This is doubly so in Europe and perhaps triply so at the Vatican. (Via IP) Such violence is the product of professional thugs who exploit the lack of civil order in their societies, and seek any pretext upon which to wage chaos. Their efforts are barbaric, and they are transient, and they are ultimately futile. I'm not sure that I agree with the "futile" part, and I'm of two minds about the piece's larger focus on quite that level of practical deference to radicals, but still. It strikes me that the outbursts of rage on the Muslim "street" don't have much to do with offended sensibilities per se. Rather, somebody recognized a perfect opportunity to play some more on the West's perpetual self-doubt by whipping up the mob.
