If angry men have gathered outside, then don't blame their religion, they are angry, they are obviously mistranslating the situation and probably don't have access to any decent media there, so no doubt they are getting chinese whispers...

Time to stop apologizing for these muslim's actions and start condemning them for what they are - barbaric.

The problem here, as usual, is not any one religion.
It is theocracy. Any government that is ruled by a set of religious ideals will appear barbaric to outsiders.
If the US were truly managed under a Christian theocracy, all the gays would be dead, all the women would be voiceless and pregnant, and to question the holy leaders would get your head bashed in with a rock.
The specific religion in question has nothing to do with this. It is the reliance on theology to run a country that must be condemned.
