I am questioning whether this speech is anything other than a deliberate provocation of Muslims.  I mean seriously, how many people just feel like drawing Mohammed?  Like oh, great, it's really important to me as an artist to depict Mohammed, so I am going to enter this contest.  In what way is it important to them OTHER than to piss off Muslims?

There are satirical cartoons about every major public, historical and religious figure.      If, say after 9-11, someone published a cartoon showing Muhammed crying at the violence committed in his name, do you really believe that the sole purpose of that cartoon would be to piss off Muslims?     Do you believe that  satirical cartoons about Obama, or Netanyahu or Jesus are done for the sole purpose of offending Americans, or Israelis, or Christians?

It is debatable whether the Qu'ran forbids images of Muhammed, but in any case since when should the rules of Qu'ran (or the Bible) apply to nonbelievers?  And the rule forbidding images is based on laws against idolatry.    Does anyone believe that these cartoon figures of Muhammed are going to inspire idolatry?[/quote]
