i think you should remind yourselves that shock and moral outrage that self-perpetuates and spreads itself is not a uniquely islamic thing.
see any western tabloid that creates indignation that spreads through the less-educated and less-fortunate by its own power.
Show me the massive riot pics and fatwas from topless princess photos.
how about the pediatricians that had that offices and homes smashed up when our media were stoking an 'anti-paedo' campaign?
stupid, poor, uneducated people get angry and incensed the world all over. let's not pretend all western discourse is rational and civilised.
the killing is a barbarism and the rioting is just a total 'wtf', but the west gets embroiled in this sort of facepalm shit every now and then, too.
people are confusing an act of barbarism with an inherently 'barbaric' culture, implying they are completely backwards in comparison to us. not really so.
