You have put together a very astute analogy, and objective look at
the situation with islam and the rest of the world. No need for me to add anything other than a thank you bringing it forth. There are a few things that I watched with disbelief as they were happening. like the destruction of the twin towers, I saw it, I heard about it, but my mind couldnt digest it, I kept insisting to myself that this was all a joke and soon they will anounce that its a ploy to scare us for holloween or something. It took me a long time to accept the fact that Americans allowed something like that to happen. That our security is so lax to miss the threat and stop the terror.
The Islam Terror on the world is one of those things that also took me a long time to digest, but now that I have digested that and realize the serverity of it, I still find it difficult to believe that there are those who just wont see it no matter what facts you bring forth.
Perhaps it is called denial, or another mental illness, but I just still can't for the life of me believe that so many still don't see the threat that islam is posing on the world. I guess I better accept the fact that some will never see....

I simply pray that the good Lord infects the rectum of every infidel hating Muslim with camel fleas the cure for which I happen to possess. The application to every Muslim ass a handful of sand and a cup of alcohol whereby the fleas will get drunk and stone each other to death. They love stoning anyways.

I agree with this being a media manufactured crises... The guy is not the sharpest tool in the shed and left alone what he did or did not do would not have matter an iota... That being said it is true there is a double standard in where muslims and their faith is concerned... probably because many are afraid of the possible retaliations... but being afraid of them is letting them win... I say screw them and if pastor red neck wants to burn books who cares? Most relatively sane people know that pastor is off his rocker anyway... The intervention of such high figures in American politics to stop the insane act of a nut must have given the radical and also crazy muslims that hate us their jollies... <<<sigh>>> it is a sad sad day when we trample on the constitution to please or rather not to offend those to whom our very existence is offensive anyway. Be well Naut xoxoxo

This is how terrorism works.
One difference here is that no one in any official capacity threatened that so-called minister's life, nor told him he could not do what he intended. They asked and applied pressure, but that is hardly the same as simply killing him for blasphemy.
The guy is an idiot and a bigot, and I suspect the best course of action would have been to ignore him.
Petraeus should never have risen to his baiting. What ignited the great storm over this stupidity on the part of a less than minor player on the world stage was giving it any notice whatsoever. Once it became widely known, the rest was inevitable eruption.
But I think it is important to note that the official protest was on the matter of how a few Islamic bigots would blow this incident to murderous proportions, targetting more Americans easier for them to get at than the fool in Florida whose name I have already forgotten. They were not trying to protect a book nor a deity (who, one might assume, is capable of taking care of its own vengeance) but the lives of our own people who do not need this kind of foolery to make their positions more tenuous, their lives more at risk.
Do you poke a rabid creature with a stick? If you see someone meaning to do that, knowing that in the resulting frenzy, the beast is likely to break loose and attack everyone in reach, do you do nothing?
If world media had not given the Florida bigot the extention of his reach, to actually be able to poke the rabid beast, it would have been only one more moment of stupidity passing unseen in the flurry of more truly significant events.
This is not about Islam being privileged, but about terrorists who have succeeded in doing real harm, and the effort to prevent giving them an easy and pointless excuse to do more.
