I agree with most of what you said above. Regarding your last paragraph, however... once again, Muslims value God and the Prophet more than their friends, relatives, families and lives. Mock Muslims as much as you want, it's been going on for quite a few years now, but when you directly mock the Prophet and consequently God (no, the Prophet isn't God, but His messenger, so an insult to Him is an insult to God), shit hits the fan. Or at least, it's easier to rally up Muslims against you.
I'm curious if this is supposed to legitamize the actions many of them take?

I can't kill someone "because they insulted God". If I tried that I would be just as guilty as if I were a Muslim and killed somebody because "They insulted Mohammed". Fanatical devotion to a religion does NOT a get out of jail free card make.
