No, those threats were credible - and clearly must be reacted to in the right manner. But this protest is reacting to the wider majority of empty threats. The rest of your post is just worrying. You may not understand why offense is taken at a picture, I agree and to me it seems silly. But that doesn't give us the right to essentially say "shush, you're being silly. Let us get on with our protest please". It's a bit patronizing :-) think of it this way: all Muslims are discluded from this protest. How is that unity? (also, this ain't freedom of artistic expression. It's a deliberate attempt to get at the terrorists with imaea they don't like... That's a negative image in my mind :-))
