MUSLIM OUTRAGE AGAINST CHRISTIANS. WHY?

Help me understand why the Muslim community throughout the world is pursuing an angry and violent out pouring against the Pope, in particular, and Christianity, in general? Their outrageous display remind me of a three year old child who throws a tantrum in the super market because his mother wouldn't buy him a candy bar. Why is it that after the Pope said he regretted his remarks and that they were not representative of his view of Islam, they still persist in accusing him of what they have determined to be a heinous crime? It is as though their outrage is a paper tiger to substantiate their goal of creating a Muslim world. I hope not and I would hope that some Muslim who reads this would take the time to explain their position.

As an American who believes all religions should be respected and their freedom protected, I want to understand why followers of Islam think differently.
