In what sense? The radicals will continue to protest and kill themselves. The moderates will either sympathize with the extremists or not, but they're not going to leave their homes to do anything. So I don't see these protests turning into much beyond what they already are. And the various ME governments aren't going to change their foreign policies based on this.
On the other hand, I would agree that this episode is just one of many small things that propagandists will use to further their "cause."
