I see where you are coming from. That is why I stated my position is evolving. I fully agree that satire on religious figures is distasteful. But should it be banned, was the discussion. Since satire on holocaust is banned in some places, I was of the opinion that satire on religious figures does not compare.

But maybe you and others are right. Who am I to dictated a Muslim should feel only as much hurt when his religious figure is sattarized as a Hindu would be if his religious figure is made fun of.

Looks like my hypothesis was wrong. I sense the hurt is deep. And real. And that is enough for me to recognize that such content shoukd be either banned. Or result in the firing of the satirist.

thx and appreciate flexibility in your thinking process. Not many people have this quality!
