It was a pretty hateful and ignorant thing for them (or whoever really did it...I didn't really follow the whole story) to do, but the death penalty sounds a bit extreme, though asking for it does make a point. Good luck to them.

Really? I live in America, and I could find that the evangelical Christians are pretty demanding here lately about such things as this being a Christian nation and the like. But I allow the radicals and evangelicals their beliefs and their speech and don't judge what I don't know. As for me, no Muslim or Christian is ever going to make me change, and I don't feel threatened by their beliefs or words or feeble attempts to do so, if those even exist. But that's just me.

Way to spread your fear and hate. Keep perpetrating it...that's exactly what someone wants you to do.

If i wanted to draw Mohammed as some kind of crab creature with a beard made from nettles whilst defecating upon a crowd of Mecca woshippers - then it is my right to do so as an artist.
Because Islamic law doesn't apply to me.
Because.... guess what... Mohammed and islam mean absolutely nothing to me - so why should I pander to them?
If i was to draw the pope in exactly the same position, then i wouldn't be too bothered either, because catholicism doesn't apply to me.
The longer we let the muslims think they can dictate their laws on us, then the longer we'll fall foul of censorship.
Screw Mohammed.

So you believe it's perfectly fine to ridicule another's beliefs? To make a joke out of something they find sacred because YOU believe it's ridiculous? Interesting.
