This would be an inappropriately strong response, and certainly you could be upset about it, but the proper response wouldn’t be to go kicking random Muslims in the face. They didn’t do it, and they probably don’t even approve. But drawing pictures of Mohammed offends many Muslims, not just the ones who send death threats.
This is a very Eurocentric way of thinking (not saying its appropriate or inappropriate according to my values). I hope that after some careful thought it will be obvious to most LWers why this is so. Virtual cookie to the first one that gets it right.
In Fued based cultures attacking arbitrary members of an out-group in response to violence by a member of said out-group against one of yours is indeed an appropriate response.
(This is why I’m glad I don’t live in a feud based culture.)
