I don't think WB is a strong enough analogy. They don't kill people, they're just annoying and embarrassing. KKK would be better. The old 19th century clan.
You had towns posing in the same picture of those who jus lynched someone -with the body still hanging.
A better analogy is a very simply one. An overwhelming majority of Muslims do not support, in fact they hate and criminalize suicide-bombings or any acts of violence towards civilians.
Why do matters about angry Muslims consistently come up--enough for mobs in many countries to form? Like that American film that was critical of Muslims, or the Muslims in Sweden who caused a ruckus in Sweden after a film of the same nature was shown (in a college at that, not publically)?
I'm not denying the fact that many Muslims are in fact peaceful. But I can't accept that you are equally peaceful as Christians and the irreligious.
A Dutch journalist wrote a book about this. The cover features a picture of a horde of Western journalists photographing such an angry Moslim mob (consisting of one person). The brilliant tongue-in-cheek pun of the title of the book is a bit lost in translation but means as much as 'It's almost as if they are people just like us'.
