yes I know it's only radicals

Only radicals. Thousands of them, in one city, and they were the ones who bothered to show up. How many radicals do you need before the baseline is reset and they become the moderates? Maybe the truth is we would like to believe they are radicals because it's easier not to face up to a problem on this kind of a scale.

Indeed, though it should be borne in mind that what the Sudanese people are being told about the incident may be something completely different to what we are being told about it.

It just takes a few radical clerics claiming the teddy bear was named Mohammed because it is 'a child's thing' to lead it on to her saying that Islam is for 'Children'. You just need an ignorant enough audience to float that boat, and create an International incident to make yourself look far more important than you actually are.
