I actually think many of the caricatures they do are offensive from a racial and ethnic point of view. Obviously nothing justifies murder, but I don't see the way they illustrate ME muslims as any different than something like this: http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/...-news/1.607891

Both are probably just as offensive IMO.. to me that is not even a question. Obviously the responses were quite different, which to me is the issue.
