And therein lies the rub: would you subsequently gun someone down because they made photos of your loved ones which you find distasteful?

Almost nobody would.

I could take a photo some someone's male child, photoshop it so he is kissinganother male. That would be enough for some people to murder me.

You can argue that only a tiny number of people would murder me, but then it's only a tiny minority of Muslims who consider murder when they hear of Muhummed cartoons.

That's exactly the point. Most (all?) reasonable people would not kill you for that. The minority who would need help.
