In the West, however, satire is accepted and you can make caricatures of anyone. So Muslims here are demanding special treatment, and we shouldn't give in to them, if they don't like it they should leave. Why should we change our way of life to suit Muslims?

let's not tell them MAD magazine exists, just yet.
Once again you're picking out Islam, in a field where most religions can apply. I don't see how people being offended by an
offensive comic is anything that demonizes Islam, or anything that should be perticularly unexpected. but this should just add to the headlines of people taking life too seriously...
"ISLAMO FACIST WANT NEWSPAPERS TO STOP RUNNING COMIC MOCKING THEIR RELIGION AND DESECRATING THEIR GOD"
"CHRISTIANS HOLD BOOK BURNING OF HARRY POTTER AND THE DA VINCI CODE"
"CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE GROUPS PRESS TO BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD AND IT'S MORAL CORRUPTION"
"JEWISH COMMUNITY OUTRAGED AT BANK PRESIDENT SAYING HITLER TURNED GERMAN ECONOMY AROUND, BANK PRESIDENT RESIGNS"
