Whether or not a muslim plans to die in a jihad to get virgins, it's still a part of their faith and thus offensive to mock. If I were still Catholic, I'd be offended if some newspaper showed a picture of a priest with the speech bubble "bring on the little boys" or something similar.

but pedophelia is funnier than cherry poppin'

Explain to me how offensive = going to far.

Generally speaking, it's a bad idea for a publication to offend their readership.

It doesn't, necessarily. From my perspective, the Post went too far, but that's much more subjective than saying that something is offensive.
