I know it's not PC to ever be critical of Islam, but Islam is not a personal faith practice, it's a world conquering extremist cult, that does not accept freedom. if a Muslim decides they don't want to be Muslim, they get killed. Christians and Buddhists in majority Muslim nations are often attacked and killed. If a Muslims daughter wears blue jeans or make up, she is often killed by her own family. Islam is like the anti-thesis of freedom and tolerance. of course not all Muslims think that way, but a large enough segment does, and I believe they have many silent adherants, that makes it a big problem in a modern civilized society that believes in freedom and tolerance.

I have never heard of a Muslim leaving Islam ever getting killed
source
Muslim extremists early this morning killed a Christian convert in Mahadday Weyne, Somalia, 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of Mogadishu. Al Shabaab Islamist rebels shot Mohammed Sheikh Abdiraman to death at 7 a.m., eyewitnesses told Compass. They said the Islamic extremists appeared to have been hunting the convert from Islam, and when they found him they did not hesitate to shoot him
wiki
Bangladesh does not have a law against apostasy, but some Imams encourage the killing of converts from Islam. Many ex-Muslims in Great Britain have faced abuse, violence, and even murder at the hands of Muslims.[65] There are similar reports of violent intimidation of those electing to reject Islam in other Western countries.[66]

Very disrespectful
Whether intentional or not, you have no idea how disrespectful and insulting those cartoons are.
(IMO) Nothing positive can be gained from insults.

Many people are confused that Muslim girls here in America have no freedoms whatsoever from their parents, well this is not true. I for one am in a Muslim family, my sister, and other Muslim girls, wear makeup all the time. Do the parents go for the blade at all? No. In fact the Muslim girls I know are all pretty much average American Muslims.
That is assuming you do know what the Muslim world is like on the inside, and not from what you have heard, or think you know about it.

Well, Lurkee, it's a matter of perception. I don't see the post as offensive or the images offensive.
Should I be denied the right to see these images just because you find them offensive? If the answer is yes to that question then how dare you and how typical.
