Profiles in Islam

What Im trying to do is point out the very selective "outrage" of the Muslim populace towards things that do not assign blame to the U.S. or the West. Another example...attacks against mosques and civilians by Muslims doesnt raise an eyebrow. But if a U.S. soldier does as much as picks up the Koran improperly, there is a huge amount of outrage.

Simple, it's the old "blacks can use the word !@#$ but whites can't" rule. It's OKAY if Muslims kill Muslims.

Actually, that's not quite true. There have been plenty of marches in Iraq protesting about terrorist attacks (despite the fact that these too are sometimes targetted. Just because something doesn't make the headlines in the US media does not mean that it's not happening.

They may be reporting them but I would guess that they wouldn't receive very prominent coverage. It's not really all that suprising that rallies expressing anger at the US receive a lot of coverage in the US. Same goes for over here - if there's an international incident involving Britain and there are demonstrations against Britain in the country in question, it's bound to make the headlines.
