I'd be more concerned with the leaders of western nations denouncing the actions and voices of the extremists on the nation (i.e. moveon.org, Pat Robertson, etc.) than the people of western nations protesting the leadership.
I've never noticed a shortage of criticism of the western nation's leadership, be it the war in Iraq (which there were massive protests against) or against abortion. Even when there is, it's rare to have militants shouting for the beheading of the president, the senate, or all of those who stand for a certain way of life.
