I can understand Muslims being upset at the cartoons and unflattering depictions of Mohammad. However, I can't accept it as justificaqtion for mass murder.

As to how the U.S. would react in a similar situation, Jesus was depicted in an even more insulting manner. The Maplethorpe exhibit displayed the cross immersed in all forms of bodily fluid and Jesus portrayed in various homosexual and heterosexual poses? It was not only tolerated as freedom of speech, it was funded by our tax dollar. Christians protested, but to my knowledge no one was murdered.
