Like Smart_Guy saysI actually came up with that myself.
Satire and humor are good things as long as done moderately and within reason, just like anything else. I don't think intentionally posting pictures you perfectly know offends some large group of people in a place you know very well they come around is not moderate, unless it was in a clear respectful context and understanding.
Again, this is not the Islam DIR - I wouldn't come into your house and throw your things on the ground. This is the open forum - in a thread about how violent Muslims are... which of the two things is more uncouth, mocking the idea that images of the "prophet" are sacred, or saying that everyone who fits a certain stereotype is an evil person?
And, again, as I said in my very first response to you - if it doesn't bother you all that much, then it wasn't meant for you. I had an even more vague photo of Mohammed that you didn't bring up, that was just a circle with an arrow pointing to it that said "Mohammed". Is that just as offensive.
It's a joke, dude.
It's a joke. If people don't like certain jokes, they don't have to laugh at them. If they're offended by them, then they should ask themselves why they're offended... That's the whole point. Simply saying "This offends me" is a nice declarative statement but it lacks depth. Why does it offend them? Why does it offend you? Saying, "well it just does so let's avoid the picture and the topic altogether" isn't really productive is it? It placates an insecurity and further propagates complacency of thought.
