I got to thinking. I wonder if the protesters realize
that they are being manipulated by rightwing interests
and that a really stupid hateful film by some idiot or other

Everyone I know, bar none, has no animosity towards Muslims
or Islam, though we are alarmed and worried about religious
extremism of any kind anywhere.
