I don't disagree, but isn't that common in western politics, too? Certain western leaders manipulate and sensationalize the facts, and create conflict and enemies where there needn't be, and expand their own power and control through these supposed demons. There will always be some people who buy it hook, line and sinker, and a lot of people who don't. Fortunately, thus far it seems that the majority of muslims are seeing past the rhetoric of a few extremist leaders and not getting too riled up about it.
