A fair question.
I'm not so sure about that. The question presupposes ironically that
violence is a
justified response to insult.
No, it just asks what distinguish two superficially similar cases, one in
which a
cartoon insulted Islam and one which insulted four other major religions,
which had
very different responses. I'd bet that the people that created it at The
Onion
suppose that violence is NOT justified by an insult.
Hence the word "ironically".
If you want to believe that the cartoon was created out of pure innocence and curiosity
of creative staff at the Onion, that is your choice.
This doesn't bar us from questioning content and relate that to current events with
extra grain of salt. I can't consume this pap otherwise, with sincere apologies to
creative at the onion. Not my taste. We should aspire to better. PGC - Armchair Colonel
