There was a thing in the NY Times where they published an offensive picture of Pope Benedict, but refused to publish pictures of Muhammad 'out of respect'. They finally came out and admitted that backlash from Christians isn't as bad, so that's why they chose one over the other.
I guess if you're offended by something, slice a few throats and blow up some buildings and people will start respecting your views...
