I've seen them. As cartoons they're not particularly good. Their degree of offensiveness is probably about 4 out of ten. That is, they could have been a lot worse.
They're hardly the stuff to motivate a spirited defence of freedom of speech and IMHO they're not ugly enough to warrant the burning of Embassies.
If all concerned could have just ignored them they would have quickly slipped into the dustbin of history and no-one would have cared either way.

The problem is that muslims forbid idolatory images, and particularly images of Mohammed. Of course someone in the west deliberately antagonises muslims by posting pictures they find offensive supposedly as an expression of freedom of speech.
Intolerance and antagonism make interesting bedfellows.

Click it and see! You know you want to. 
I'm NOT curious about what's there at the link. What I am curious about is Fisty's motivation. Hence my asking him why he does it.
C'mon Fisty - please explain
