your problem is you see no difference between deliberately insulting (in this case a whole religion) and mocking a few individuals in a humorous or satirical way .Publishing a naked Muhamed or any of the other Muhamed cartoons on the front page of a magazine is designed purely to insult every member of Islam and it will do just that ,it will not distinguish between the radical jihadists and the peaceful Muslims who simply live their lives and harm no one that behaviour is not needed and never justified .

This is the kind of retaliation I'm in favour of, especially as the jihadists will have no idea who to aim their frustrations at

This is in danger of descending (or perhaps ascending) into a debate about article 5 of the Public Order Act.

well it could be useful if their means of communicating was disrupted or bank accounts suddenly emptied (if that's even possible)

Paris gunman Cherif Kouachi interviewed before death: 'We are not killers'.

Interview.

Hold on a moment ,you just said people should be free to antagonise Muslims and now your saying radical Islam ,which is it ? there is a very big difference

both, anyone and everyone. I'm free to antagonise you too. It's great fun.

I just find it ironic that the 2 who murdered at an office of a comic publication, were brought to justice (I consider their deaths true justice) at a printers.

No idea, but it's not their responsibility to make a stand. It would be great if they did. But you can't criticise harshly if they didn't.

If it was me? I think I would have. I'd like to think I would have.

Here's an example. I really can't get my head around those pyjama-type striped trousers bodybuilders often wear in public. I think they look pretty stupid.

If I went up to some 20 stone bloke wearing them and made fun of him for wearing them should I complain if he smacks me out for it? He wouldn't be right in doing that however my making fun of his choice of clothing would be unlikely to get a smile and high-5 from him.

Should he get a sense of humour or be aware that wearing odd stuff like that opens him up to ridicule? Hell yes of course.

Absolutely correct.

But would say then that the BBC should issue guidance not to take the piddle out of body builders? From now on, no more funny photos of body builders on HIGFY?

utterly stupid comparison

The BBC would not be expected to deliberately insult a whole religion in the name of free speech

Presumably your ok with Carl coming round and shooting you in the face now seeing as you deliberately set out to offend him.

I wouldn't expect them to. But I would allow them to.

Nothing deliberate about it just telling the truth ,his attitude and those who subscribe to it are part of the problem imo

I don't think they are, I couldn't care less how offensive, how rude, how derogatory someone is nothing justifies what they did, they are/were the whole problem. How far do we bend over to protect ourselves from these extreme terrorists and what happens when they carry on after that.
