Yeah my question isn’t why is an image of him offensive. Since they’ve actually made the choice not to break that tenet in this meme, my question is why is it more offensive to reference Mohammed in the second panel than it is to actually have a picture of Jesus in the first image. Seems like an equal critique of both Christianity and Islam, so I don’t know why one is worse, but all the comments are just about the rule barring images of Mohammed.
Yeah that feels obvious now lol. For whatever reason I was focused only on the caption of the first meme and just saw the second as racking on one more group rather than reading into the caption. But I read the word “fanatical” as identifying a group within the group rather than describing the whole. Like “an average Muslim won’t kill you for it, but the fanatical ones will.” Maybe wishful interpretation.

Christians are being called ‘annoying’, Muslims are being called ‘fanatical murderers’. In what way is that an “equal critique”?
