I do agree though that the decision to publish these cartoons in the first place was not commendable, but when this leads to violent behaviour you have to take a firm stance against it, both the specific death threats issued and the upsurge of violence in general.

Another such militant Islamist group operating from Copenhagen, Denmark is the trans-national Hizb ut-Tahrir (Liberation Party). This is what the BBC article says about this group:
The party has expressed support of suicide bombings in Israel. It denounces Western governments and what it sees as their lackey regimes in the Middle East. And Hizb Ut Tahrir is calling on Muslims in Britain to decide whether their loyalty lies with this country or with God.
But let me emphasise that this is a small group and is by no means representing the majority of Muslims in Europe or in the World at large. As I have mentioned before this is extremist views and not the views of the majority of moderate Muslims. Bitsofnews.com Giving you the latest bits.
I only observed that the continuing focus on the militant islam within the world reflects badly on the majority of the Muslim community. And the larger group in the Netherlands feels unconformtable with that - and rightly so. There's no reason whatsoever for them to act repenting. For them, the Muslim millitants have upped the scales to prove they're honourable, hard working citizens - while many are already in an underdog position.
Personally, I have a hard time imagining how someone could think narrow enough to assume that with one bad apple the entire basket has gone wrong. People have forgotten their own (Christian) history.
But I'll try. It is the majority of Muslim communities that feels pressurised to outshine even better than before to a society that is suspicious of the faith the Muslims adhere because of increasing examples of intolerant and militant Islam interpretations. I don't think I can answer it in any other way.
