Yes it's offensive to condemn an entire religion of 1.6 billion people like this...Even if it does make a point (A true point) about their fringe elments. It's bigoted.
And I'm sure that will be a minority opinion on this thread.

When I hear "mainstream" Islam rise up and denounce Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad en masse then I will know that Islam is tolerant of the culture and religion of others.
PCism like yours is liable to get millions killed....

"Germany was a threat to civilization because Nazis and their ideology took over German society while the majority of Germans (the "good Germans") either supported Nazi ideals or did nothing. Russia was a threat to civilization because Communists took over the country, and the great majority of Russians either supported Papa Stalin or did nothing. Some Islamic societies are today becoming a threat to civilization because Islamic totalitarians and terrorists are taking over those societies while a majority of Muslims either support their ideals or do nothing."

I would agree that radical Islam is 'fringe,' however the fringe is taking over the rest of the garment, and the garment isn't resisting one bit.

How can they be offended? Great discernment and research is required when choosing a horse to hitch your wagon to. There is no higher expression of love than the truth, and this cartoon is true in all respects.
