Anyone that thinks all this blood shed is because of a movie, clearly don't have a clue about the issues in these areas. The movie, as I mentioned previously in this thread, had very little to do with the out bursts recently seen. These were well rehearsed attacks and continue to be so. These orchestrated events where not the result of a mob, but the same bunch of boneheads that would prefer all of the Muslim nations live with a 10th century life style. Frankly it's they own fault. They elect these boneheads hoping they'll change, bring about change and save the people from the preponderance of self determination. They know darn right well what these boneheads stand for, what they've previously done, yet they still buy into their sales pitch and then ***** and moan, when they act just like everyone knew they would, if permitted to be in charge of a government.
The main 22 countries and the remaining couple of dozen Muslim nations are predominately Islamic republics, which by their very nature are destined to fail. Theocratic forms of government always do, as does secular nationalism, which are the structure of most Muslim governments. Couple the religious restraints with the often totalitarian monarchies or dictatorships, often employed and it's pretty easy to understand why they're fed up with authority of any kind.
Socially, these nations are a few hundred years behind the west in an evolutionary view. The worst of them treat women like cattle and children as personal sex toys. The more progressive still sell their daughters, but do so discretely, rather then in the market square. They will eventually have no choice but to surrender shura as the root of their legal systems and focus on individual and personal freedoms. If not, they will forever be burdened with the restraint of divinely guided leaders. Without a separation from the supernatural derived leadership, they will wallow in hope of rescue from above, rather than stand up and rely on themselves.
It's these very concepts that have caused the west to advance so rapidly economically, technologically and socially in the last 200 years. Previous to western societies tossing off their religious restraints, personal acts where guided by God's desires for you or at least what you or your religious leader said these might be. Once we looked out for own on interests, everything opened up and the imposable or possably the formerly imposable because of restraints, became possible. Slavery is acceptable in that 1,800 year old book everyone seems so excited about, but we threw down this restraint and ditto for most of the rest too, now believing in ourselves. We don't stone our neighbor for growing two different crops in adjacent fields, though this is perfectly acceptable behavior, if you live by that damn book. Hell, it even thinks selling your daughter is a good idea or better yet, having your wife beheaded for wearing a dress woven from two different types of thread. Yep, let your life be lead by a divine book, written thousands of years ago by un-divine men, there's a good idea for social advancement . . .
