It all depends on how the clerics spun it. They are very good at finding something to get people fired up, and can generally do so within the context of ther own religious teaching. Though it does make one wonder how many citizens of many of these countries can read the Koran, and challenge anything the clerics might have wrong. It should be fairly high, but then again it might not be. Literacy rates increased thanks in part to the printing press and the Protestants gained group because of that invention (making them able to put the Bible into the hands of the people rather than only being read to them by the Catholic Church). One assumes something like that happened in the Muslim World with the Koran...but I can't be sure.

Come to think of it, the Muslims must understand that the Americans have been burning their own idols too. Otherwise how are the metal crosses and sculptures of Jesus on top of the churches made?
They just took their pyromania too far - see the American arms industry for details.
