As it is summer time in US, and lots of mom live in Southern state with older kids, they probably have difficulties to imagine how Claire Mom felt when the accident happened. (With my child grows older, I feel less and less urge of rushing out to protect him.)
Before jumping out to blame a mom protecting her child, try to be more understandable.
(Comments on Muslim is another issue, of course. However, if Muslim society cannot or will not tame their extremists, it is understandable for people not thinking well of it.)
