Do you think this is true or just more reporting to get feelings running high?

There was actual footage of them marching and begging for her to be killed yesterday, so I assume that this is true also. My heart goes out to the poor woman, it really does.

This is true, but it is not a spontaneous reaction of outrage on the part of a piously violent population.
This isn't the first time that riots have been orchestrated by extremists to stir up trouble. You may remember the case of the Danish cartoons depicting Mohammed, which were greeted with riots all over the place. It's even the same issue: Muslim prohibition against any kind of image of Mohammed. But these actions are being orchestrated, sometimes by international Muslim extremists, with local cooperation of course.
To me, this is the outright exploitation of religion by a few people without conscience. Imagine a religious leader that encourages people to act on their most vicious and basest instincts, in the name of Religion. Religion is supposed to elevate the human spirit, not bring it down into a cesspool.
I know this isn't true Islam.
Of course, the media thrive on sensationalism and excitement. Consciously or not, they encourage this kind of thing.

She will be on her way home on Monday, mark my words.
And doing the rounds of the daytime sofas, storm in a tea cup.

It keeps the media industry going. How many people in the world are on short sentences and they never get mentioned!

She'll be home early next week. The Sudanese government is finding the matter embarrassing.

No, it is true and it just goes to prove how demented and devoid of common sence these people really are.
