What question are you trying to ask? "to what" isn't relevant. You really can't do it, can you? You can't put yourself in the other person's shoes and understand how it might look from their perspective.

Well, as an American, the only way I can concieve my country's 'regime being changed' by a Muslim nation [say, Saudi Arabi, Syria or Iran] entails some unsavory consequences. It may be convenient for you to pretend there wouldn't be any for the sake of your argument, but I don't feel obligated to ignore them.

The point is that people who feel powerless lash out in irrational ways. That doesn't make it right, but refusing to recognize that, refusing to understand that provoking desperate people will only make things worse, is idiotic.

Are they desperate or pathologically hyper-sensitive? I agree that Jones is an idiot. I'll even accept that he purposely provoked the Muslims in question.

But if you think appeasing them will cure their pathology you would make a poor psychologist.
