It's an emotionally charged topic for both sides. While the pork comment may be found offensive by 'some' Muslim people, the comment was directed at Osama not all Muslim people.

My best friend is Egyptian and a devout Muslim and I joke about slipping powdered pork into his protein shakes all the time and I declare jihad on him before we spar in MMA and he laughs afterwards because he knows I mean him no personal malice and he sees it for what it is.

It was not an attack on Islam, it was a comment meant to show Osama as much disrespect as possible in an outrageous way, which might be normally crossing the line, but when someone orchestrates a terrorist attack which kills 3000 civilians I'm not sure they deserve to be sheltered from 'intolerant comments'

My suggestion is since the comment was not meant to offend you personally, choose not get offended. Why feel insulted when no insult was intended?

*EDIT* Damn in the time I took to write this it looks like you two made up...
