The logic behind this sort of apologism is, "what were they thinking annoying the muslims! they'll fucking kill us all!!"
It's bigotry masquerading as compassion and it's extremely annoying that in some circles this is seen as the liberal position. Can you imagine a single person defending a Christian or a member of any other religion if they killed someone for offending their particular deity?

“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
