Speaking of Anti-Catholicism

Via Isabel...

Do you want to start the protest campaign against this shirt, or should I?

What's extra disturbing is that it's almost sold out.

Clicking around I find that their entire company is based on offensive. When I clicked on their religion section, but before I scrolled down, I asked myself "How many times will they make fun of Islam?--I'm gonna say....ZERO." Turns out I was right.

If I ever get to the point where euthanasia starts looking attractive, I think I'll just publish a Mohamed webcomic.

If I wear a tee shirt depicting Mohamed, and nobody depicts Mohamed because it is taboo (death threats, persecution, etc.), how would anyone recognize the depiction as being Mohamed? Where does the mental image of Mohamed come from? If I label a stick figure with the name, am I violating ... uhm ... anything (not that I rule out rebellion in such a case)? What about such an image would Muslims find offensive? Should I be offended by a tee shirt with a stick figure Jesus? Or could it be considered tasteful in both cases? I am out of my depth here trying to think through where faith meets aesthetics in conveying truth. Perhaps stick-figure Jesus always can be improved on, and is offensive only in that it is the least beautiful?
