Just wait - when Islam is going real strong here there will be demands that images of eagles and presidents on coinage be removed; and then there will be demands that statues in our memorials of leaders and soldiers be taken down, for such things are offensive to Islam.
Too many people have assumed that there is such a thing as freedom from being offended. Too many people have assumed that there is such a thing as freedom from religion, when what there is is freedom OF religion. If these folks have their way they will also demand a freedom FROM speech, instead of freedom OF speech.

What really ticks me off about all this PC crap is they don't want anyone to be offended by religious items or beliefs, playground games that may hurt one's self esteem, etc., ad nauseum. So we grow up not ever having our feelings hurt, or offended or or or and are as weak as kittens when adversity comes our way? We cannot be protected from hurt. That's what helps our character to grow, not everything being nicey nicey and going our way. What's with these liberals anyway? Life is hard. Deal with it.
