Poll question: Were you personally offended by the Jyllandsposten cartoons of Mohammed?
Just wondering. Personally, I wasn't at all.

1. No, just a run-of-the-mill mildly racist cartoon
You see them all the time. They're idiotic, ignorant and aimed at the same kind of audience.

2. I have chosen not to view the cartoons so have no idea what they are
all about. I NEVER look at an accident either. I just have some sort of aversion for death and destruction. In fact, I would have been a doctor if not for pain and suffering!

3. To be honest...
I haven't seen it as it has been totally expunged.

I'd *like* to have the opportunity to form an opinion. From the descriptions
of the cartoon I've read I don't think I'd have thought much about it if I'd
seen it.

4. Here's a Low-Res Version from Wikipedia


From what I can tell, it's pretty standard stuff. Nothing compared to the Steve Bell treatment.

A hundred years ago, depicting Jesus like this would have evoked riots in the streets in the US. It takes awhile for the culture to change. It will.

5. Hmm...
Well, nothing changes.
