Those who submit to the will of Allah are identically incapable of offending muslims about their prophet.
It's funny how hard it is to tell apart an appeaser from a submitted adherent.
I'm not an appeaser, but I understand why you might be.
Do you remember the Texas 'Draw Mohommad' contest, where an attacker was shot by attendees?
Which side do you take on that? Is it wrong to have that kind of art? Is it wrong to attempt murder over that kind of art? Is there something in the middle?
Because the religion of submission requires only that you submit.
It's really very simple.
Drawing Muhammed is legal, even if some people think it's tasteless.
Mocking imagery of Jesus is legal, even if some people think it's tasteless.
Drawing President Trump dead in a pool of blood, drawn and quartered, with Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes pissing on his dead body is legal, even if some people think it's tasteless.
All of these things are legal in any neighborhood, and the people drawing them have a fundamental right to display them, talk about them, and hand them out in leaflets in whatever neighborhood they want, as long as it's not private property.
Other people have the right to protest or otherwise speak out against such activities, to descry it as hate, or offensive. They have every right to yell at the distributor of the leaflets and counter any argument - and to just make noise in protest, if they want. Whatever.
Neither side has the right nor the legal justification to hit someone or kill them or attack them, etc. in response to the leaflets or offensive displays.
It is a violation of fundamental human rights for the cops to impose a "prior restraint" to stop such speakers from entering neighborhoods where the cops think the offensive leaflets may cause other people to react illegally and violently. That is an affront to human dignity, and a massive oppression of individual rights and liberty. The cops are not the arbiters of justifiable offense. If someone calls the cops because a crime was committed, then they should investigate and prosecute. Their job is not to engage in some Orwellian thought-crime analysis, and determine what words and drawings the people they serve are allowed to see and hear.
Whichever individuals engage in criminal activity or violence should be prosecuted. They are in the wrong legally. In terms of decorum, polity, customary behaviors, etc., the people making various drawings and leaflets may well be morally or etiquette-wise in the "wrong," but that's for a free people to determine among themselves. It may be that Moslems walking around Christian sections of town with insulting pics of the Pope might not get much of a reaction, and it may be that Christian sections of town in Musselman neighborhoods might get a very angry reaction if they trot around pics of the Mighty Mo. So what? In the end, keep your hands to yourself, and it's all good.
Nobody has a right not to be offended. Not Christians. Not Muslims.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
