It's because you guys (in the general sense, not you in particular) get all worked up over it. Draw a cartoon, the Muslim world goes indiscriminately crazy and starts burning shit down. Film a movie about Jesus, the Christian world goes nuts and starts crying religious persecution.
That's kind of an unfair comparison, I think. I don't believe for a minute that guys like Fred Phelps and Donald Wildmon wouldn't lead 'their people' in the streets if they could get away with it, but that's neither here nor there.
I believe in God. I think Jesus and Mohammed, peace be upon them, were some pretty forward thinking guys, but I don't get all worked up when something offends me. The world could be a much better place if we'd all learn to laugh at ourselves every once in a while or at the very least...learn to look away.
