Care to come into this century and argue that there are no dots to connect between WTC '93, USS Cole, 9/11, Madrid, 7/7, Glasgow, Richard Reid, etc, etc, etc? Did you read the first line of what Joe said, namely, "At least for now...all terrorists are Muslims." If you insist on finding the exception to the rule at least find some that are at least not from a different millenium. Mr. Mustard,

Okay here goes.....God is all powerful, therefore he doesn't need followers, nor does he need their love because he's all powerful in any case. People kill in his name to defend god's name, but god is all powerful so there's nothing a human could ever do to weaken god. Supposedly god "offers" love to you, but if your refuse people kill you for not taking it. People don't threaten to kill others if another refuses their love (normal people anyway), so why does god insist with threats of eternal damnation? Here’s what I don’t get about religion in general.

That's because the only places where Christians use bombs are usually at abortion clinics and Oklahoma. The rest of the time they are smart enough to know that the best way to kill an oponent's idea is through voting against it, which is something the muslims have failed to understand. “many are seeing this as a sign that there is a double standard and poking fun at Muslims is treated differently than poking fun at Christians for example.”

Interject your religion into the political sphere, whether it be Sharia-pushing Islamists or the Religious Right in the GOUSA, and you, and your beliefs, are a fair target.

Indeed.

“Making fun of Islam (or any religion) is offensive, ”

No.

OK, well, it can be offensive, but it should be done.
