As to the Arabic newspapers, some said some pretty vile things. Others showed great sympathy and regret. (Kinda sounds like the Times vs. the Globe in the U.S. to me.) So, what is the point of printing the hatred? To create more hatred between Americans and Muslims? Seems like there's more than enough of that already.

Sorry, I don't get your point and I think I'm glad I don't.
I agree with Redwitch. No reason to fan the flames as they are already burning too brightly because of that offensive movie The Innocence
of Muslims
and mass hysteria surrounding it. Fanned by unprincipled bloggers and journalists.
