"History has shown that once governments begin to police speech, they find ever more of it to combat. Not only does this trend threaten free speech, freedom of association and a free press, it undermines free exercise of religion." - Jonathon Turley

Athens Riot
Primitive cultures respond to the speech and actions of others with violence. In this case offence was taken regarding the destruction of a book, resulting in violent riots.
Western societies are too tolerant of this sort of nonsense. Sadly, the usual response from the west is further curtailment of the speech and action.
