Even though I don't eat pork

I know I never really do this, but I just got a few bugs up my shorts on some current affairs.
Firstly Mohammed, Mahmoud (praise be to his name however he spells it). I mean, come on. I get somehow that it can be upsetting for very religious muslims that the forbidden act of portraying M (praise be to the profet), but what I cannot really accept about the debate around this is the following: No one has pointed out that this act is forbidden by Islam.. that is to say; aren't we, the occidentals of the world, breaking an awful lot of OTHER RULES by the muslim faith? Say eating pigs, killing people, worshiping jesus etc.. Maybe there is some fineprint in this that I havent gotten the hang of, but it seems to clash in my head. I know some of my friends are more invested in Islam than I so perhaps a comment?

And right now, I can't think of what other thing I had on my mind. We'll see it it resurfaces.

Voilà. Thaank you! It is a sadly common trait in people it is; getting blinded by the problem and forgetting the given constants of the equation.
