I find the advocacy of the self immolation of young Tibetan monks as outrageous as the practice of teaching young Muslims to engage in suicide bombings all in the name of religious belief.
Notice that the two people convicted of inciting are themselves not exactly proponents...them being still alive, and all.
PT: agreed.
It is just outrageous to end one's life for any reason in the name of religion. If the end to a person's life is the answer to every problem, then the world's problems can all be solved with another doomsday.
