No one suggested that you should, but it is important to know that there are people out there who will react in that manner and that one should not do things to provoke them. Does that apply to knowing that there are people out there who will react to publishing certain cartoons of a certain religious icon as well? Should one not do that since it may provoke them?

Apples and oranges argument. The fact is they were in a bar. There is always a number of belligerent drunks in a bar. They were also outside the US. Engaging in any behaviour that would call attention to themselves was not terribly smart.
This tidbit from the article should make ANY American tourist very cautious.
For the first few days after the attack, St. Maarten police did little to investigate, according to the victims. But after CBS and ABC News ran TV reports, the case moved ahead.
