Unfortunately most Muslims do not understand the concept of secular government or separation of "church" and "state". When they see a Koran burning in America, they think this is government sanctioned because nobody tells them otherwise and therefore it is assumed much like you assume your neighbor has running water because that is the norm. Also, the Europeans brought this on themselves by encouraging N.African and Arab Muslims to move there with the intent of making them a welfare class just as those in power in America have deliberately made the black and more recently hispanic community into a welfare class here. We must learn from this and not force LEGAL immigrants from other countries whether they be of different religious or ethnic backgrounds because the result is always extremism and divisiveness. Most people don't discuss the rampant racism and SEGREGATION that occurs in liberal Europe that is giving voices to those with extremist messages. There are 2 lessons here: First, we must be extremely careful about who we let in here and why, and second once we let those people in we must accept the personal responsibility of making sure that those people aren't isolated only to become 2nd class citizens of society. If the people wanting to come here aren't coming to become the latter, they shouldnt be coming here at all.
