I don't mean to imply for a moment that any of you are radical muslims, or that you can speak for them. With that in mind, I ask a question:
Why is it that we never see any muslims protest, kill people, burn down buildings, etc...because someone makes a film that makes fun of Jesus? Your religion considers Jesus to be a prophet, right? If I'm not mistaken you consider him a greater prophet than Muhammed, right?

We do. but the non-Muslims seem to ignore we do so. We never get any media attention when we protest against violence. However if you know were to look or visit a Mosque you will find it.
A few examples of things that seldom get noticed by the Media

Woodrow, not sure you understood the question. Thank you for the response though--it is heartening to see Muslims standing up in protest against the radical ones.
My question was to ask why we never see radical muslims protesting the numerous films that are published every single year making fun of Jesus--whom Islam considers to be a prophet as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you consider Jesus to be greater than Muhammed?

Actually we consider all of the Prophets to be equal. We do not see the Jesus of the Bible as being Jesus(as)in Arabic Isa(a.s.)
We see the NT as presenting a corrupted image of Isa(as) and made a fabricated Man-god out of one of the most loved of Prophets. To support the Jesus of the bible would be supporting a false god and be the sin of shirk.

Again. Thank you for the response. But you really haven't answered my question:

My apologies.
I'll try to Clarify. Nearly all of the anti-Jesus(a.s.) are against Jesus(a.s.) as being the Son of God, some Muslims would fear that to protest such may be indicative of giving the appearance that they were supporting the Idea Jesus(a.s.) is the Son of God, which would be tantamount to Idolatry (The sin of shirk) the only unpardonable sin to a Muslim.
Just my opinion but that is why I believe many Muslims would not protest an anti-Jesus(a.s.) event or media portrayal.

So you ignore the fact that your prophet's name is blasphemed because of a perceived greater heresy?
