what is wrong with this picture

You won't often have to put up with me posting about anything but art. But this has angered me a great deal the story is several days but a political cartoon has angerd muslims in europe and elsewhere. Apparently free speech is supposed to bow down to every religous whim that enters somebodies head and if it doesn't well violence and death thats what. I am disgusted by this whole affair here is a link to one of the stories http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11097877/
This is the kind of thing that really disturbs me that people are willing to do what a group of poeple who think that any view contrary to their own should be silenced by violence and violence only because its the easier thing to do

Does anyone ever care when Christ or God are poked fun at? It would seem as though Chris McFarlane is still making cartoons. I'm not suggesting that Family Guy and American Dad be removed from TV (cause I like 'em), I'm just wondering why the Islamic religion is so sacred? Sure Christian folk get upset about some stuff, but they aren't known for taking over political offices by gun point. It's not too often than anyone gets fired for making a joke about Christ either.
Idiots.
