That kind of makes my point...
I agree they are being manipulated and agitated by those that wish to inflame hatred and war. If they can be so moved to violence so easily over an issue such as cartoon caricatures, how do they ever hope to have any lasting peace? There is always going to be groups that will desire continued bloodshed. All these groups seem to need is any spark of controversy to ignite discontent. Free and peaceful societies are pretty much constantly drenched in controversial material.
Those that are rioting need to realize that there is a way of dealing things without picking up a gun/torch and taking their anger out on the nearest person that disagrees with you.
I'm afraid you missed my point

What I was trying to say was that to them (the masses), it's exactly
not just this caricature. It's a whole series of what they consider attacks on them, a series of hostile actions. To them, this is just the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Being good means getting better.
