He didn't deeply insult an entire people - have you read the book?

I’m not religious so I can’t really understand the emotions first hand but the book is blasphemous, the Catholic Church has executed people and gone to war over less.
The most recent case appears to be Gabriel Malagrida in 1761.

You might lack the emotions, but you've absolutely nailed the mentality. Bravo.
I’m sure this is /s but for real Iran treats this guy like the UK treats Margret Thatcher so I’m not about to stand on some high horse and be like “clearly the intense emotions and anger of 80 million people are completely invalid and irrational” and instead take a step back and realize that clearly I lack some critical knowledge and life experience that helps me empathize because nobody gets that angry for no reason.
