7. If the cartoons depicted

a black man with the "N" word or a gay person posed as a pedophile, implying all gays are pedophiles, would you say the same?

I haven't seen the cartoons, but if they simply have a drawing of an Arab labeled "Mohammed", realize it can stand for the Prophet or Islam in general ("Mohammed" is one of the most popular first names for boys on the planet)-and my take on this is that it is a slur against the faith, and shows hatred just as much as a cartoon about blacks or gays would.
