Thundering against the incendiary anti-Muslim film trailer that recently appeared on the internet, he warned his brothers to prepare for battle, urging them to take up weapons against incoming "Crusader armies". Soon after, youths resumed a rock-throwing assault on police protecting the nearby American embassy. As with past incidents of what many Muslims see as Western attacks against their beliefs, similar scenes unfolded across the Muslim w orld, producing tragic results. The anger displayed at all these events was certainly real, and widely shared among Muslims. Yet the television coverage of protests obscured an obvious fact. As in many other protests across the region, the crowd at the fiery Friday sermon in Cairo numbered in the mere hundreds, in a space where throngs a thousand times bigger have become commonplace. In the midst of a city of perhaps 20m inhabitants, the rest went about their business as usual. The news focus on violence and on the shrillest voices of protest shifted attention from other important responses to the offending film.
