Hehe.

A propos, one unfortunate side effect of all this is that even the most clueless high school drop-out neo-nazi now knows what get the muslims' collective goat. For instance, a Swedish extremist magazine is inviting its readers to submit their own Muhammed drawings. We can also, I'll wager, look forward to a wave of Muhammed grafitti.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper

I think it's more than 'unfortunate side effect' - more like predictable and more dangerous result.
