Though I do not agree with the violent ways in which some muslims defend their religion and/or culture, I think it's important to remember that islam does actually not support this. Actually a story in the Quran tells how the prophet Mumammad came to a city and tried to convince the people to his religion. But the people attacked him, insulted him, when finally he escaped the city an angel came to Muhammad and asked him if the city had to be destroyed. Muhammad told the angel no, don't destroy those people. What is wrong here is complete lack of understanding about islam, muslim culture, local politics, the cultural opinions and public opinions about these politics, etc. etc. Time after time the US, but also other countries as well as the soldiers sent to the countries turn out to just not be well educated about this. And then here we come, telling the muslim people "Hey we're going to teach u how to set up a western democratic society and releave you from your current regime and don't worry, we respect you guys". We, the self-proclaimed "great mighty western world". We, who just go about offending, insulting not only muslim culture and islam but also our our own cultures and religions! Yes... very surprising that our current ways of "helping" muslims around the world is not accepted...
