I just read a post on LiveJournal (I can link it if you want) by a
gentleman who spent some years in the Middle East. He said that a
Muslim traditionalist will say that other religions can take criticism
because that religion is false. Islam is the truth so in their eyes any
criticism must be fought. If they do not fight against criticism of
their religion, it is offensive to their God.
