Nobody is picking on anybody personally, this insult of the prophet is a wholly religious concept, and anybody can mock an idea. They're not mocking individuals, they're mocking a religious idea. People voluntarily follow this idea. They don't have to, but they do.
If we go and stand back because we're scared, then what?
Like that ass that wants to threaten Irish people posting the pictures with the blasphemy law. Well, guess what, everybody is posting them all over his feed.ISIS is killing a lot of Muslims. If we back off and denounce freedom of speech, and freedom to criticize ideologies who is going to stand up for any religious person when another religious person mocks the extremes and then gets threatened? It's not just the non - religious that are screwed if extremism can't be mocked and pointed out.

I'm not saying it's right; just saying that winding up Muslims is a bit like picking on the highly strung, angry weird kid at school. Pick on him if you like, but don't be surprised when he turns around and smacks you in the face.
