Heh, whilst I don't have a particularly high opinion of FrontPageMag, I can't do anything but agree on the article.

That satire should be met with violence and deaths indicates a religion that takes itself far too seriously for its own good. In the UK certainly, this is not only a problem with Muslims but also with the Sikh community (random link) and something that seriously needs to be addressed.

The Christians in the article are quite right - Christianity is lampooned over here on numerous occasions (and far often than other religions) but no incidents of violence ever occur. When Jerry Springer: The Opera was broadcast, groups of Christians gathered outside and sang hyms in protest. There was no mobs, violence or killings and their behaviour does them great credit.
