That's a reasonable hypothesis. They know Christianity is a religion of freedom, where everyone has to make his or her own decision about following Jesus. Too, they know Islam has historically been spread by military conquest, and that its militant branch has recently adopted the weapon of terrorism. Some Danish cartoonists tried humor, and they found themselves targeted for assassination.
But there is another factor: Christianity is the dominant religion of the West, and nonbelievers think of Christianity as the antithesis of the pleasure-seeking hedonism they prefer. Little do they know that Christianity is the prescription for genuine happiness, including the lifelong intimacy of marriage, an infusion of new knowledge and intelligence, and the change of attitude that makes a person genuinely lovable (love-able).

It's got nothing to do with suicide bombers- Christians are just funny (thumbs down all you want, It will have no impact on my personal opinion you dolts)- I mean, when was the last time you heard of a door to door Muslim? Or a Muslim dressed in a woolly jumper, socks and sandals (I know not all Christians dress like this, but the demographic exists). Happy-clappy Muslims? The Muslim Army? Mohamed witnesses? (how many christian offshoots are there- whats next? I Can't Believe It's Not Christian?). Christians do it to themselves with all the hokey crap they cook up, it's got nothing to do with theology.
By the way, I think you need to check up on both the history of Islam and Christianity - did you know, for example, that at one point in the dark ages the last vestiges of european civilisation to which all of the west (including America) owes it's existence were kept alive in Turkey, a Muslim country. History goes beyond the last century, boys and girls...

I believe it's because Christianity is non-violent. The fruit of the spirit for Chrisitians is love, joy, peace, patience, goodiness, gentleness, nd self-control. Galatians 5:22-23. Considering what we see today they view us Christians as funny. If someone slaps us we are to extend the other cheek. It's the foolishness of Christ as he put that people find humerous...God has always used the foolish things to confound the wise. Islam well they are quite the opposite...so if Christians are funny, and foolish, the Islam is the opposite..scary and not to be messed with...
Many Chrisitians have lost their lives for Christ...but not in the way that Muslims have for the islamic faith....so one seems silly and the other crazy.....But Islam has been trying to overtake Isreal for many years....so...Jews have been forever hated...so....I guess it wouldn't be the prophecy being fulfilled if these things were not so...

HeHeHe! HaHaHa! *Giggles* How's that for laughing at those in Islam who support suicide bombers? I'm afraid they are going to be dissappointed, when they find out there aren't any virgins awarded for murderous acts upon humanity.

Jesus said, (Matthew 43)"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' (44) But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, (45) that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." And then he demonstrated this commandment when he prayed for those who crucified him. To the extent that Christians actually follow Christ's teachings and example it is safe to ridicule Christianity.
Mohammad said, "(5.33) The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement."
But fear is not the main reason that it is politically correct to ridicule Christianity and not other religions (even the most pacifist ones). I think that to unbelievers it is much more offensive to confront someone who wants to convert you than someone who wants to kill you.

Blind, stupid faith; submission to arbitrary dogma; clinging to ridiculous superstitions: Ignorance is never funny. The intelligent person can only feel pity for those who are still slaves to the mind control that religions exert on the poor and poorly educated.

No, I say bring them on. Muslims are fascists - I am an anti-fascist. If they want to march throuh London again carrying signs reading "behead those who insult Islam" etc. then if I can get a few people together I'd gladly go and counter-protest . I'll be sure to wear my Muhammed t-shirt. :) We'll see who's laughing then!
