Hee. This made me smile. :) (I'm Mormon myself. I haven't seen the show yet, but I really want to!) Though re. the discussion below, I think also part of the difference is that the Mormon Church is a relatively monolithic thing, it can give a single response to all issues which may not necessarily reflect the first instincts of all the members. I'm sure many individual Mormons are uncomfortable with this, but once "The Church" has come out with a stance, most of the members fall in line with it. (Though I differ from "The Church's" stance on a few things myself!) But anyhow, Islam isn't one thing, any more than Christianity is one thing, and individual members and smaller groups within it will react in a wide variety of ways. Don't forget that *most* Muslims haven't rioted or committed any acts of violence or hatred at all, it's just been a very few. And there are more Muslims than Mormons out there. Maybe if there were a billion or so Mormons, a few of them might have rioted over this.
