Well said. It is unfortunate that a radical element can cause ill-will toward the larger body of moderate people. If I can't speak for anyone else, but if I were faced with "we prefer not to have a physical depiction of him" I would absolutely respect that, and find people who cross that line to just be obnoxious and mean-spirited.
If the message is "If you draw the prophet you'll die, just as these other artists died" then it suddenly becomes meaningful social commentary about tolerance and speech in a free society and also becomes fodder for (cheap) humor like what they do on South Park. Seriously, people still watch South Park?
In any case, it's very, very wrong that there are people in this world who consider being obnoxious and mean-spirited a capital crime.
