Saudi Arabia, which is ruled by an extremely racist and xenophobic version 
of Islam that they've been exporting across the world vs. Iran who's just 
been funding terrorists and allegedly building nukes. Oh, wait. Saudi Arabia 
funds terrorist also. Yes, lets make sure we note the differences.

You miss my point. No one cares about what's happening in the Muslim world 
beyond apologizing to them for some cartoons. No one cares that any religion 
in a Muslim nation is automatically a suppressed minority when they're 
allowed to exist at all (Saudi Arabia officially has no members of any 
religion other than Islam and practicing any other religion is a crime). No 
one cares that militant, racist and xenophobic versions of Islam is being 
exported across the world by oil rich Muslims. No one cares that the 
American prison system has been turned into a breeding ground for militant 
Islam though these same teachings. No one cares that Muslim immigrants 
across Europe are refusing to integrate into the society that is now 
supporting them. No one cares that there IS a culture war going on and we 
will lose it. People only care about apologizing now, not hurting feelings 
and hoping that the problem will either go away or be a problem for a future 
generation.

That's what I mean by no one cares because no one does.
