Moo Ham Med & Zombies

I was extremely curious as to why yesterday's attempt on the life of the Danish cartoonist involved an ax. My research found that an Indian, Haji Yaqoob Qureishi, a minister in the Uttar Pradesh state government, announced in Feb 2006 a cash reward of about US$11 million for anyone who beheads "the Danish cartoonist" who caricatured Mohammad.

The Controversy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy

The Mohammed cartoon controversy revolves around the Islamic prohibition against visual depictions of their prophet. Since he died about 1400 years ago he is most likely reduced to bones by now, so I guess this would make Halloween costumes of a human skeleton forbidden?

This would at least make it so that zombie costumes, my understanding relatively recently dead people, no where near the 1400 year mark, shouldn't be Isla-co-mic-ally offensive to confuse them as being depictions of "M" (oh, there I go self censoring myself out of fear of retribution of ax wielding maniac greedy assassins... as long as they don't disrupt the flow of and generation of really cool Lego sets, I'll be happy, it'll be worth it all. "Den-mark, Den-mark, Den-mark ...."

Now I am getting kind of scared thinking of the ~400 cartoons that I have made to varying degrees of completion. Luckily most of them make fun of stupid people and stupid animals. I guess I'll have to be a lil more cautious about answering the front door....
