"It's disrespectful to us as a people," Asim Abdur-Rashid, an imam with the Majlis Ash'Shura, an umbrella group for mosques in the Delaware Valley, told the Inquirer for a story today. "It's disrespectful to our prophet to imply that he's a prophet of violence."

How does the cartoon do more to "imply that he's a prophet of violence" than the actual actions of these radical Muslim militants?

Why doesn't the "peaceful" religious leaders of Islam protest as fervently against the behavior of the radicals that more strongly support such ideas?

What kind of sense does it make to rebut an implication that he's a "prophet of violence" with violent protest?
