Don't they know we break their rules all the time? I mean billions of people ignore Islam, ignore the entire religion, even actively pursue different religions, but they don't riot over that. Then some cartoonist draws a picture he breaks one specific rule, and they go bat****. It doesn't make sense.

That's the problem with an insular, isolated culture. When the outside world catches up to you, sometimes you have no idea what's going on and just want to hit something. Like I said in another post, this is just another straw breaking the camel's back for a religion and culture that feels humilated.
In their culture, publishing a caricature of Mohammed is probably for us like somebody posting compromising pictures of your family on the internet...
I have a feeling these sorts of things will be happening a couple of times a year from now on.
I wonder how the people of the Muslim country Dubai feel about all this, probably the richer you are, the less militant you are.
