What are the consequences of showing disrespect for Islam and depicting Muhammad as the bloodthirsty founder of a violent religion?

First, we are told that

Al Liby … says the cartoons, which depicted Muhammad as the bloodthirsty founder of a violent religion that preaches hatred and jihad against infidels, were "offensive" to Muslims.

Then, we are informed of the consequences of depicting "Muhammad as the bloodthirsty founder of a violent religion that preaches hatred and jihad against infidels". What are the consequences of this, you ask? Well, the soil of offending countries

must be reduced to "an ocean of blood." [And] it's now time to apply those Islamic values and burn the country to the ground.

And no, it may feel like it, but you're not watching a Monty Python sketch.

While we're at it, remember how we keep getting told how the Americans deserve any comeuppance of theirs and all tragedies headed their way, while the French and other wise, sentient members of the peace camp who profess understanding for the Arab world and Muslim sensitivities and who wield wise, humane policies? Well, it just so happens that, according to the Hal Lindsey piece, the main target of Anas al Liby is… France!

A 40-minute videotape released last week by an al-Qaida leader living in France exhorted French Muslims to rise up and punish France for what Anas al Liby calls France's disrespect for Islam.

… French soil, he declared, must be reduced to "an ocean of blood." This event will signal "the beginning of the end of Western Civilization."

Al Liby concluded that France's disrespect for Islam was another example of Western contempt for Islamic values, so it's now time to apply those Islamic values and burn the country to the ground.

Garçon, can we have some more of that dish of wise and tolerant policies?…
