The difference between Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism & Buddhism on one hand and Islam on the other

The Onion have a nicely satirical article with an image and then description underneath. The image you can imagine or visit The Onion to see, here's the text:
'WASHINGTON—Following the publication of the image above, in which the most cherished figures from multiple religious faiths were depicted engaging in a lascivious sex act of considerable depravity, no one was murdered, beaten, or had their lives threatened, sources reported Thursday. The image of the Hebrew prophet Moses high-fiving Jesus Christ as both are having their erect penises vigorously masturbated by Ganesha, all while the Hindu deity anally penetrates Buddha with his fist, reportedly went online at 6:45 p.m. EDT, after which not a single bomb threat was made against the organization responsible, nor did the person who created the cartoon go home fearing for his life in any way. Though some members of the Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Buddhist faiths were reportedly offended by the image, sources confirmed that upon seeing it, they simply shook their heads, rolled their eyes, and continued on with their day.'
What is incredible is that this is true, I have shown The Onion's image to a Christian, a Hindu and myself (a Jew), I had no Buddhists to hand, and all were not happy with the concept but vaguely amused at the execution of the drawing. That would seem to be the difference between followers of these religions: the majority of Christians, Jews, Hindus and Buddhists (as well as Sikhs, Jains, Shinto etc. ) have a sense of proportion and can exercise self-restraint, too many Muslims don't and can't - or maybe are unwilling to do so when by behaving in the way that they do they can gain special privileges.

Oh by the way here's that image, what do you think?





In the meantime if you are not sure what religion to follow, here's a flowchart to help you choose
