There are many things in life I, and everyone else of course, take very seriously. It's when your "honor" gets in the way of seeing things in different lights that conflict occur. I am not saying that the muslims (or whoever else might be offended by this) should necessarily laugh along and say "good one, mate!". I am saying that there is a choice. When someone insults something I love for getting a cheap laugh out of it, I will not find it funny. But nor will I get pissed. Unless of course the whole point was to insult me. Then I'd kill the person slowly.

The point of this comic was not to insult anyone, but to get a cheap laugh. Some find it funny, others don't. If people could just leave it at that instead of bitching about everything, this wouldn't have to happen. I'd see it differently if the comic was actually -made- to insult, but as it is it's just comedy. And having seen the comic in question, rather harmless one at that.

In the end it boils down to different personalities. Unfortunately.

If you ask me, I think the whole problem is that education and teachings concerning religion is always preached so seriously. There is never room for distance or different views, it's just serious, serious, serious. All the damn time. As I said earlier, the reason to conflict is that people are entirely unable to joke around.

Sure, one can say "But hey, Terra, what do you know? You ain't religious! And you sure ain't muslim!". So fucking what? One doesn't need to actually be the "receiver" here to understand that it's all ridiculous and blown out of proportion. Nobody can deny that.
