You are a kind person with a big heart and all the best impulses, but Bill Donahue should staple his mouth shut.
Even if I were to admit that anything he said had an iota of truth to it, sometimes, the timing and context of comments can be so egregiously evil as to make even objective truth entirely obscured.
That being said, there is nothing true about what the ass Donahue said.
It is a good general rule not to be gratuitously insulting. However, this rule generally only applies when one is dealing with other individuals who deserve the benefit of the doubt that they are people acting in good faith to participate civilly in a civil society.
It's kind of like the rules of war (although one hopes with a little less bomb-throwing, at least, not literally). We all reciprocate with each other on certain basic concepts, like the inviolability of prisoners of war, the role of non-combatants, the requirement for military personnel to be uniformed in order to reduce civilian casualties, etc.
Thus it is with other civilized people in the discussion of religion and other sensitive topics. I'll try not to abuse your sacred cows if you don't abuse mine.
If we were dealing with civilized people, the ass Donahue would have a point.
But as it stands, Mohametans have no right to be angry. At all. They are by and large savage barbarians, entirely lacking in civilization, and deserve not consideration for their tender sensibilities but rather death in extremely large numbers. However, instead of the mass death they so richly deserve, they receive only mild ridicule. It is ridicule entirely deserved, and no one owes these filthy creatures a damned thing, certainly not an apology.
These verminous human filth believe their god instructs them to murder non-believers, rape their women, and enslave their children (as well as bugger the innocent cattle). They are outside the laws of civilization, and should be treated for the dirty barbarians that they are.
If and when some significant percentage of these savages decide to join humanity, we can reconsider what they deserve, and whether or not we should mock their god, their religion, their beliefs, and their perversions.
Until such time, the ass Donahue should stuff it.

That is an interesting point, as do the murderous imams really represent valid anger at immorality, or just a bunch of hypocrites?
Drawing moral parallels is something that Catholic luminaries have done, but is it right. It’s possible to “hate the right thing for the wrong reason.” Muslims are not thinking of eternal souls needing salvation, trust me.
He didn't wait for the most favorable rhetorical mise-en-scene, true. ("Not NOW, Bill, you knucklehead. Not now!) But what he lacks in prudence he makes up for in valor.
