I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing how tricking an orthodox jew into eating pork is the same as drawing a picture of Mohammed as a means of standing up for free expression. If this had sprung up out of nothing, I'd agree that the people behind it were just being assholes for the sake of being assholes, but this arose in response to a specific incident.
Also, I'm aware that a lot of people jumping on this are islamaphobes and racists, and that some of the pictures are deliberately meant to insult (though the founder of the page specifically asked that the page not be used as an excuse for hate speech). Just because the page is attracting a lot of assholes, doesn't mean that agreeing with the idea behind it makes you one.
