Why do you think these people are currently in an uproar over a handful of editorial cartoons?

Paris didn't erupt into riots because a couple of teenagers died during a police chase just as the Los Angeles riots weren't about a man being beaten by police officers. The events that touched off these waves of violence are nothing but breaking points and so I say there is a lot more to this than some foolish drawings. Social standing, economics, quality of life, and pressure from political forces are behind this. Want to piss them off even more, drive them to more suicide bombers? Try doing exactly what has enraged these people for many decades: starve them economically and restrict their trade.

Just my guess.
