i think its a funny cartoon. this is a perfect illustration of unequal equality and idiotic extremism. every religion is mocked publicly in one form or another. trust the muslims to threaten the world with vengeance when i happens to them.
plus, surely they can see the irony, given the nature of the picture and their predictably idiotic reactions. |

I don't think they see anything when it comes to their religion. Its either join us, or we will exterminate you. |

What I find ridiculous is that in the Daily Telegraph that Warren dude has done some heaps more offensive ones (they were a lot funnier than this one thats for sure) but no one here blinked a eylid. Also, how fucking weak is it of the Australian media not to publish it? So much for freedom of speech. Muslims are as bad as Jews, they think they are beyond criticism. I wish they would both bomb each other. the world would be a nicer place. It strange that the common theme in metal over the last 30 years is a anti-christian stance, yet if a band has a anti Jewish or anti Muslim stance they are pegged as rascists. Since when did a religon become a race? |

The thing is that they are upset by the message of the cartoon, and then go and do nothing more than prove that it is justified.
Typical religion - hypocritical all the way.
And I'm sure that if it was a Christian cartoon there would be protests by someone, yet it would be on a smaller scale, and I couldn't see embassies being razed or people dying. Islam is obviously an attractive religion for those that like to portray extremes. |

Nah, I don't see that being as a limit to freedom of speech, rather than being cautious. There is no point in antogonising at risk of them retaliating, just for a few laughs. |

Great call bloke. Great call.
This is why I don't care about that newly elected Hamas government.

Censorship in any form is just plain wrong. Freedom of speech. Hah. Yeah, you can say anything you want, as long as its ok by me 
Its a lot worse to be labeled a racist than it is a religion hater, so Jews and Muslims will always turn any critiscism into an issue of race.
All religions are nothing but a plague, and they deserve to be mocked, as well as all the sheep who follow them. |
