It's just that, ignoring their unjustified retaliation, I find it insulting that people can't even acknowledge that the Muslim community has been wronged.
Wronged? Pardon my seemingly cliche' statement, but it's just one cartoon. Forgive me if I seem to be beating the matter to death, but Jews and Christians have been publicly defiled in far worse matters, and much more often, and yet neither groups rise en masse to cause wanton destruction. Protest? Yes, and the Muslims have the right to protest, and they should protest...but preferably under non-flammable terms.

They certainly have been wronged, yes, and they certainly have a right to be angry, but they are also certainly WAAAAAY over-reacting, especially comparatively speaking.

Besides, the more chaotic they grow, aren't they even more so justifying the cartoonist's opinion?
