Reverse Fauxtography?

The above picture has been circulating around some conservative blogs, see here and here. Considering the receent supposed "Faux"-tography scandal surrounding pictures coming out of the Lebanon conflict, wouldn't it be ironic if the above picture was staged?

It certainly looks possible: first off, the crowd is kind of small, secondly the signs they're holding up don't seem to have any writing on them, third the protesters look like only a few of them are muslims of the radical skull-cap were variety, while the people doing the burning are running around in jeans.

I don't know, it looks rather suspicious to me...I'm just saying, you know, the wingnuts are awefully quick to accept that photo.
