This almost makes it seem like Muslim extremists aren't actually concerned with the tenets of their faith....
Seriously, any Muslim worth his salt should be furious at this encroachment on the kaaba. This is a threat to one of the five pillars and should be taken very seriously. Instead, we see general apathy. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that something is rotten in the core of the Islamic faith. But I think we already knew that.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
