Perhaps your english is not so good but this can be viewed as inflamatory.
The original poster clearly outlined what to do and I think that is the best course of action in matters such as these. In a free and secular society freedom of speach will offend some people. Boycott their products, write them a letter, whatever.
There is always outcry over these things, the christian fundamentalists are equaly outraged when their sensibilities are hurt. Too bad I say. Sinead O'conner ripping up a picture of the pope is a classic.
2. I can recall a time when the KKK came to my city to protest, my city has a high Jewish population. They were obviously angred at the KKK for their hatred. They started a riot and people got beat, on both sides as a matter of fact.
3. What does a teacher at school do when her students say inappropreate things? She immediately gives them a warning.
I hope I have shown you my point.
