Koran desecration feedback

Here's the latest on the Koran desecration story.

Muslims in several countries demonstrated Friday in resurgent anti-American anger over reported desecration of the Islamic holy book, the Koran, and some protesters called on their leaders to demand an apology from the United States.

The ironic thing is that US government's condemnation of Newsweek led to more coverage of Koran desecration in the US and international media. Then the FBI reports came out, triggering the latest round of protests.

The White House blamed Newsweek for inflaming Muslim opinion, but the blaming indirectly inflamed Muslim opinion even more.
