Censorship Over Some People's God/whathaveyou?

[maphdet]

I just thought that it was fucked up that the network actually censored what the creators gave to them. All over what? A bunch of fear?
WTF?

The terrorists have won.
Again.
Without even trying.

Comedy Central shit their drawers over a non-threat. They are a bunch of pussies.

If I read the article right, they were pussies in 2006—that's when the censorship took place.

Most recently, they showed Mohammed in a bear costume and some NY Muslims issued a veiled threat.

So it seems their testicles DID descend a bit since then.

I laughed when I read the way they worded the threat.

"Look, I'm not saying we'll kill you.  But we might."

I read it more as "We can't trust the members of our religion to be rational".

Well, if it comes down to it, can we?

Fuck no.  You bastards are nuts.

So in other words, these people are openly admitting that Islam is in fact nothing more than a bunch of Arabian dudes with guns waiting for an excuse to murder someone? I bet Glenn Beck has already done a story on 'em.

No,  they are admitting that some Muslims are violent crazy fuckers, same as any religion, and that what South Park did is likely to provoke those violent crazy fuckers.  They themselves are a part of Islam and are pretty clearly denying that they are Arabian dudes with guns looking for an excuse to murder someone.

I think if the censoring was intentional it would be excellent satire.
