So it is false that Allah will allow everyone who worships a monotheist religion to go to heaven, even if that person is a Christian?

From what I have seen, Islam have been the most misunderstood major religion because of the lack of contact most people have with Islam and only stereotypical actions are exposed to the public in the United States. It is only the extremists that make TV, not moderates.

But you do have to remember cultural differences too Muslima. What is considered to be insulting in Kuwait could very well be considered normal in the west. I think the cartoon shows this very well. While I can see how the cartoon is insulting because it not only shows the prophet Mohammed (PBUH) as a terrorist but stereotypes the whole Islamic population as bloodthirsty suicide bombers which is very far from the truth as most Muslim moderates are just violent as moderate Christians. Though, I doubt the cartoon was meant to be an insult to the Muslim people, but just poking fun at the stereotype itself.
