The response from the more vocal and demonstrative adherents of that religion have certainly shown how far off the mark such commentary was.
Maybe - more than anything else - they just love irony.
I'm just waiting for the day when there's a group of guys massed in the street, all set to chant and burn effigies, when all of a sudden the organizer says "Hey - uh - sorry to dissapoint everyone, but we've consulted the almighty himself and he informed us that actually, unlike the cartoon episode, which seriously pissed him off - this one is just way to trivial to get upset about. He said he'd get back to us if anything came up though, so keep the effigies handy and don't forget those slogans."
God is way more efficient. He would just smite them all with a thunder bolt.
