The way they choose to portray Mohamed however is seemingly offensive (IMO) and I can see why radicals would use it as a vehicle to incite violence. The overall style of the mag is certainly grotesque and I can get with that as an art style since it seems equally applied. I think what Charlie was trying to convey though may have been actually more anti radical Islam than anti Muslim. I'm only speculating based off what I read.

I get the satire in what was presented via the link and if that's truly the gist of their Mohammed works then I can only wish them the best of luck in their war against radicals. I still think there is a way to honor that particular belief of Islam and still satirize Radical Islam though.
