Seen one picture of a piglet, you've seen 'em all.

[plain talk]

I wonder who the 6% are that like #3?

[thoughtomator]

Where's the "This is a manufactured distraction from the Iranian nuclear program, the only realistic explanation for why there was no reaction from September when they were published through the end of January" option?

[Supernatural]

I think it sucks.

[neodad]

I'm offended that every publication is referring to him as "Prophet Mohammed". You never see "Savior Jesus Christ" in any newspaper. I think I'll go burn some embassies.

[auboy]

Where's the it's a total crock choice?

[GOPJ]

When a cartoon is the focus of legitimate news story it needs to be published with the story.

There should be laws preventing the publication of such materials and giving redress to people who are offended. 6%

Hey look, only 6% of responders are laying on their backs and peeing on their stomachs......

[edchambers]

Hey, with them, it's any port in the storm. They don't NEED excuses to hate and kill anybody but they are gaining sympathy through this ridiculous uproar.(obviously, by the results of this one sided poll). You sympathizers, watch your backs. They be gunnin' for ya and you think you can make friends of them.

They have a mission and your head and my head are a part of it. They might can separate my head from my body but they can never separate me from my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Remember when that kooky artist displayed Jesus in a jar of urine. (Name started with "T" I think) We didn't like it but nobody got killed over it. We left it to the Lord to ferret out. Besides. we don't have pictures of Jesus anyway. Their so called prophet doesn't impress me one way or the other. Who cares! Not me. He sure is a hairy dude.

Those who are offended by the publications should limit themselves to nonviolent responses.

How about: Those who are offended by the publications should limit themselves to violence upon themselves.

(Don't just whack those knives until your head is a just a bit bloody; start at your own neck and cut all the way through.)
