"Freedom of Expression, Go to Hell"? Am I the only one seeing the irony here?
There are idiots in most religions, giving them a bad name. Unfortunatly theres quite a large amount of them in the Islamic population. It never means the entire religion is bad at all.
Islam is a relativly young religion, it hasn't matured past the "Kill the infidel" part yet.

You sway generalizations with a heavy handed one yourself. Exactly how do you justify the veracity of your claim that a majority of Islamic members are 'idiots'? If anything, you sound like a bigot positing baseless claims as postulate, as if some sort of intense sociological discourse was carried out to bring you to your axiom.

How young is young? Exactly how do come to the conclusion that Islam was founded on "kill the infidel" principle when historicaly we are touted otherwise? Exactly how do you posit that religions mature beyong this stage, and exactly how do they mature? Is there forumulae?

Bill O'Reilly will re-energise his ban on anything French, and you know Pat Robertson would be issusing a fatwa or two. The christian extremists would be up in arms.
Let's face facts here people. When you mock someone else's religious figure, you should expect some sort of backlash.
You'd have to be ignorant or naive to expect otherwise.

While some at the show did recognize the Bin Laden face on the Christ body, we found none who were offended. Instead most defended "Tafa" the artist's right to speak his mind. The painting is bordered with hand lettered expressions and names including "mujahadin," "McCarthyism," and "Amadou Diallo," a man killed by New York City police in 1999.

Just curious - can you point to the "kill the infidel" part somewhere in the New Testament? Or how about in any other religion. It has been documented many times on this forum that it is in the koran, so I will not request (or respond to requests that I re-show this - use the search feature) that you show me where it is in the koran.

So, my wife and I have the right to be angry and kill all of the above mentioned parties, according to your logic. Get real. The murders of islam are using many made-up excuses and forgetting their past.
