Why isn’t their “leader” already in jail? He incited the thing and needs to be held accountable, not only those who actually did it.

People in the west have to know that this often is what happens to non-Muslims in Muslim dominated lands.

Though admitedly the Christian Serbs did much the same thing to the Muslim ethnic Albanians of Kosovo, but everyone should know that America and the west did ultimately come in on the side of the ethnic Albanians in that affair just as they did in Bosnia.

But sadly I’m sure it also did much to reopen the centuries old wounds between the Orthodox Christian east and Roman Catholic/Protestant west.
