There's a certain amount of courage


necessary to do this in the face of certain violence. I often object to the toilet-type humour of this program, but you can't call them cowards.

When your cartoon can get you killed

There have been an uncountable number of jokes about the Pope and about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, but in modern times Catholics and other Christians don't generally go about trying to kill the people who make them. Another proof that Islam is still living in the 12th century, and is certainly, at least for the fringe Islamists, a religion of violence. Also, I keep hearing so much violent rhetoric surrounding the jokes and criticism and comments made out their prophet, but they don't seem to take the same attitude toward those things directed toward God. Is the prophet more important than God in their religion? I just find it odd...
