Exactly. It is a cartoon, a cartoon is a joke. A joke is meant to be funny. One could argue that a hell of alot of people obviously can't take a joke. But then on the other hand... you could say, well maybe they like any excuse for doing this type of thing. For example, look at the Miss World incident in Nigeria, one comment that was in fact meant to be a compliment to her beauty, became an excuse for muslims to run around butchering christians.

I just don't understand why they can't just do something funny back, why must they always resort to violence? I don't want to offend certain people by writing this, I just find it so hard to understand why they must retaliate in such extreme ways. It was a joke! There are cartoons in the papers every day depicting our politicians in one form or another and yet they never react by burning or kidnapping. Surely to better yourselves above those that have caused you injury is to respond in a dignified and intelligent manner?
