I hope not to over simplify things, but, I think we can sum it up this way:

If it’s okay to have Piss Christ, and the Virgin Mary covered in dung, and call it art, then it’s okay to have a Mohammed cartoon comic drawing contest.

If the Christians who are deeply offended by Piss Christ have to tolerate it, because of freedom of speech/freedom of expression, then Muslims who are deeply offended by portrayals of Mohammed also must tolerate it.

Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
If Christians and Christianity can be criticized,
so can Islam and Muslims.

The pretty much sums it up. Now if the children could just calm down and behave sensibly.

Just curious but have the artist(s) (i use the term loosely) of those works of blasphemy do any pieces based on Islam?

I never saw in the bill of rights that we have a right not to be offended. The muzzies think it is OK to kill someone for offending them, but it is not OK in this country.

I propose softening our common expression

"excuse me, I need to visit the restroom"

to:

"excuse me, time to go paint Mohammad"
