Actually,
I can understand why he did it - if visual representation of Muhammed is against the basic principles of Islam, then I understand why so many people are (if you'll pardon the expression) up in arms about it.
Doesn't mean that I agree with the way things turned out over the weekend, but I can understand where some of the tension originated.

Also, as SWW says, I'd be more inclined to try to track down some of the people who burn the flags and wave the billboards with such aplomb, but have to hide their faces whilst doing so.
At least this guy had the good grace to leave his face for us all to see...
