More Controversial Cartoons???

I happened to find these cartoons on Spiegel Online . There is no direct link to the cartoons but if you look under Carnival in Germany and then click on "Photo Gallery, Politically Charged Carnival", you will be able to view some interesting cartoons. They are in German with English translations underneath.

Are the Germans are pushing the envelope, should Islam be taboo? If Islam is taboo what about Christianity and Judaism? Appears that they consider Islam no longer Taboo. according to this story. Very interesting and thought provoking....back to my knitting.
