I consider a Darwinised ICHTHUS to be real hate speech. It is an obvious attempt to insult, ridicule, and inflame a particular group of people. Very bad form.

While feminists and race baiters pioneered hypersensitivity, Christians have been catching up wonderfully. I guess, as feminists once claimed dirty jokes were the equivalent of rape, you could argue seeing a Darwin fish is the equivalent of martyrdom.

Or, alternatively, you could get a grip.

"Or, alternatively, you could get a grip."

Or you could be mature enough to know this sort of things just inflames and starts fights.

It is the equivalent of yelling fire in a theater. Why intentionally provoke a group of people? I think Islam is nonsense, but I would NEVER deface one of their religious symbols to make a point - it wouldn't change one Muslims mind and it could start an unnecessary altercation. Besides, the Darwin fish sends a message that Darwin is your deity. I thought that wasn't so with the "pure" scientist? Professor, you know that such things are bad form, just as a Christian getting in your face and trying to provoke is.
