My impulsive insight for the day is that if we in the West can put up with our inboxes polluted with 75% offensive spam, driving out loving or urgent messages from friends and family, the Ummah ought to be able to put up with a few off-color cartoons that no one was paying attention to anyway. The reaction reminds me of the old lady in our neighborhood who lodged a complaint with the police about the firemen in the firehouse next door "displaying" themselves in the nude, while in the shower. So the cop came over, looked out the window, and said: "Ma'am, I can't see any nude men over there." To which she replied: "Well of course not. You have to stand on the chair!."

On the other hand, a fatwa against spammers might actually win Islam some converts, not that they're savvy enough to figure that out...
