Look man, we're just trying to point out something that perhaps you're unaware of.

It really has less to do with religion or ethnicity or anything else, and more to do with politics and power. Its about pandering to your constituency and their emotions, because the vast majority of sales in this world are made based on emotion.

Cars, houses, clothes, cosmetics, and .... votes.

Yes, there are many leaders in the Muslim world who use such cheap tactics in order to gain popularity. Ahmadinejad talks sh*t all the time about whupping America's @$$ if she ever decided to pay a visit. The leaders of Palestinian groups do it all the time, against Israel. Syria does it. Iraq used to do it. Pakistani politicians do it.

Its very common.
