All I want is for the Islamic and Arab worlds to grow up and join the fucking club: everyone gets parodied by newspaper satirists. If you’re offended by a picture of Mohammed wearing a turban shaped like a bomb, I hope you’re yelling yourself hoarse exhorting fellow Muslims to stop setting the goddamned things off. Otherwise, you deserve no respect and dishonor your faith.

Thanks to Yolanda over at this thread, for pointing me to the mother lode of anti-semitic material.

Yolande provided some excellent links in that thread. Here’s another extensive collection of equally nuanced, sophisticated cartoons.
Despite what some of the commenters in the previous thread suggested, it would be impossible to match the crudity and hatred of these cartoons in mainstream western media. If comparable material were published here it would be met with contempt and disgust, not riots and threats of bombings and beheadings.
