Okay, if you can, step away from the "blasphemy" angle. What do you think that cartoon was trying to say? Was it supposed to say Muhammed liked bombs? Did they draw those cartoons simply because they thought it would be funny to draw Muhammed with bombs in his turban? We both know the answer to that question. It was meant to depict, in parody, the ideology and the cult of death that is embraced by a particular sub-section of Muslims. I understand why many Muslims, who have no connection to this terrorist ideology, found the cartoons offensive. However, those cartoons were attempting to make a point. I'm not defending the "artwork" involved, but those cartoons were also a form of criticism.

That certainly wasn't what I call "constructive criticism" but an insult to our beloved messenger(pbuh) from my point of view. And anyway if he was looking to criticize the terrorists he should have mocked their leader Osama and not Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

I actually agree with you. The target should have been Bin Laden, but that would also be missing the point in a way. What does Bin Laden use to brainwash people into buying into his worldview? He uses Islam. There is no way dance around that reality.
