There is a difference between contradiction and distinction. I made a distinction.
Once you presume attack and hatred on the motive of the opponent, it become easy to respond in like. It is certain that in some such cases, that such acts are designed to be provocations to expose your reactions, and that in many cases the provoker is very sorry about the reactions provoked. But you have a choice in your interpretation and reactions, and these say far more about you and your religion than what a random foreign provoker says.
The demonstration and expression of liberty actually fails miserably in such cases, due to the provoked Muslim violence, which is exactly why such demonstrations will continue to arise, until that reaction is nulled, and nothing is thereby demonstrated other than tolerance and wisdom on the side of the provoked.
I also gave an example from your religion, where a Qur'an and other books were symbolically damaged as a demonstration. Was the teacher of Rumi filled with hatred and intolerance of Muslims when he threw Rumi's books into a well?
Islam will be far better when you can burn its books or draw a cartoon without fearing for your own life. But for now, this is a tragic reality -- that no opposition or disagreement with it is tolerated in the least, and this is all that is demonstrated in such events.
