Pakistani Capital Sealed Against Protests

The comcast article in question, by an AP writer is linked above
Help me make sense of this.

"Elsewhere in the Muslim world, demonstrators with wooden staves and stones tried unsuccessfully to storm the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia, while tens of thousands rallied in the Turkish city of Istanbul and complained about negative Western perceptions of Islam."

"Ethem Erkovan, a 47-year-old participant, who held a banner in one hand and his daughter in the other, accused Western nations of maligning Islam. ((Maligning Islam??!!))"They are the ones who are trying to depict the expanding Islamic community as terrorists, though all we want is peace," he said."

So......as they are busy attacking, burning, beating to DEATH and destroying, all over a cartoon of their prophet, we are at fault for their negative image? Huh? We have a negative image of them and we are the ones trying to depict them as terrorists. I think they are doing a great job of that themselves, yes?

"In Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, police said 15,000 coalition supporters, most wearing white shrouds of mourning splashed with red paint to symbolize their willingness to die defending the prophet's honor, rallied peacefully."

At least they weren't killing anyone to defend his honor. I think perhaps the muslim world would do much better defending the honor of their prophet by behaving honorably. Their behavior (in his name) is a much larger affront to the prophet's good name than any cartoon.
