The movie insults Islam, which, in and of itself, I have no issue with.
The problem is the movie went a lot further into white night territory with a lot more than that, including xenophobic and racist claims about arabic people in general.
The responses have been from a group we already knew to be incredibly violent. "Egypt" didn't respond so much as the group we already knew to be violent responded.
Obama's response about America not being a nation that "denigrates" religion was a bit too mealy mouthed for my tastes.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
