Of course, the muslim rulers & mullahs are going apeshit about Qu'ran burnings. They fear for their power. These people want to take us on the collar, because we are free. Because our freedom is a glowing example for the oppressed people in Islamic countries. It is no coincidence that America enjoys high regard & respect from many Iranian opposition figures. The Americans have things the mullahs regimes never can & will offer: freedom, democracy, prosperity and lots of liberal television series. All this can not please the mullahs.
Islam lives by the fact that he has kindly apply to all over the world. Wherever you do not respect him, he loses his power over men. And the mullahs fear this like the devil fears the holywater.

Of course its no coincidence, it's a basic power play. America and the Iranian Reformists have the same vested interest against Ahmadinejad and the Conservatives.
In the 90's, America was viewed favorably by some radical Islamists: we helped them shoot the Soviets, and we saved the Bosnian Muslims from the Serbs. Its all a matter of perception.
