It's a video...get over it!
This is probably going to piss some people off (and this is not directed at any particular person fyi) but I have to say it, so here goes:While I agree it is stupid, bigoted, and shameful to put out hurtful words, cartoons, even videos that mock another's culture or religion, it's time that some people put on their big boy and big girl pants and get over it.
Just the other day some idiot put a crucifix (Catholic Christian sacred symbol for those of you who do not know) in a jar of urine and put it on display as art. Do you see christians all over the world rioting, burning flags, blaming entire nations, attacking embassies, or killing innocent people over it? No you don't, do you?
Am I offended? Yes, I am. But you know what? I would rather die defending the idiots right to say what he or she wants and display "offensive" "art" than live in a society where we are told what we can and cannot say.
I am sorry for the pain anyone might be feeling that was caused by some idiot on youtube, but this in no way justifies any kind of violence.

I recon myself as a christian believer myself and have the same attitude as you about this.
PS: I still think that most of the rioting was members of the Screen Actors Guild .
We have Muslim neighbors living in our city and they are the nicest people.
