But it does, as it is always IN western journalism.
However, I have to side with Darunia here. A comical comic about their religion is perfectly within their rights. I mean, we make fun of Jesus right here IN the US, and that's perfectly fine.

Now, if it was meant as a thing of hatred, like labelling the entire Muslim population as wicked creatures, THAT would be crossing a line. I wouldn't make a law preventing that, but I certainly wouldn't publish it either.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
