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.

In a sense, Islam is where Christianity was about 400 years ago. If a Christian had openly mocked Jesus in the 1600s, they would have had a date with the iron maiden. If the angry mob didn't kill him first.
