Because it makes you look really un-cool. The left is very concerned that they look "cool"-they are not so concerned with the rights of ordinary people not to be terrorized by their neighbors. The placards those sweeties in the English news pix were holding up called for murder--beheadings I believe it was. The left is ok with that. Just don't call them un-hip. On the other hand, a cartoon, NOT calling for murder but giving mohammed bomb-shaped head gear...well, THAT is just uncalled for and insensitive and the monsters who printed that cartoon? well, they deserve what they get.
See how that works?
