Would it be allowed?

I do not know how to download an image on this site, so I will just have to post the whole link.

The question I now ask would a cartoon such as this be allowed by some, if it portrayed their religious leader?

I rather wonder if that one would be allowed It Italy seeing as they banned the Athiest bus slogan

-Ended up with one saying "Athiests exist and the Good news is that they believe in free speech"

I know what you mean though but your analogy is flawed.

There have been many cartoons of Muslim leaders like Ayatollah Khomeni.

Muslims tend to get upset when Muhammed is depicted.

But then People like Christian Voice act up when Jesus is lampooned - Jerry Springer the Opera for example.

It's a matter of numbers most "Chistians" in this country don't believe in God anyway so they don't get too upset

Hi jake What about 'the life of Brian'? and that was way back in 1974.

You didn't offer me help on how one downloads illustrations on to the site?

Life of Brian - indeed - I'm sure we all remember the fuss over that - seems so silly and so long ago now.

Take the website displaying the graphic and right click on the picture and select properties.

In the resulting box you'll get the URL for the particular graphic on the page which you can click and drag over to highlight then right-click and select copy (or Control-C does the same) and paste the link for the individual image.

I think you want
