That's the problem with the media, all you see are the burning embassies and gun-toting terrorists, when the world is full of moderate muslims that absolutely hate the violence that's going on and argue that those militant protestors are the ones who are neglecting the true meaning of their religion.

In fairness, mainstream media accounts have noted "hundreds" and, in one instance, "thousands," (Palestinians, I think), not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions.

In other words, its our own imaginations that are running somewhat rampant with this.

Obviously, considering there are 1.3 billion Muslims, this is actually still a small event.

It could spin into something bigger though . . . . . obviously there is a certain element within Islam using this to exploit divisions.
