Who cares about sensitivities once you cross into satire.

You're effectively arguing that the people that got shot were murdered because 'the level of satire' was too high.

What hurts you is imaginary, killing people is real.

Identifying with a religion to the point that someone insulting your imaginary friend causes a person to commit acts in the real world or to be supportive of such acts is insanity.

If you want a better society then learn that not everybody believes as you do and that the rules governing a religion ONLY applies to those that subscribe to that religion.

I'm effectively arguing that Muslims are highly offended because we have the liberty to be so for this case.

Yet that doesn't qualify as enough to hurt someone, and that is why I said both.

Muslims are highly offended because they choose to identify with their religion in a way that is not considered normal by non-muslims.

Then stop saying things like 'the satire was perhaps too much'. There will always be people for who the satire was too much so your position would put an end to satire.

In my view the satire was still way too little.

Muslims being offended at stuff like this is bad for Islam as a religion.
