Muslim Cartoon offensive or truthful?

I do not believe the cartoonist that drew the picture of Mohammed with a bomb for a turbine was insulting Islam but pointing out that the terrorist that bomb innocent women and children are hijacking and degrading the Islamic faith by their own actions. The people of Islam should be protesting against the terrorist for making such a cartoon relevant and not the cartoon. If the people of the Islamic faith do not want to be thought of as cold blooded killers then it is up to them to stop condoning the terrorist by their silence and to start denouncing their cruel and uncivilized behavior as blasphemous. If the people rioting do not condone killing but actually agree and support the killing of innocent women and children then I think we (Westerners) need to know it and stop pretending there is a silent majority of muslims that want peace if that majority does not exist.

If there had been a cartoon about a priest molesting a child and Cardinals were hiding the fact. I think most of the outrage would be toward the catholic church because at one time it was based on fact not prejudice. That cartoon would be offensive but based on real life events with the intent of shamming the church into cleaning up their act.

The crucifix in urine did not have a point that I am aware of it was just meant to offend Christians. It was also publicly funded which just adds insult to injury.

If the truth offends us we probably need to be offended if that is what it takes to make us recognize the truth. But to offend just for the sake of offending is pointless and rude.
