Boycott Egypt
An Egyptian blogger called "Sandmonkey" notes that the offensive cartoons about which Muslims all over the world are rioting were actually printed a few years ago - in Egypt. (hat tip: dry bones)

James Taranto points to an article in the New York Times that says that Arab/Muslim leaders incited their people because the leaders saw it as "...an opportunity to undercut the appeal of the West to Arab citizens."
