If I may add my $0.02...It seems that this event is causing two central problems.
1.) it's making the U.S. look really horrible in front of the Muslim world, as if they needed any more ammo against us.
2.) It's making Christians (like myself) look like bigotted idiots in front of everybody else..in our own country, I might add.
Just my opinion..but I felt this point should be brought up..
And, yes, I realize my points are rather obvious..just felt I shouldn't keep silent.

Sounds like he'll go far in his chosen field.

It's sad, really, that there are 50 people who are so frightened of the world, frightened for their lives, their souls, their destiny, whatever, enough to follow this guy, and that he is so manipulative that he can do this and live with himself. I am not Christian, but have no problem believing that their is a greater judgment waiting for this guy at the end of the road.

Well, the problem is, we can't "do something", other than heap down scorn on these fucking wackos, and call them fucking wackos (which are all doing). Our country is founded upon the idea that fucking wackos can do and say fucking wacko things, as long as they aren't assaulting people or infringing other's rights. Which they aren't, really.

Judaism predates Christianity and Islam.
Judaism's prophet is Moses
Christianity's prophet is Jesus Christ
Islam's Prophet is Mohamed
I went to a Catholic school,...I was somewhat educated before I completely wrote off religion.

The all share the same diety (Yahweh, Allah, God the Father, etc are all the same)
Christianity and Islam are both breakoff groups from Judaism
Judaism believes in several prophets, in addition to Moses.
Christianity believes that Jesus was more than just a prophet, they believe he was the messiah that was prophesied in the Old Testament. That is why he was crucified (claiming to be the messiah and son of God is pretty blasphemous)
Islam also believes that Moses, Noah, Jesus and all of the guys from the bible were also prophets. They just think that Mohammed was the most important prophet.

People need to get over it and stop being dicks to each other about it. No one knows anything about any sort of life after death so what's the point of bashing people ideas/ arguing over something you can't back up or prove?
