They are always looking for a fight, an angry bunch of people who need death, destruction and sadness as a reason to live. So yes - I think that their rage is uncalled for and for no reason apart from their blood lust.
Well, I do agree that it would be nice if they learned some restraint. But besides the threat of physical violence, were catholics any less outraged when Sinead O'Connor tore up a picture of the pope on SNL? How many catholics called for a Sinead boycott? Different means, yes. But both over a political statement.

Typing as I think...there's also the abortion clinic bombings, all in the name of the catholic church "god". I don't see that as any less radical than some muslims. Sadly, or thankfully, just the volume.

Neither position with violence is justifable in my opinion.
