Yes, it does. I agree, it should have been handled differently. But there were many normal protests too, without violence. Since the beginning of those cartoons there have been petitions against them, peaceful protests from different sides. The cartoonists were told peacefully how insulting they would be. Yet they didn't care and kept doing it. And now, months later we have rallies.

The smaller group of violent protesters have once again seized the spotlight, no they are given the spotlights everywhere while the peaceful protests are mostly overlooked.

I totally agree with you, initial attempts to find a peaceful and civilized conclusion to this imprnding crises was rebuffed by these so-called champions of free speech. My grudge is with the violent nature of these protests, double standards practiced by Muslim states who sit silently with pictures of Abu Ghraib and genocides in Iraq.
