Lucky Moran: Is this truly an act of war?
Otis Redwing: To some, it is.
Lucky: But seriously, how can a cartoon make so many people so angry?
Otis: Heresy.
Lucky: Heresy?
Otis: Heresy. In a strict interpretation, any visual representation is heresy.
Lucky: But how can cartoonists be heretics if they're not Muslim? You can only be a heretic if you actually believe in that particular religion.
Otis: It's because the heresy IS on the people who follow that strain of Islam. It's heresy if they ALLOW the disrespect to continue. That's why the one guy was screaming, "The prophet is avenged" instead of "I just greased the heretics." By avenging the prophet, HE was no longer a heretic and thus could get gunned down in peace.
Lucky: You mean in a hail of gunfire.
Otis: TomAY-to, tomAH-to.
