Someone doing something stupid is no reason for you to do something stupid.

Blaming the masses for the acts of the few is stupid.

Doing something stupid that you know will get a stupid reaction, and then complaining about the stupid reaction, is stupid. And doesn't make your stupid less stupid.

In conclusion: people are stupid.

(And why weren't there riots when Muhammed was depicted on South Park?)

Or because they didn't do a "LOOKIT US WE'RE DEPICTING HIM!!11!!!11!!" thing?

(I still rate the Norwegian magazine pretty high on the stupid list in this matter; they decided to print the pics as a "LOOKIT FREEDOM OF SPEECH" thing after the problems had started in Denmark, IIRC. They're below the Islam fundamentalists who decided to distribute even worse caricatures (which had been rejected) as examples of what the filthy scandinavians were printing, though)
