I've gotta say this...
freedom of speech is MEANINGLESS unless you sometimes dislike what you hear someone say.
If it's somehow "brave" for someone to become famous for a picture of a crucifix in urine (and no one killed anyone over that, btw) then it does NOT mean that it's ok for someone to kill others because their religious icon had a cartoon drawn about him.
It's not brave to denigrate a religion whose followers are far more likely to just carry a sign or (gasp!) pray for you. It IS brave to hold a contest for the best Mohammed cartoon knowing that someone may want to kill you because of it.
To say that it is the "fault" of Geller or anyone else involved in that contest that crazy people came to kill them all is no different than saying a drunk girl in a panty-less mini skirt going to a frat party is "asking for it".
The end.
