No what I am saying is that they do know already. IF they know what is good for them, they will ignore it. But they cannot.
They must show that they are good muslims and fight vehemently to protect its honour. Not because it matters to most, not even the muslims I believe, but because it is prestigious to be the upholder of propiety. So everyone tries to be the first to condemn these things with firebrand rhetorics.
So you see, if they were able to for once to just shrug and move on, I think the west would have won a small victory. Of course they won't, because that would be to admit defeat.
