Is it ok to publish highly offensive illustrations and captions against a group?

Specifically, I’m talking about pictures or cartoons of Jesus or Mohammad in what would be interpreted as a disgraceful position.

I believe the freedom of speech is fundamentally important, and I think provoking thought and discussion, even argument and debate, is important. However, I feel like some goes to far and is borderline bullying behavior.

Is it ok to purposely make a group feel like outsiders and unaccepted? Is this different than schoolyard teasing and pushing around?
