Satire, in any form, is not childish. Throwing a temper tantrum because you don't agree with what's being said is. Satire is extremely effective at exposing idiocy and unethical behavior in all walks of life.
Temper tantrums in response isn't just for so called radicals. Saudi Arabia today carried out the first 50 lashes of Raef Badawi; the same Saudi Arabia that some very recently pointed to as an example of peaceful muslims because they released a statement condemning the recent murders in Paris.
Quote:In September, a Saudi court upheld a sentence of 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes for Badawi, and he is expected to have 20 weekly whipping sessions until his punishment is complete.
Quote:Badawi is the co-founder of the Saudi Liberal Network along with women’s rights campaigner Suad al-Shammari, who was arrested last October and also accused of “insulting Islam.”

Seems to me there is a very significant portion of the Muslim World that ins't being taught that the prophet is above reproach.
