24. I think you are just plain wrong on this.
Muslims would insult Jesus because he is considered a Holy Prophet (#6). However, I don't remember this type of reaction to the "Piss Christ" display from the Muslim world.

Your assertion of "insult a Holy Prophet of another religion and you better learn to expect violence" is ludicrous, at best. I don't recall roving bands of rioters when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas in Afghanistan. I don't recall threats of beheadings when "Corpus Christi" (Jesus as a gay man) was on stage. No, what I see here is, "if you insult us, we will kill you!" That is not a rational response, at all! Your statement reminds me of people who say, "gays should expect to get the shit kicked out of them if they display affection in public."

Drawing offensive and bigoted cartoons is not, nor should it be, a call to violence and mayhem!
