The problem with the reaction is - how representative a picture are we getting?
Very unrepresentative o/c. Hell, even the Muslim Brotherhood have accepted his apology, and most Muslim organisations over here did so before he even made a public apology.
But clearly the actions of a few nutters in Palestine are representative of one sixth of the World's population...
There was a cleric in Somalia who issued a fatwa saying it would now be morally justifiable for Muslims to kill every single Catholic in the world.
The funny thing is, that type of stuff EXACTLY proves the point. Do people honestly think threatening to kill people for calling your religion violent is going to make people think that it's peaceful?
