Jokes? Yeah. 9/11 was a JOKE where thousands of people died.
Bin Laden was a JOKE who killed thousands of people.
Iraqi 'liberation' was a JOKE that costed thousands of lives of American soldiers and HUNDREDS of thousands of Iraqi CIVILIANS. (and almost bankrupted USA)
Because of jokes like this 95% (it's an exaggeration) of non-muslims see ALL the muslims as terrorists and have prejudice against them.
If the said picture wasn't Bin Laden or 9/11 but something that mocks obesity in USA or handegg-not-football, (or iNcontroL's buffness getting mixed with health problems etc.) picture, we'd see who can't handle jokes.
When making the jokes: 'cmon dude it's just a joke'
When you're joked about: 'holy shit lets invade their country'
Get some standard.
TL;DR: Racism might be the wrong word to choose there, but these are sensitive matters and shouldn't be joked about.

I actually can enjoy jokes about nazis were even more died. Also, I'm not American, and I do find Incontrols buffnes (wich has been in a cheerful in this thread already) funny. Even if I didn't find it funny, I wouldn't get upset about it.
And no, most people don't want to invade countries after a joke. However, some people can't handle a joke and burn down embassies and kill innocent people because of it, You are right, racism is not the right word to use, and if you can't handle a joke about a sensitive matter, that is your problem.
