them if it bothers you that much. Walk away. Turn the other cheek. If you're firm in your conviction that you're right and they're wrong, then why wouldn't you simply look at them, chuckle at their ignorance, and move on?
I am aware of Prophet Mohammed's impact on history and the world. And it's not like I actually have a burning desire to go around insulting people and things that others hold dear (though I must confess to truly enjoying a good heated debate!). But it really irritates me when Muslims expect that they and their religion, somehow, should be given some sort of special status and that nobody is allowed to make fun of them or draw cartoons.
As I have said before, I think that EVERYTHING is fair game. So go ahead and deny the Holocaust! Draw a picture of Mohammed as a terrorist! Tell as many blond, Polish, Jewish, or Catholic jokes as you want! March down the middle of the town and tell me how you think all blacks are lazy drug dealers who eat fried chicken, how all western women are sex-craved ho's...
What you say might be terribly distasteful, and I might get offended, and I might feel compelled to respond and try to show you how wrong I think you are. But I will vigorously defend your right to say it.
