This is just one part of the conditioning and indoctrination of the non-muslim population of the world. Another example is the Newsweek "qur'an in the toilet" article and subsequent rioting. All over the world the muslims are asserting their "rights". In their mind they have the "right" to rule the world. We are being trained to acknowledge the "sanctity" of the qur'an and islam, and accept the "plight" of the "poor muslims" who are "persecuted' and whose only recourse is to rise up in a "holy war" and slay the infidels. Keep in mind there are 1.2 billion of them and growing, so the likelihood of this going away is slim. The most likely outcome, if current western trends continue, is unending concessions until we find ourselves facing a controlling muslim majority; unless, of course, we elect some people with the guts to stop it.
