Yes, I've read in the press as well that the more civilized Muslims are finally striking back.

- Iran supports Hamas
- Iran supports El Kaida
- The protests are to a huge degree directed by El Kaida, Hamas, or both (and similar groups).

Results (this is what I deduced from this) :

- El Kaida holds still meanwhile Syria is bombing, because, since they are supported by Iran, and Iran supports Syria, this would mean biting the hand (Iran) that feeds them (El Kaida).

- El Kaida meanwhile sees the video as a great opportunity to launch a bloody "marketing campaign" in their favour : Their goal is to make the Muslims believe that El Kaida is actually Anti-USA, meanwhile they also try to make Muslims believe that USA = Anti-Islam.

Similar things could be true for Hamas as well.
