Observations on Muslim protests over caricatures

Remember any of the comments and critiques from the European media about American mistreatment and insensitivity toward Muslims or Arabic enemy combatants? The most memorable Muslim protest over American insensitivity was a protest in Afghanistan over rumours of a Koran having been flushed down the latrine. The rumour has since been denied as untruth by Newsweek where the rumour was first published. Turning the table, it appears European newspapers are more insensitive. One can argue that Muslim protests across the world are incited by imams and opinion leaders. Then, I can argue that European caricatures of Muhammed generated more protests than any American actions.
