[T]housands of protesters rallying while some of their number torched the Danish consulate in Beirut. Wielding sticks and stones, the demonstrators ransacked the building on Sunday, smashing its windows.Is anyone surprised by this? It's what we've come to expect isn't it? Threats, angry mobs inciting murder, arson - all these have become standard behavior wheneven Mohammadeans feel they have been insulted, which is all the time. This become less and less shocking with each passing day. Indeed even the arson against Danish government buildings barely makes the headline news here in the US.
How is it that we have come to expect that mobs in dozens of countries will essentially act like spoiled murderous children whenever someone subjects them to the slightest ridicule? If Danes burned down the Syrian embassy, that would be news because we expect the Danes to act like reasonable adults. We expect Muslims to act like irrational thugs and many do not disappoint.
