Its just difficult for Americans to digest seeing muslims outraged over a cartoon, but silent on the violence in the name of their faith.

I think many muslims just want the fundies to go away, like many Christians. The most recent uncovered plots have been due to Canadian/English/etc Muslims who turned the plotters in. That to me says more than marching in the street ever could (I'm not a protest fan, no matter what its for)
