Because generally speaking, Christians these days do not believe in the Bible with all of their hearts. And they usually somehow have the misconception that they are supposed to act like pansies and tolerate disgusting depictions of their holy figures.
Or (and I'm just throwing this out there; if you like it you can keep it, if you don't like it you can send it right back) it could be that Christians actually pay attention to the teachings of Jesus, who said a lot of things (IIRC) along the lines of "love your enemy" and "turn the other cheek."

Now Nav, I understand that it is very presumptious for me (somebody whom Jesus would refer to as "a very naughty boy" at best) to question you (a self-proclaimed expert Christian moralist) on matters of Christian scripture and dogma, but I really have to ask:

Do you honestly think that Jesus would have been happy with his followers attacking people because a newspaper printed a picture of him wearing a funny hat?
