Do you at least see the point I was trying to make?

Sort of.

I don't see it as a valid comparison though - when whatabouting why not invoke another racial caricature, rather than one that mocks a religion?

Because for the 857th time, I wasn't commenting on cartoons. I'd already said that with hindsight I was wrong about the hebdo cartoons at the time, and my first post in this thread gives a comment on the guardian cartoons. I was pointing out how the reactions of the wider public are in complete contrast with each other.

There was almost euphoric glee at the time of Denmark/Hebdo, and yet within an instant, these cartoons were (rightly) accused of using AS imagery.

Because as much as Dianne Abbott got steamrolled for her clumsy, thoughtless delivery, she was right in saying that there is a hierarchy of racism, some forms are seen as much more acceptable to condone than others, anti-black racism is accepted again, anti-Asian racism is more than acceptable, it’s officially condoned by the British government, antisemitism is rightfully held in contempt, it’s just plainly clear that other forms of racism aren’t held to equal levels of contempt

But also for the "857th time", the two examples aren't comparable, outside of your shifting moral views regarding them.

The AS imagery in question would be better compared to one of these tabloid doodlings:
