Looks like yesterday at least eight protesters died in four nations attending violent YouTube protests.

What a great idea if the West closed all her consulates and embassies in certain parts of the world and private citizens churned out "offensive" weekly YouTube videos to get these fanatics to kill each other off over a video.

In Cairo, where the protests had first started, Muslim worshippers gathered after noon prayers and chanted slogans in support of the prophet and against the United States.

Some of Friday's biggest protests took place in Bangladesh, where an estimated 10,000 people marched after prayers from the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in central Dhaka toward the U.S. embassy, police said.

It's eye-opening that so much violence erupts in the Muslim world after Friday prayers or other religious events.

I'm reminded of the Ramadan bump that occurs every year where terrorist attacks spike.

I guess there's a correlation between a deeper commitment to Islam and violence.

Imagine that?
