>>We CAN, if someone WANTS to. We see MANY MANY cartoons making jokes of Christ, featuring him, say, walking on water, or whatever. Tha't the thing - we CAN - it's down to taste and sensitivity. And we can insult "englshness" or "frenchness" all we like, and not get sent to jail

Yes it could be, and church officials and bishops would be complaining bitterly, but there'd be no no fatwah declared and no prison sentences for the authors.

Now, no-one knows what Mohahmed, peace be upon him, looks like (or how to spell his name apparently), and if you look at all those cartoons, no 2 are alike, so how can it be the image of him. Some of them I find funny, some distasteful, some too near the knuckle (gone too far) but, if they were of Jesus, and even if they bothered me as a christian, as a christian I would have to forgive, not condemn the author to death.

I think some of the cartoons spoke too much truth: "Islam is Poopy", "Crybaby Muhammad" (obviously drawn by someone of that age). They are not saying that of the Prophet, or the religion he espoused, but of the interpretation and attitude of those who would subvert it for their own miserable purposes (e.g. the Taliban - bunch of kill-joys).

Did you not notice the hypocrisy of the one labelled "Filibuster cartoons"?
