if christians are so dangerous, it doesn't make much sense to blatantly offend them. I'm sure by now, some dangerous christian leader has issued a death sentence on them. /sarcasm

The Spanish Inquisition is drawing up the papers as we speak.

Who would have expected that?

(Now I've done it!)

If Christians were so dangerous, universities would require freshmen to read about the Bible, and school children would have a day when they would dress up like disciples and serve Holy Communion so they would understand, tolerate and appreciate the diversity of other religions.

Insulting Christianity has become utterly trite and banal. Every so-called 'artist' worth his salt has done it. Mocking Judaism is just as clichéd, though not usually as mean-spirited.

No, the only remaining way these oh-so-daring, avant-garde, confrontational artists could challenge the conformity of modern life would be to insult Islam. Of course, since they are a sniveling pack of cowardly nancy-boys who hardly dare set foot outside Starbuck's, should we be surprised at their failure to do so? In the quavering words of a pusillanimous Seattle art critic, "Sometimes ideology goes out the window."

Any p**sy can insult Christianity in the serene knowledge that nothing worse will happen to him than an angry quote in the paper from Rudy Giuliani. It takes real guts to go the Salman Rushdie route.
