I recall reading an article that outlined four different major streams of islam, ranging from adaptive to separatist fanatics. What we're seeing is just another manifestation of same ol' same ol' people being yanked around on a string en masse. On a slightly tangential note, we've already seen various manifestations of racial outbursts in Australia (that made international news, apparently) which I think is reflective of a broader problem of this thing called tolerance. Rather, the discrepancy between the ideal and the practice. What exactly does being tolerant entail and how does one deal with the inevitable tensions in clashes of ideology? How this is being treated now is indicative of (to me) a general sense that people as a whole are not mature enough or capable of processing the intricacies thrown up from such ideology. However, the whole blaming muslims for every little thing...I'm not sure whether this will be a reality of the majority- if it does happen then I think it will be a time when people are really desperate for a scapegoat.
