I doubt all these protests are solely because of the movie. There is a of built up anger among some Muslims in these countries and it seems to all have come out because of the movie.

A talking-head used a phrase that I thought appropriate.

Some people are just "waiting to be insulted"

The below popped up on my facebook feed, immediately after reading this thread. I thought it was rather apropos, so here it is:

13 powerful images of Muslim rage

Personally speaking, having lived in the middle east for several years, I don't see "muslims" as any different than "christians" or "catholics" or "atheists", for example. There are fanatics and and hatemongers among most religious groups, including muslims. They don't speak for all of them. And a few religious fanatics don't represent an entire culture or country, by far.
