I saw Charlie’s cartoon 
of Jesus 
popping out 
of Mary’s womb
and saw some other cartoons
including the Prophet's
butt, but, 
yes,  
I had a visceral
reaction to bright-eyed,
smiling Jesus 
emerging from 
a daffy Mary’s vagina, 
but,
I caught myself 
saying, kinda,
it’s just a cartoon.
It has something 
satirical to say about 
marketing Christianity;
I could accept it
and let it go
but I’m not a Muslim
watching 
the “Kill a Bunch of 
Muslims Show” 
on T. V. 
brought to you 
by the U.S. and 
European police
and military.
Good taste, bad taste,
in the name of free speech?
Insult upon injury --
“Blow back” is what 
the radicals preach.
