Look, pretending that you've examined the dictionary definition of sarcasm and irony really shows that you don't get Pats jabs AT ALL. Heres the joke he was making:

He hopes his insults "harms your physical and mental well-being so har that you'll have to lie down for 10 minutes before you can even pray"

Clearly this is a JOKE, he knows full well that no matter what anyone says to anyone ever, certainly not in a public debate, can actually harm people like that. The joke is targeted at people who claims that actual harm has come to them, simply because their beliefs were insulted. IE muslims who just cannot live in a world were people draw their precious prophet, so they have to threaten and scream at everyone, muslim and infidel, until they stop the drawing and apologize for the "crime", and even then they are not satisfied and take the liberty of threatening liberal democratic countries with "revenge".

If you are a certain kind of jihadist, murder and offensive cartoons seems to be reasonable tit-for-tat to you. it is this concept that Pat is mocking with his joke. Cleary he knows, like everybody else , that you cannot be "physically harmed" by an offending joke or insult, he sarcastically pretends to have this awesome superpower that he can harm people with.

It actually reminds me of a great old monty python sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fNvi6xG-5Y
