All over the world, the principle is being reinforced: terrorism works. To get what you want, threaten violence, and the “free world” will jump to comply with your wishes.

Muslim clerics: Those who insult Muhammad have “no right to live”
These clerics represent the vast majority of international opinion today. Most of the mainstream media agrees with them, as do most Christian clerics in the West — although those two groups would couch their refraining from doing anything to insult Muhammad as “respect” and avoiding “gratuitous provocation.” They are sowing a future of slavery and […]

Pakistan: Muslim demand church give up its land or face blasphemy charge
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are the occasion of ongoing human rights abuses against Christians and others, but no one is particularly concerned.

Pakistan Muslim scholars: Jihad groups have “nothing to do with Islam”
This is the same Pakistan Ulema Council that has endorsed jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings, so its understanding of what constitutes “extremes” and “excesses” might not be identical to that of your average Western non-Muslim analyst.

Pakistan: Muslims set Christian colony ablaze over new blasphemy charges
Those who are saying that non-Muslims should never intentionally provoke Muslims don’t realize that Islamic supremacists in places like Pakistan, where they have the upper hand, seize on even the most innocuous actions as provocations, and commit violence accordingly.
