If the shoe were on the other foot, would an apology be enough?

A Muslim magazine, "Al Islam" sent two reporters undercover. These reporters then attended Mass and took communion, followed by spitting out the consecrated host and taking pictures of it with a bite out of it. The magazine has since apologized.
While I’m certainly not advocating Christians acting like Muslims, can you imagine if the shoe were on the other foot? Imagine the Vatican newspaper, "l’Osservatore Romano" sending a Catholic undercover to take part in the Hajj, knowing that only Muslims are allowed within Mecca.
What do you suppose the repercussions of such an act would be? Would it be good enough if the publisher simply said, "We’re sorry", or would there be rioting in the streets?
If the shoe were on the other foot, we wouldn’t be reading about this incident on YA. It would be a major story all over the world on all the major networks. Katie Couric would be wagging her finger and frowning about the insensitive Christians, oi vey, and there would probably be riots by Muslims and Leftists. A few "evil Christians" may have been attacked as well — like Jews were attacked in Europe while the Israel-Gaza conflict was going on.

The liberal media would be all over them. They already try to take down Christianity every chance that they can.
The muslims would honestly threaten to kill those who did it and anyone who was amused by it. They would probably even try to.

Yes, I can only imagine the uproar that would cause.

A few cartoons created death threats, I would assume that there would be rioting, and yes, more death threats.

There are civilized people in the world who are content with who they are and have no need to harass others.
Perhaps a religion of peaceful response is new to them.
War is a basic status for human kind; peace is a development out of civil society.
Hopefully, there will be additional meetings between the Pope and leaders in the Muslim faith.

THERE WOULD BE PUBLIC BEHEADINGS ON THE INTERNET
THE LIBS WOULD SAY WE DESERVED IT

There’d be rioting, and burning of embassies.

Fortunately Christians don’t have to "prove" anything to anybody and are above such immature tactics..
