Cartoon Confusion

The Church in Wales has published a magazine with a cartoon of the "prophet" Mohammed, which it has now quite rightly recalled.

The Archbishop of Wales has written to all the magazine's subscribers asking them to return the offending publication and informing them that they will be sent a replacement version, which does not contain the unfortunate material.

The cartoon apparently “satirizes Mohammed by depicting him sitting on a heavenly cloud with Buddha, and Christian and Jewish deities.” (?!) The other religious figures say to the “prophet”: "don't complain...we've all been caricatured here".

Yes, the cartoon is offensive and should be withdrawn.

But surely it is offensive to our only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? Is the cartoon not rather flattering to Mohamed and optimistic about his eternal destiny, given that Jesus said that no one comes to the Father except through him (John 14:6)?

Perhaps the Church in Wales should concentrate on standing up for the honour of King Jesus.
