In our Muslim world We will be very angry if you claim bad thing about our example prophet Muhammed
So I take it humility and turning the other cheek aren't a part of Islamic belief?
My problem with this attitude is that it's not being kept within your "Muslim world". Muslims want everyone, everywhere, to show respect to their prophet or suffer legal retaliation or worse. I'm not a Muslim, I don't live in a Muslim nation, and I could care less if I offend a bunch of people who, like so many others, are trying to avoid entering the 21st century by clinging disparately to outdated attitudes appropriate to desert dwellers thousands of years ago. Blasphemy is not a sin in my book.
