I think they just have a clearer sense of the need to defend their culture (or maybe it's just an overweening cultural superiority) than the British or Americans do at this time. But with a 10% Muslim population, they've also got a much harder task ahead.

They've been showing backbone on this for awhile. It's just that alot of people who are surprised at this are uninformed and haven't been paying attention.
