Of course they are offensive to some people. That's the point. Offend and ridicule views which are ridiculous.

- sthrs 12y agoYour Islamophobia is showing.
- jlarocco 12y agoFact of the matter is, they wouldn't publish offensive cartoons making fun of the Holocaust, Jews, Christians, 9/11 victims, women, etc., so it's not very surprising they won't publish these cartoons, either. If you want to see offensive cartoons there are plenty of websites just a google search away. It's funny how many stories are posted on HN about being sensitive to women/minorities/whatever, with comments full of people saying how open and accepting people need to be, then this comes up, and the dominant theme is "We need to publish offensive stuff everywhere, because fuck that group who's different than me."

It should be way more offensive to bow to the demands of the terrorists than to post some cartoons.
- Squarel 12y agoDoes that apply to all views, or just those which you find ridiculous?
