Shi'ites Blown Up in Pakistan, but Shi'ites in Lebanon Protest Cartoons

From the BBC:
Hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslims in Lebanon have turned a religious ceremony into a protest over cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

The leader of the Hezbollah militant group told the crowd demonstrations must continue until Europe passed laws banning insults to Muhammad.
You can't argue that the attack in Pakistan wasn't an affront to Shi'ite religious sensilities--they were attacked during a religous procession. It is getting hard not to conclude that what really bothers them is disrespect from untermenschen.
