I've seen people wearing t-shirts that are supposingly insensitive to Christians. e.g. 'Jesus, please f**k me' No significant eyebrow is raised...
But can you imagine muslim outcry if someone wear a shirt that goes 'Allah, please f**k me'.
Guys, please take this question with a open mind. It is mere hypothesis.

Of course there would be a different reaction. Just look at the parallel on TV, or in movies, etc. Everyone from Borat to Madonna to Brian on Family Guy can make fun of Christ and/or Christians. But when a cartoonist publishes a likeness of Mohammed in the paper, there is protracted international outcry, and even the threat of violence. The disparity is clear. I don't mean to whine--only to say that I agree that the suggestion of your question is valid.

Though I am atheist, I regard these shirts as offensive. They are a deliberate effort to stir up a negative reaction, and their wearers seem to be eager to embrace the trouble that follows.
As for a Muslim reaction to these shirts...I can't begin to guess. I wouldn't want to see the results, though.

Christians are generally more open minded compare to muslim. But personally, I feel both are insensitive.

In my opinion; one could look past this and not choose to let it "offend" and of course the choice to even display this is really a thought to why in the first place.
I look at it as one person's viewpoint and respect it. Is it really causing "harm" not really. It may not be the most respectful thing however; why "feed" more energy and attention to it.

Im sure the shirt offends the Christians, though we arent likely to riot any time soon.

I think anyone who wares t-shirts with any religious meaning should be taken to the cleaners.

They are both offencive. Just one reaction is more mature then the other.
