These people are not stupid. They are a product of their environment just as you are.

Most of the protests have been lead by clerics and sometimes with government backing.

What they want is for people to not insult their religion. It is not as though they actually know or care about the insults or what they are asking other governments to do, in denying rights and liberties to their people.

Some of the protests have turned violent. It is not like this has never happened anywhere else. Mobs can do that and it is in the interests of some groups to make them violent.

Spurious name calling and charges of inbreeding is just deflection from what is going on.
