Thanks BillK, but surely you misunderstood, for I specified a Presbyterian
fatwa [jesus akbar, y'all], this having nothing whatsoever to do with this
other religion you mentioned.  We must be careful with The Religion you
mentioned, for it may soon be protected from any negative comment or
blasphemy by international law.  The internet never forgets.  

On the other hand, I confidently predict the Presbyterians and Buddhists
will never enjoy such protections, consequently ridicule and blasphemy
against them will be forever fair game.  Apparently we infidels have no
rights to free speech unless we threaten to actually kill people.  OSHA
gives us safe working conditions, condoms give us safe sex.  Do let us
practice safe internet postings.

Along those lines, here is today's shocking headline:

Outrage and righteous indignation shall surely follow.
