It is not about the cartoon

[question everything]

it is about ignorant people every where, whose sole source of information and commentary come from clerics during prayer services who flame them into action. Whether it is about "baby killers" or "perverts" in the small villages of Georgia and Oklahoma, or whether it is about the "infidels" in the Damascus and Beirut - the action and reaction are the same.

1. ignorant people drew the cartoons and ignorant people reacted to them

so, you are right.

2. Actually...

These idiots running around burning crap proved the cartoonists absolutely correct.
