Jokes shouldn't stop because they offend someone.
You should be allowed (both legally and morally) to make crude fun of leaders and politicians, including the leader of your country and leaders of companies, parties and NGOs.
You should be allowed (both legally and morally) to make crude fun of people's habits, including the current religious practices of your country or other peoples.
These are important core freedoms to have - but these already offend some people SO much, up to and including murder, that the other sensitive topics (racism,sexism,etc) pale in comparison.
