You wouldn't have a riot on your hands, you would start a new war.
Granted, not all Americans would be whipped up into a violent frenzy. Don't report about those people. Just show the ones that take to the streets.
Thoughts? I welcome feedback on this one.

Agreed, whole-heartedly. Or maybe if you fly a couple of airplanes into a couple of American buildings? Would the call for retribution be large enough then?
I realize that my analogy isn't quite as good - one involves a loss of life, the other involves just the desecration of a holy article...but I think the Quran is revered thusly. Cultural differences are just that...DIFFERENCES. Oftentimes large enough that those on the other side of the divide can't or won't understand.
