Maybe I'm missing the point here - other than the fact people are (rightly) saying the protesters seem to be more interested in speaking out against being offended rather than the pain and death caused by their brethren, what's the problem?

Muslims don't like their prophet being mocked - ok they ought to grow thicker skin but instead of bombing and shooting people, this lot organised an apparently peaceful demonstration. Isn't that all we ask of anyone who wants to protest against something? Yes there are a thousand more important things in the world they could be moaning about but they're not breaking any laws, they're not burning poppies etc, they're just sticking to UK law and following democracy.
