicers of islam. Instead, it is aimed at able-bodied but thoughtless worms; intendedly they would brainlessly (visionlessly) take certain well know actions of their inclination that will justify real anti-islamism, generally or in some regions or nations...
This sort of thing reminds me of a priest expelled from priesthood in Georgia (E Europe). Although he was no longer a christian either by conduct or by office, he continued to lead others, especially the youth, into unspeakable atrocities in his locality in the name of christianism.
Some years before now, a great bookwriter wrote a book (or books?) specifically intended (or maybe, sincerely unintended. Just a work of artistic flavour) to degrade the prophethood and messiahship of Jesus the Christ. How did the believers in & apologetics of this Unique prophet respond? They first studied the book well. Then they brought forth counter-narratives as appealing as--some more appealing than--the great book. Defence websites (e.g. www.jesusdecoded.com) sprang up, constructed by (the) defenders of the christian religion's faith.
Now, what's the status of the book(s)? It's a best-seller; but just one of the many best-sellers there are. Nothing more.
Had those who felt insulted taken to the use of brutish might, they'd have achieved for the gifted writer what he would never have achieved by only writing & publishing a book. And the INTELLECTual creativity involved in & expanded by the processes of contructing those responses would've been lost too.
Had "the people" waited a bit and "looked", instead of following and opportunedly raising the morale of "the killers", they'd have seen the finger or even a whole hand of the facultative enemies of human progress. The hand is what deserves being cut down (not embassy officers or anyone else merely branded) using different strategies & tactics.
Remember, there's a monstrous Mussolini in Ụrụ-shalima desperately designing all sorts of ways with his co-(oil) robbers, the Hitlers in Washing-town, to increase misery among mankind.
