I can remember sitting on my computer and thinking, "God people are so fucking stupid!" I have a very hard time making it a Muslim thing, even though this video does and it is always in your face as a Muslim thing. My brain, for some reason, calculates the outstanding idiocy of problem to the terms of humanity and what dangerous things can happen when religion is leading the way.
That's fair enough and I'd agree with you basically, but sometimes symbolism is more important to some than the act itself. When some Americans see their flag being burnt they can become quite aggressive - it's a similar, though not exact, situation.

Here's a story that's related to this. Why the publishers got as far as they did before they pulled out is a 'mystery' though. They would have known exactly the possible outcome before they'd even read the first draft...
