the ideology causes the reaction, the "getting worked up". Ever see what religion can do to people who a few years earlier were depressed, etc. It gives them a 'reason to live." an identity, a group to join. They are motivated because of the ideology.

and ideologies are not the same (a variant strain of the multiculturalism mentality). Some ideologies (cultures/subcultures/traditions/beliefs - and other group activities) have different characteristics...in case you missed it.

today we have a subset of the muslim religion/culture that is very violent, with a tendency to riot "upon command". How long they will continue with this we dont know. It took the Christians a few hundred years to get it out of their system, and i do believe we can call the crusaders christians (something about killing in the name of jesus was a "give away".) And since i'm a believer in a single standard, i believe the muslims get the same label-we got people screaming for their version of god and killing on his behalf. (when you riot for allah, your clearly doing it for the religion..when the imans declare rioting "bad", and only they can make that declaration, will their reason for rioting become more mundane....)

as far as if we have something in the US that is similar....the closest we have is the riots by the far left during the G8 summit in seattle. The G8 group were warned about the riots to be, came anyway and got a violent protest, based on their ideology. ....its about as close as we have to the "muslim riots"

who knows maybe my next words will cause a riot in israel, the US or in Libya....and clearly we all know which group might actually riot:

moses was an egostical maniac- and the hassidim are all clowns
jesus was really gay
allah, the gods a joke, and he needs a haircut

i leave you with my favorite cartoon and really hope it doesnt see the light in some other country: I wouldnt want to see those jews in israel getting all worked up rioting because i made fun of moses
