   I’ve often wondered why the members of certain religious groups think that their deity/prophet/savior is such a wimp that he needs them to defend his honor.
   
   I mean, he provides ‘Acts of God’ for every OTHER minor infraction, often with considerable collateral damage. Why does he need THEM to plot revenge over a simple insult?

   Why has nobody pointed out that this video was nearly unknown in the Middle East until Egyptian TV reported on it? Is there any non-governmental TV in Egypt?

   As far as I can tell, the Arabic translation just appeared the day before the riots. My guess is that whoever did that was the one who alerted authorities in Egypt…
   It’s not the first time that ‘spontaneous outrage’ appears to have been contrived.

   Whoever made the video wanted arson, assassinations, riots.

   Same as saying he wanted Muslims to do their dependable thing of stealing, killing and destroying. What a people. If they really believed in their version of God, Allah wouldn’t need their help. This is what happens when a religion is so tainted with politics and struggles for power.

    please remember that this is a small minority of Muslims causing the problems with a greater number that are embarrassed by their actions. plus, if there weren’t foreign troops, drone attacks, and lets say a high level of foreign involvement in their domestic activities, I suspect there would be less anger to tap into. This is not meant as an excuse – I find the behavior disgusting and pathetic – but I believe it has more to do than a simple offensive cartoon or movie (maybe for some, there are always a-holes in every group).

    Aren’t all organized religions just versions of the God-Man fan club?

    Most of them, I believe so. There are even some sects of Buddhism in which people worship and pray to Buddha as though he was a god. That’s not what he taught at all!

    Nebulous… it might be because if anyone actually ‘looked’ into their messiah, they’d see he was a despicable excuse for a human… pedophilia isn’t really cool, when it comes to messiahs…
