Anyway, the OP doesn't much care what you think, he's done his work - being a witness.

This is a fact from personnel experience, wounded,injured and dying people cry out to two people to help them, its either their mum or God, 3 wars/conflicts/other fighting events, plus a very large accident gave me this evidence. Will this change? no idea but if people are happy being a christian whats your problem?
You suggest this is universal, it is not.
- I had a near-death experience and spent 3 days waiting to die after being shot before I had a life-saving operation. Never once did I feel like asking mum or god to help me. I was more concerned about unfinished personal projects and work tasks than anything else.
- Richard Dawkins quoted research in care homes that concluded that those who believed in God while waiting to die were much more troubled (and in many cases even frightened) than those who were atheists and quietly accepted the inevitable without much emotion. My mum was such an example - she calmly told me that her GP had told her she would die within a few days after agreeing to stop all her meds. She was of very sound mind and was totally relaxed about the whole thing.

As I tell the proselytising J'ovahs and Mormons on the knocker, I was vaccinated with Catholicism, they and the OP don't stand a chance.

The forum has a religion section!! Never knew that Yeah. But normally the closest we get to religion is an argument about whether we should capitalise God or not.

I think what we believe in is individual.. I think a lot but I don't particularly subscribe to any religion as such. I like some church services just because they can bring comfort in times of trouble. I spent long time in Dharma Centre attending their talks and lessons and only stopped as I didn't need it any more. I found what I learnt that I needed at that time, I could carry with me and I did start to see cracks. I won't knock it because when I started there I was a complete mess. I see all the scientific arguments about origin of species etc and yeah well ok.. but its not 'feel good' information, its factual. I do think Ma Nature has a way of stepping in sometimes to change the planet. I find peace in nature, walking through woods, in the countryside and amazing mountains. If religion brings comfort then that's ok as well
As for the trouble caused by showing pictures of the Prophet Mohammed..why do folks do it? There must be other examples of blasphemy that won't cause such a backlash. That teacher and his family are probably now targets...and if the headmaster had not suspended him, he could have been a target..Is it really worth the reaction it causes.? I suppose people don't think through possible consequences. Its a strange world we live in...

It seems odd that blasphemy aimed at the established, majority (albeit waning, admittedly) religion is good sport for all while on the other hand, people who have the temerity to blaspheme against a minority, non established, imported religion should leave the blasphemer living in fear for their lives. Not only odd, it seems amazing that this is tolerated, in any way at all.

I think the teacher must have had some idea it wouldn't go down well with some of the locals.However,he should be allowed the freedom to encourage stimulating debate amongst his students.I've read that a fair few of the protesters are trouble-makers who don't even have children at the school.The same thing happened at a school in Brum where folk were protesting about sex education lessons.There are times when I wonder just what country I'm living in...

Multiculturalism does not work, and as per usual it’s the religious nut jobs that are causing the problem.
