    He's a religious figure and the guy's been dead for 1400 . How can anyone be possibly bigoted against that?

    I'm tired of this shit. Comparing a racial slur with mild religious criticism or even pointless mockery is an extremely dumb take. Especially in a context where someone got beheaded over it

      islam and race are intertwined in the west though. Non muslim arabs are considered Muslims by the general population if they don't say otherwise. so directly antagonizing muslims is racist.

        if the antagonization is the dumb cartoons, how would a non Muslim Arab feel antagonized exactly? i'm a non muslim Arab myself. I'm trying to feel it, but i'm really not feeling the supposed antagonisation here.

        Obviously anything that crosses the line to demonizing or scape-goating Muslims is a big no but we're not talking about that.
