What is the deal with this Muslim video that has everyone in an uproar?

[Kantor]

A few things.

• A lot of the protests seem to attribute this to the American government because those countries don't really have non-state-run media.
• The countries are poorer so people have naturally turned to more extreme forms of religion.
• Islam hasn't had as long to calm down as Christianity has.
• There's a lot of gain to be had by some people by inciting religious hatred. See: al-Qaeda.
• I almost want that video to be taken down to spare people the agony of watching it. Dear god, is that thing terrible.
