While I do occasionally slip up in my discipline, I try very hard not to make fun of anyone's deity.

Yes, that's eminently possible, the way the Nairobi/Dar es Salaam attacks on the American embassies killed mostly Africans.

Can't find any details on the casualties at the moment...

Cue the (now standard) old joke:

"Quit saying Islam is a religion of violence or I'll kill you!"

Yep ...

From the BBC: An embassy worker was among the dead and three were hurt but no Danish citizens were killed or injured.

You probably know this, but Allah is the deity in Islam. Mohammed is his prophet.

Must not be a very good one or he have told them it was coming.

You're right. He would have had to have been quite good to predict this specific event.

Does this just apply to cartoons that depict Mohammed?

What about jokes? Let's see... Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed walk into a bar. The bartender says, 'What will you have?' So... um... Mohammed condemns him for being a sinful tool of Satan and peddling intoxicating liquors...

What about a koan? "If you meet Mohammed on the road, kill him."

What if I produce a crudely-animated cartoon about vulgar 8-year-olds on Comedy Central, which depicts Mohammed in a completely normal manner?

What if I write an Andrew Lloyd Weber style Broadway musical about Mohammed's many trials during his time in Mecca and Medina?

What if I buy a teddy bear, and I want to name him "Mohammed"?

Will I just get a little bit blown up then?

Maybe it's safer to make fun of Scientology.

Well....yeah. Apparently I was...distracted. Yeah, that's it. Or hungry. Or sleepy. Or something.

Wonder if Bulgakov ever got death threats, since "Master and Margarita" has the same idea, except in a Christian setting, as the "The Satanic Verses." The chap from Nazareth had this fellow named Matthew following him around, writing down everything he said, but Matthew wrote it down all wrong...

Strange 'cuz I remember the cartoons and most of them didn't seem offensive at all.... though there was that one of the bomb underneath his turban. Funny. So of course Muslims do what anyone would do and go and prove the cartoonist's point. :roll:

No 'cuz then you'll get abducted by aliens.

Oh you don't have to mess with the image, they find it offensive to even draw him at all.

I drew a cartoon once to see if CHristians wanted to kill everyone when offended. Imagine...

Jesus mounted on the cross, but the cross is on its side on the ground. The base of the cross is chewed through... little pile of wood chips nearby. Thought balloon from Jesus says, "Damn beavers."

That ought to be more offensive the CHristians than a drawing of Mohammed, yet to date not one person has gone ballistic and run off on a murder spree. ANd in my experience, the Jews seem a lot more open to joking about their religion.

Scientologists are the most firghtening of all, they threaten you with LAWYERS!!!.

Maybe you'd have better luck saying that you run a free women's health clinic (which the rabid "Christian" may interpret as 'The gaping maw that leads directly to Hell which must be destroyed along with you - God willing, of course.'). In my opinion, there's no difference between so-called Muslims blowing people up over cartoons and so-called Christians blowing people up over abortions.

Sigh ... Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all ...

I quite agree that CHristians blowing up abortion clinics is the same thing as Muslims blowing up infidels. Religionists full of themselves.
