What do you guys think? Who should be offended more? The Muslim community as a whole? or Barak Obama, the Democratic nominee for Presidency?

Be it a satirical criticism of Obama, or political prpaganda.. I personally find this illustration very offensive to Muslims. It was a cheap and tactless approach from Barry Blitt, whose many illustrations I enjoy, to convey his ideas and feelings on Obama's candidancy.

What do you think?

P.S. note the painting hanging on the wall behind the caricature of Obama, and the American flag burning in the fireplace.
