It is a shame that you interpret an analogy so literally. I wonder what you think of people who would do the same when reading the Bible? Perhaps he could have chosen his words or his analogy better. The point still stands. How on earth you link this interpretation to him somehow siding with terrorism is astonishing, though, and speaks volumes about you, not him!He literally says that he himself, the leader of one of the world's major religions, would also react violently if someone insulted someone/something dear to him. His words were not framed as a warning that people exercising their free speech need to be careful because there are religious nuts who might kill them. It was clearly a condemnation of people who insult religious feelings, complete with an admission that he is also capable of violence and that this is supposedly a normal way to behave.
