I can\'t imagine any muslim finding a picture of their prophet with a bomb in his turban to be funny. I do think that many won\'t go shouting jihad but I do think that even the most liberal minded muslims won\'t take to mocking their prophet.
let\'s see how many catholics would appreciate a bobblehead of the pope with an altar boy kneeling in front of him.

That said, I do think the free speech/ free expression thing allows for it. My suggestion was of a bobblehead totally mocking the pedophile issues that church has dealt with. Catholics are, obviously, not against images of jesus. The dude is everywhere, even in toast.

Or maybe people will notice it, and Muslims who get overly upset over it - perhaps the radical, dangerous ones - and smash the window of the person's car it is on. Then the authorities can hold them for destruction of property whilst they run a background check - akin to how police leave bikes lying around unchained and cars with the keys in ignition to be stolen so they can lock up criminals for those relatively minor crimes while they check them out for more serious uncleared crimes. Could be a darn fine idea!

What would happen if word of this new insult to Islam were to get out to those same imams that sparked the riots over simple cartoons? Catastrophe. Already, our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are being overwhelmed by insurgents, and what is this but a call for recruiting to the insurgent cause? Even the image used for the creation of the Mohammed is dangerous, as it uses the chief image of controversy from the cartoons: the "bomb-head Mohammed." This is nothing less then perfectly tasteless, and I only pray that not one more life in the War on Terror is lost as a result of this "toy."

The difference is, Christians and Catholics don't tend to blow people up for showin Jesus pictures.
