Wolfgang, at the present time there is not a lot of understanding of the Islamic world in my country at any level both in and out of government.
The idea of inter-country loyalty based on religion is a foreign concept in the West and in the USA in particular. We can't seem to understand that, in the Muslim countries, an action which is percieved by them as an insult to Islam, will turn the whole Muslim world against us.
And what they feel is an insult might not even be noticed by us. We need to tread very softly.
