"freedom of speech!!"
"No ... it's a small world we all need to get along"
"freedom of the press!"
"No ... common sense says don't do it"
"But it's FUNNY!"
"But it's not to some others"
"That's their problem .. It's FUNNY!"
"Joke about something else"
"No! Freedom of speech!, this is 2012, they need to learn this!"
Okay .. did I get all 74 pages down to a single post ??
Save us all some time?? Yep .. I think I did.
To the OP .. do what you wish. If it's against T&C you'll be banned.
If it's not against T&C then you'll get it out of your system ...
some will laugh and some will yell at you.
Guess that says it all.edit on 11/12/2012 by FlyersFan because: typo

I agree that it would be rude, and stupid, however, I think the OP is asking a rhetorical question and has no desire to post such a cartoon.
Could be wrong, but rereading the OP I can't find where he has stated a desire to do so.

Who's stopping you from talking about this right now? You seem to be going at it quite well with no deaths threats so far.
Do you have a problem with respecting? Because wondering why you can't draw a cartoon, has been explained to you.
Try walking into a Catholic church some time, dressed like Marilyn Manson with a t-shirt emblazoned with an inverted cross.
Do you think that would be funny? Or, do you think people would find it offensive?

Yes but you are talking about posting it on here ATS, No free speech here look at the T&C's.
If you want to say anything in real life go ahead do it but If I went to any religious place and started insulting their God/prophet/Monkey God I would expect a kicking.
You know it will offend people so why do it?
Muslims do not offend Jesus they see him as a prophet.
I think religion is all hogwash TBH but seeing many people are religious (whatever thing they follow) I will try not to offend them but I will question them and try to understand them.
I have worked with Muslims for years now and I will tell you what they are decent human beings, at least they do not try to convert me and tell me I'am going to hell for not believing.
