Does it seem odd that one of the underlying causes of the Sudanese outrage over the teddy bear named Muhammad incident was a flavour of colonialism, yet the resolution came after British Arab Muslims descended to talk the Sudanese government out of a harsher penalty and towards a pardon? Put another way the cracker was offensive but there was nothing paternalistic about the Africans getting put in their place on what Islam truly means by Arabs.
Yes you can interpret this event in other ways but the parallel is there and it is weird.
