Hi Cocktus,
firstly, i'm not a marxist.
Secondly, the word is Muslim, not Moslem.
Thirdly, i have not as yet stated my views on this, apart from conceding that the idea of freedom of expression is a self-delusional concept that has no basis in any of the realities we live in.
Fourthly I believe in freedom of expression, but i also know certain "expression" can be highly offensive, so you shouldn't be surprised when you achieve your goal of offending people.
Oh, and finally Cocktus, - the word "Mullah", though it is easy for you to use it in that generalising derogartory faashion - applies only to Shia clerics, in particular of Iran (it's a Persian word - meaning learned)). And as yet, the Iranians have been pretty muted on this (particuraly because they have a long history of depicting the prophet Mohammed in visual imagery). The one's up in arms are mainly the Sunni zealots whose countries have a pernicious history of Islamism.
