Salman Rushdie
What happened when the Danish newspaper (Jyllands-Posten) had some cartoons offensive to Muslims? Anyone?

What happened when Salman Rushdie wrote "The Satanic Verses"? Anyone remember that one?

What happens when any other religion (e.g. Christianity) is ridiculed and the subject of offensive content? Nothing. The pattern we see is that offend Islam = violence, which is why Sony is taking these steps.
