It's a cartoon and "it has to be pointed out after all" and all your arguments are ill-funded anyway. So it would be fine for me to do that and you wouldn't be angry, right?
Or maybe, just maybe, in your opinion my basic premise for that cartoon wouldn't be correct and you'd be offended by it.
And now who would tell us whose opinion on whether you're a complete idiot or not is the one that has a right to be paraded around the world? Would we just go with the local majority? So we make a poll and if most people vote that you're an idiot, I can make the cartoon? Would that be fair and not buttholish of me?
Because when you heavily mock a religion, you basically say all of its followers are idiots for following it in the first place.
And it's not like you have to be offensive to disagree with something or tell someone that you think he or she is wrong about this or that. In my opinion and experience, calling someone an idiot is usually not a good way to make them consider your argument.
