It's just an artistic interpretation. The last supper has been done probably thousands of times in art and comedy.Really poor for the Paris Olympics to mock Christianity, they wouldn't dare mock Islam .

Don't know about the Olympic committee but can't help think of Charlie Hebdo.
The Last Supper
It is a fair point. Two incidents come to mind; Salman Rushdie and Charlie Hebdo in relation to Islam. I can't think of a Christian equivalent (although there might be one).I have zero problems with people taking the piss out of religion but the earlier point stands. It seems ok to attack christianity but not others
It's not OK to hold Christ up to ridicule at any time.It is a fair point. Two incidents come to mind; Salman Rushdie and Charlie Hebdo in relation to Islam. I can't think of a Christian equivalent (although there might be one).
I think it shows some maturity to be able to laugh at yourself and not take things to heart. Maybe it's just that Islam is a younger religion? Christians certainly were putting blasphemers to death several hundred years ago.
The French did also ban the burqa so it's not as if they're scared of offending Islam either.
