I find a lot of comics unfunny. I guess this one is funny. I'd never connect it to "Islam". The liberal press never protested against government grants given to artists who stick a cross in a jar of urine.

[Bear in mind I'm not a Christian, so this is not from a pro-Christian bias.]

The Left doesn't mind radical Islam because it is anti-American, anti-freedom and anti-Western culture. From practical theological point of view, Islam as it is practiced today is more amenable to ARBITRARY interpretation. That is it has something in common with secular humanism. What is right/real/true/good for you, may not be right for me -- that is it is more subjective. Really what is more important to those practicing Islam is what tribe you belong to as expressed by the particular sect to which you belong. Thus other muslims can also be considered infidels subject to rape, torture, murder...

Since the Protestant Reformation, Christianity has evolved away from the arbitrary edicts of clerics to being more based upon objective study of the scriptures. This has led to a far less tyrannical and more spiritual and life-affirming religion.

Since Martin Luther, it has been nearly inconcievable to embark on mass-killing in the name of the Almighty as it is for mohammedans.
