That kind of repression leads to the narrow-minded intolerant mindset that we're up against now, imo. I don't think it's the prophecies of Muhammed or the religion that has created these terrorists, but the tunnel-vision purposely caused by extremist leaders bastardizing a religion for political/domination goals. I haven't read the Koran and I'm not well versed on the contents, so this is only my opinon based on research here and there over the last couple of years.
There are so many funny, disrespectful, praising, etc... depictions of Jesus, God and other biblical figures posted side-by-side all over the internet and print media. We have the freedom here to laugh at them, get indignant, argue publicly or privately about them, whatever... Hard to imagine the chaos if the Chrisitian world went apeshit everytime a new Jesus mock popped up. I guess maybe some Muslims think that going apeshit will deter such depictions - chicken and egg. If that's the case, it's not working so far. What a fucking mess...
