Hundreds of cartoonist drawing pencils. A few willing to lampoon Mohammad.

I’ve noticed and thought the same thing myself. I heard that a German paper reprinted some of the “offensive” cartoons, but that was it.

Let us see more cartoons lampooning Mohammad.They're always ready to lampoon Christian targets, so it can't be an honest concern for 'religious tolerance.'

Robert Crumb has been living in France now for 2 decades. He offered up this cartoon last week
“I’m not going to make a career out of baiting some farking religious fanatics, you know, by insulting their prophet. I wouldn’t do that. That seems crazy. But then, after they got killed, I just had to draw that cartoon, you know, showing the Prophet. The cartoon I drew shows me, myself, holding up a cartoon that I’ve just drawn. A crude drawing of an a$$ that’s labeled “The Hairy A$$ of Muhammed.”
R.Crumb is primarily known for the “Keep On Truckin’” guy, Fritz the Cat, and that Janis Joplin/Big Brother album cover.

Some countries in the West have blasphemy laws against Islam.
Even Mr. Obama appears to support the notion.

I have a sincere question.
Does the Left even recognize WHAT political correctness IS, never mind it’s fallout ?

I've been watching the coverage on CNN. Amanpour and Cuomo are just giggling with joy over the wonderful "symbolism" of the French demonstrations. Yep, they believe that you fight AK47's with symbolism!
I'm waiting for CNN to change their Breaking News banner from "MARCH REACHES PLACE DE LA NATION" to "JE SUIS CHEESE EATING FRENCH SURRENDER MONKEYS"

They invariably proffer me a confused look. I then happily explain it for them: "Cultural marxism? You don't know what that is? You know, it's now called political correctness."
It usually shuts them up, and perhaps gets them thinking.
Perhaps.

I like it, but they are probably thinking you’re the Marxist or at the very least, an a88hole just for MAKING them think.

Pete Seeger and Woody Gutherie took to the streets to protest AGAINST going to war against Hitler.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

They're always ready to lampoon Christian targets so it can't be an honest concern for 'religious tolerance.' Because all Christians will do is pray for their salvation, and maybe protest peacefully - which is the correct response. They get to defame. We get to have our say. If they don't see the light, then we turn our backs, walk away and shake the dust of the unbeliever's villages from our sandals.
It's not an honest concern - it's cowardice. Keep slapping the pacifist Christian until he stops turning his cheek, and then claim moral superiority because the Christian displayed hypocrisy.
As Christians, following in the footsteps of Jesus is the most difficult task any human can undertake. To love in the name of Our Lord, even when you are despised.

Leftists are cowards.
All this brave talk of “je Suise Charlie” means nothing. It will all die down after a week.
