I'm not saying don't hammer religion, government, etc. I'm saying it can be done productively without offending large masses of people.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying "respect the religion" didn't come up when it was Catholics being hammered because no one was afraid of them. Now that there's fear of violence, all of a sudden "respect" comes out of the woodwork, making it a load of bull####.
Every religion should be treated the same in people's willingness to mock their stupidity. Claiming you shouldn't do it out of respect for the religion isn't about respect at all. It's about fear of reprisal which makes it a hypocritical response and therefore unworthy of the respect it demands.
