I don't care about your opinion. I'm just saying that cheese is offensive to all my values and that I will do whatever it takes to remove it from Wikipedia.
You think I'm irrational or mad? It's just that my values are different and that you have to respect them.
Or else.
Ok, go to the Middle East and stand in the middle of the souk and shout your opinions about Mohammed and pictures.
Rather than be attacked, my guess is that you'd be taken by the hand, led to a tea shop and patiently explained why your point of view isn't workable there. Even if the people explaining it made 50 dollars a month, they'd refuse that you pay for the tea. They'd probably invite you home to dinner too.
Unless you do it waving a picture of Mohammed or one of those cartoons. Then it might be a bit uglier.

Muslims consider photographs of Muhammed (or any other prophet) to be "haram" (sinful), but there are pictures of Jesus all over the place (Muslims consider Jesus to be a prophet) and they haven't complained about that.
That's hypocritical.
Don't as anyone to explain the logic behind it. Frankly, they would get upset if Jesus were insulted too, though not as hard as they get upset about Mohammed. The depiction aspect of Mohammed is a big deal.
There are other lacks of logic I've found, which I already discussed with you, including differing reasons for wearing the veil depending on which country you are in, or not wearing it at all, which are not consistent. But "whatever". It is what it is.
