Irony: pro-Western Islamists versus anti-Western Islamists

One has to note the irony.  Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Hizbullah supporters demonstrated against the offensive internet film.  It was noteworthy that the protest by the "anti-American" Islamist Shi`ite party did not result in one act of violence while the protests by "pro-Western" March 14 Salafites in Tripoli (Lebanon) resulted on attacks on KFC and Hardee's.  (The press indicated that the attackers ate all the fried chicken before setting the restaurant on fire--kid you not).  So the pro-US Islamists are more dangerous than the anti-US Islamists?  And the Islamists of Benghazi who attacked and killed the Americans were also part of the pro-NATO Islamists.  What does that say? Plenty.
