I understand your point, and I do agree with it. I don't think one Islamic country should have to apologize for another; but I do feel that if this is not the stance of all Muslims (which I don't believe it is), then Muslim leaders (not necessarily by country, but clerics) should be making a bigger noise about condemning the violence and making it clear that it is not approved of. I also think there is often a knee-jerk reaction from many people to brush off these extreme reactions and make excuses for it. The fact that Denmark and other European countries have asked their citizens to leave many Islamic countries for fear of their safety is insane and horrifying.

The editor of the Jordanian paper who condemned the violence has been fired and jailed.
