Are we seeing the advent of the culture/religion as an interntional special interest group? Or has it been this way all along?
Does it make sense for one group to "officially" support non-biased equal treatment for all cultures/religions, and yet practically advocate for special, one-off treatment, and offer violence as the response to free speech?
Or, "What's good for the Muslim, isn't good for the (insert your culture/religion affiliation here)."
Doesn't this all just come down to Islam expecting/demanding to be treated differently than any other culture/religion?
Apart from Islam in the ME and Europe, are there any modern (last 50 years or so...) examples of large scale rioting and multiple killings resulting from a non-violent action that was interpreted as an offense to cultural and/or religious sensibilities?
Be interesting to know what other cultures and religions this happens with today... And if there aren't any credible examples, wouldn't that narrow it down to a conflict between a specific culture and religion with all others?
(Please don't go the obvious route and include riots that resulted from the eating of religious icons.)
