Muslim Outrage Part of Intimidation Campaign

There is overwhelming and disturbing proof that a deep culture of violence, a culture of death, pervades much of the Muslim world.  But the most revealing aspect of the Islamic world's violent reactions to perceived slights against their faith is that what enrages many of those who react violently is not the suggestion that Islam is violent, but rather the implied criticism of that violence. The West must recognize these violent outbursts for what they are: calculated acts of outrage meant not to refute but to intimidate non-Muslims into not speaking up at all.
