Got halfway down the list and lost the will to live.
Even the attempts to use US pop-cultural icons in a satirical way backfires, showing how crass US culture is.
My only regret in criticising is that it incidentally moves this thread back up the list.
Rather than 'satirical' I'd call it cheap, dumb racist crap.
Here are some of a similar ilk someone prepared earlier.
Ohh, I forgot - it's ok to caricature moslems - that's not racist bigotry. My mistake.
Whaoh.
That's quite a rant, and I'm not 100% sure what you're on about, but I'll see if I can address a couple of points.
What's with the 'US culture' bit?
You call it racist and point out some anti-Jewish stuff, however I'm not exactly sure as to why a depiction of Muhammed is racist? Surely we can draw Muhammed?

What race is a Moslem?
Man, if we were to follow every rule about which religous characters we can't draw, then every time a person says that their purple dinosoar/big man in the sky/little grub with big hands/girl waving a flag can't be drawn, that's one less character that we may draw. Might as well ban drawing.
I'm not a Muslem. And, as a non-Muslem, I'm not going to be pushed around as to what I may draw and what I may not.
Next week... big 'pee pee's' and breasts...
