The fact that a simple cartoon that does nothing more than depict a religious leader, sets off violent actions around the world by Muslims is ludicrous. IF I was a peace loving Muslim I would be abhored and ashamed by these actions, so much so that I would be forced to question the validity of that sect. You certainly dont hear much of the peace loving roar do you? A few blips here and there instead of the MAJORITY standing up to the rebels in their cloaks.
IF the minority is a problem do something about it.

Because it's not the minority. The majority are poor. Iran's president won on his appeal to the impoverished of Iran after years of reformation. A large swathe of students and intellectuals lament this sea-change, but it doesn't change the fact that most are Muslims (you really have no choice in Iran) and would nonetheless be unhappy with this caricatures.
