I’m not sure our response should be “more cartoons”, any more than one’s response to inadvertently offending a co-worker, say, would be to ramp up the level of offensiveness.

Better to say that we will continue to go about our business from day to day, and mock, satirise or otherwise comment on any aspect of anyone’s faith that we consider worthy of such attention.

I don’t think we should go out of our way to do so; merely reserve the right to do it when we choose, regardless of the blood-curdling threats levelled against us.
