An informative cartoon warning children of the dangers of Islam (fun fact: this was drawn by a Muslim)

A cat is fine too when it comes to offending Muslims.

Last Thursday, some Danish asshole decided to post up a bunch of shit Muhammad fanart that they drew into some influential newspapers. Ostensibly, this was motivated by a desire to discover why Western cartoonists were reluctant to draw images of Muhammad in the same way they did Jesus. It was a social experiment, you see.

Needless to say, the entire third world got their knickers in a tangle over a couple of comics that were probably drawn by the guy that does Family Circle. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton aren't the only ones with 'rent-a-riot' flash mobs ready to spring into action with one speed-dial. Hordes upon hordes of screaming fanatics sacked and looted Hot Topics across the globe, stealing eye-liner, fishnets, and razor blades to use in their satan-worshipping Muhammadan rituals, trampling one another to death in the process (as usual).

From these events, the clever Danes were able to hypothesize that when you print cartoon images of the prophet Muhammad, fundamentalist Muslims will get very butthurt and threaten to behead you and shit. Though obvious to everyone else, this was apparently a novel concept to liberal Scandinavians. They've since apologized for the feature in question, which only pissed off the native-born Danes and the Muslim immigrants, meaning that Hot Topic franchise-owners had to buy a dog and get some curtains.

Amazingly, a cartoon need not actually feature a drawing of Muhammad for Muslims to get offended; simply mentioning his name will suffice to generate mucho drama. In 2007, a newspaper in Bangladesh printed the cartoon to the right, featuring a conversation between a man and a young boy who is holding a cat. Translated from moonspeak their exchange is as follows:

• Man: Boy, what is your name?
• Boy: My name is Babu.

• Man: It is customary to mention Muhammad before the name.

• Man: What is your father's name?
• Boy: Muhammad Abu.

• Man: What's this in your lap?
• Boy: Muhammad Cat.

Yeah, wicked funny, right? The cartoonist's intent seems to have been some mild satire concerning the Muslim tendency to name kids 'Muhammad' (though 'Osama' is moar popular at the moment) and not to rag Muhammad himself. Furthermore, the Koran is said to contain many examples of the prophet's love of cats (and loli). But, Islam being devoid of lulz and Muslims in general lacking the satire gene, all hell broke out again. The editor was fired, the cartoonist was arrested and the mob demanded his execution.
