Ugh, DU. The anti-Muslim sentiment here is getting to me.

96. People DO protest in our country

There were protests outside of "Corpus Christi," and "Life of Brian," and "Last Temptation of Christ"; political protests over the WTO and war, and of course Occupy Wall Street. Rioting after sports events, etc... A person is intelligent, but people in a mob are easily riled-up and sometimes all it takes is one person to throw a garbage can through a window, or start to climb a wall, and then it's just chaos... and this is observable in our country and in the Western world in general (Bloody Sunday, anyone?).

And I really and truly doubt that the VIOLENCE and MURDER was over this movie... I think some terrorist cell saw what was going on and decided to use a slightly out-of-hand protest as cover for what they wanted to do anyway.

I don't blame the movie or the reaction to the movie for what happened. I think the movie is irredeemable tripe from every perspective and as such, I have very little tolerance for its existence and the hurt it does to Muslims. I think they were right to protest it, especially with the disinformation disseminated about its creation. But I don't think that those protests would have become LETHAL if it wasn't for people who already had it in their minds and black hearts to kill Americans.
