There once was a post on the Onion about a caricature of Christian, Judaist, Hindu and Buddhist gods having an orgy and no believers wishing death upon the author, but sighing and closing the tab instead.

There was one with mohammed included too in a french satirical paper, but it was sometimes in the -70 or -80. Much cooler times.

...didn't that French newspaper then much later end up getting shot up?

I think it's the same but I'm not sure. The shooting was like 40 years later though so not relevant to the mohammed orgy images.

It was shot up by people who were mad that the journal was regularly doing drawings like that.

Yes but that was 30-40 years later.

It's not that specific drawing, it's that they still make drawings like it regularly.

Well yes, but nobody cated for 30 years so they didn't do it during that time. Or not at all as provocatively.
