Some aspects of modern culture are so pathetic. There is a problem with Islamic extremism, and their idea is to have a troll competition? I feel like there are millions of overgrown man-children nowadays. Grow up, it's embarrassing.
If you want to protest extremism then do something that actually protests extremism. Don't just gather a bunch of losers to draw pictures of Muhammed. That has nothing to do with extremism, it's just shamefully juvenile.
Lol? People have been killed over cartoons because adherents of this religion deem it blasphemous. It takes some courage to exercise your rights when it might actually cost you. It's not juvenile; it's brave.
And the intent is clearly more than trolling; it is the demonstration that unbelievers need not respect any given religion. This is a critical right and indeed, the critical test of whether a society is truly secular.
Christian religion in the West is subjected to much worse and much more regularly. You hear complaints, which make sense, but very little rioting or bloodshed over this type of thing.
What stands out is the double standard. People are bothered and consider it juvenile to make cartoons of Mohammed, but sacrilegious art when aimed at Christians finds its way into top museums and galleries. Stop being so defensive for Muslims.
