Hmmm, as much as that is funny I think all of religious groups targeted in the picture are also prone to violence due to perceived grievance. Just not as much as the one conspicuous in its absence.
I don't know if you've followed the whole sordid story, but it turns out that the film's creator, who always calls himself "a Jew from Israel with money from Jewish doctors" is not a Jew and is not from Israel. He's an Egyptian Coptic Christian. He tried to sell tickets to the movie -- but only outside of Mosques in California. That's why the entire ME knows about this movie that no one ever saw.
I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop -- that he is really an Egyptian Muslim. Then it will be like those cartoons that were drawn by the Imams who claimed they were from the Danish cartoonists.

Yes I was thinking on similar lines. As you say, the analogy with those added extra-strength crudely put-together "Danish cartoons" is compelling.
