And I suppose that although the majority are against terrorist killings, they still don't like any cartoons about Mohammed. 

 

 

It seems that we can criticise or poke fun about politics or other real life issues, but we must not say anything about religion where belief in a supernatural being has to be given a special protected status. I don't get it.

Well said, Suzie.

'Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement'. (Wiki).

You can mock Gods, Prophets, Deities and Idols from all religions and faiths, but don't you dare ridicule 'The Chosen One'. The outcome of doing so could be pernicious and malevolent, resulting in one being stoned, beheaded, shot, or blown to shreds. If the result wasn't so tragic, the very idea of this would be risible.

Like you, I just don't get it.
