#1 Substantial ransoms were paid to the Egyptian treasury, as kaffirs are traditionally required to do. Why then such a fuss?

Because the ragers didn't get their part.

#3 Highly political charges, looking at the group there is a chance they were meddling and got too obvious about it.

Interesting to see whether this gives the anti-us groups more ammo for political gain. With the mark of one year of dismal public diplomatic failure* from Tripoli to Kabul, I would not be surprised.

*Obviously I cannot speak for the private stuff which happens, and it is that public and private diplomatic moments are not always the same, yet for some reason the public opinion usually trumps the private especially when gov buildings get stormed.

Muslims are one big anti-US group. They might like our stuff, but they definitely hate our guts.

#5 You know, it'd be funny if every time they do one of these rage riots, people here rioted and burned down their mosques.

Just speculating.
