Actually, it was the scenes of
cheering people (Muslims, I gather), even as people were falling to their deaths from the towers, that incensed me.
And these were not parades of extremists - these were scenes filmed all over the Muslim world, in the streets, shops and cafes. So, unless the percentage of extremists is VERY high, it is reasonable to assume these were 'ordinary' Muslims.
I agree that a demo by Muslims against those specific terrorist acts would be unreasonable to expect. Very much as it's unreasonable for them to have a demo now about a few cartoons. The cartoons did not kill anyone, unlike the unrest caused by millitant Muslims, which has now claimed at least a dozen lives.
It is utter madness.
