No, but it's what actually happens, and it's being exploited for all it's worth.
Some yutz puts a vid on Youtube and upsets some muslims. A diplomat is killed. Suddenly the US of A feel justified in sending another fleet of drones to the respective area to hunt down the aggressors. How many times must this scenario be repeated before ppl start to see the picture?

4 diplomats wasn't it? Gotta agree with you though. The people protesting are bloody morons. The people violently rioting are something familiar to anyone here who has seen one's home team lose a football game. Don't get me wrong; they're absolute scum. Anybody violently rioting is, whether it is over a football game or a sky fairy.
But it doesn't require any sort of foreign policy response besides withdrawing diplomats (for safety) or tightening security. Idiots have short memories. Like the cartoons that Dutch guy drew, this will die down soon enough and the thugs will go back to whatever other form of thuggery comes more naturally to them then rioting (which, let's be honest, is a fair few things - muggings, rape, homicide, theft... the kind of stuff which thugs do with or without a tired religious excuse).
If international football championships were like world religions, and less than half a dozen teams were followed by the world's countries... then you'd probably see **** like these Islamic riots happens every now and then, too, on exactly the same scale. That's just what happens when lots of people believe zealously in the same stupid thing.
