Until the majority of its adherents no longer live in the dark ages. Until then, they will react like savages when their worldview is challenged by people thousands of miles away. The middle east does not have many evolved people capable of critical and rational thought, and this isn't going to change any time soon.
Therefore is up to the west to stay out of their business and not provoke them. We should know better. If they want to live in the dark ages, then let them. Even if we are offering them 72 tangible virgins per male over 18, and a million dollars to every person who can spell their name. If they don't want it, then we should get the hell out.

Well, we have some major fuckin' problem here then, because ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE has the potential to open a can of worms by posting something online that will offend Muslims.

@Mr.Jingles:

Again, the same thing happens with people posting things online that insult Christians, Hindu's, Buddhists, etc., *only you'll need to look a whole lot better to find media that report it*

Just an example - there have been several reports of muslims burning churches. Have you read about the two torchings (one in Belgium, one in Holland) of mosques in 2011? You haven't, because only Dutch and Belgian media reported it.

Then there is the problem of just plain fake reports. Just this week, Reuters was forced to admit that their article earlier this year, which alleged that Iran was training an army of female ninja-assassins, was completely fabricated, and that the photographs included with it were taken at a regular gym, of women exercising in niqabs.

Every year, several organisations (I am aware of one European and one American group) compile lists and statistics about terrorism. Since the end of the cold war, there has not been a single year in which the amount of terrorist attacks AND VICTIMS by ultra-nationalists has not been at least *double* that of religious terrorism.

The European/American obsession with Islamism is nothing short of mass hysteria.

Yup. But we should be smart enough to know when to do the right thing and not exasperate the problem. We're not much better than they are if we can't figure this out.
