Oh, I don't know which one is the greater insult to Islam. But how about answering me which was the greater insult to Christianity?:
Piss Christ:
Or maybe John Lennon claiming that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus:
Or maybe the "Last Temptation of Christ" by Scorsese? That caused quite an uproar:
: The film attracted controversy not only in the United States, but also internationally due to the frontal nudity (especially from Jesus) in the crucifixion scenes, and the fact that Jesus had a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene

Protests against the movie from the religious community began before the film had even finished production. The studio was expecting a backlash due to the controversies revolving around any media treatment of Christ (see dramatic portrayals of Jesus Christ), but the protests accompanying Last Temptation were unprecedented. Major religious leaders in the United States blasted the film in fiery sermons, and condemned its subject matter as pornographic.
On October 22, 1988, a French catholic fundamentalist group launched molotov cocktails inside the Parisian saint Michel movie theater to protest against the film projection. This terrorist attack injured thirteen people; four of them were severely burned.
