nate, if The Simpsons had an episode showing Mohammed there'd be problems. No matter what context, it's offensive to depict him.
Now, The Simpsons has showed God and Jesus in a less-than-perfect light and I'm sure people have been offended. And I'm sure some people have protested outside of the law. Of course, it wasn't a huge riot so it wouldn't have made world news.
Abe1: "I wouldnt say these people should be shot, but they deserve it..."
Then you are saying "they may as well be shot". There's no point saying "no... but yes". They should be punished under the law (i.e. Given a trial to prove they're guilty). You can't just open fire on a crowd and hope you get the "right" ones.
