Yes but those are rules for Muslims. Neither that Danish cartoonist nor Gary Larson are (to my knowledge) Muslims so those rules do not apply to them. The problem only comes when you, as Peter says, produce an image which insults or misrepresents a religion (regardless of whih religion, the conservative members of that religion will get offended).

Of course, plastering your room with pictures of Mohammaed and then inviting some Muslims in would probably cause offence for its rudeness/insensititvity.

yeah, and then you go on to stir Peter up and make him all intolerant. You swine!

Good point.

 

I think it is a little sick though, that the individual or group with the lowest threshold for offensive material seems to set the bar of acceptability for everyone else.

But, I'll make him a pizza to make amends. I just need to know what he'd like on it. :|

If he won't even co-operate in the creation of a yummy pizza for himself, then simply put black olives, capers, and anchovies on it. If he doesn't like that, I'll have it! (drool)

For fucks sake, how much salt do you want in a meal?!

Dirty bastard.

Pizza Napoli (with added olives, depending) is the food of the gods. :Y

GreyHair laughed when I showed the cartoon to her.

Religion: it's irrational. Leave it at that.
