Should Morrocans be congratulated for not burning down the Danish embassy, as the writer of this article seems to imply? Look, if the Muslim "street" is "feeling pain" for being backwards, then maybe it should stop being backwards. If the concept of free speech (however silly the caricatures are) is too difficult for screaming rock-throwing mobs to understand, if large numbers insist on responding like brute animals, then they ought not be expected to be treated as anything but. It is only a civilized largesse that keeps this from happening. Which, of course, is part of being civilized. Too difficult for the Muslim "street" to comprehend? Really?
