Do Greek Cypriots blow themselves up because Turks occupy half of Cyprus?

China brutally occupies Tibet, are Tibetans blowing themselves up?

When will you stop ignoring the elephant in the room?

But the majority of far leftists do. And yes, far leftists and radical muslims do have that trait in common. Not only a hatred of Israel but also a hatred of America.

You have a point.. But I far leftists are becoming more common.

exactly what I meant.. thanks!
you appear to get a lot of your news from a few uninformed people on this board. I'd recommend against that because it makes you a part of the uninformed.
How were these people radical by doing something the Constitution allows? I voted last year. Does that make me a wild and crazy guy? Once again, looking very foolish with the ignorance.

Thanks for that

I was pretty sure it wasn't them and am very disappointed that Comedy Central caved in. Probably has something to do with that joke john stewart and his band of merry cowards.

That they cave only for muslims speaks volumes..

Perhaps other groups will learn, and everyone will start making death threats if they want something done?

Setting a bad example.

I'm not a committed viewer to the show (although I do think it's funny), so I wouldn't know.
They touched on the subject during the "Cartoon Wars" episodes, where the boys found the Family Guy writing staff and discovered the trick to how their episodes are written.
In goes like this: it was sparked by the Family Guy showing an image of Mohammed, and Comedy Central censoring the image. The town wanted to "bury their heads in the sand" (literally) because the Muslims were threatening Jihad on the town if they showed the image. Cartman wanted to convince the writers to pull the episode (but not because he cared about the Muslims feelings, he just hated Family Guy and wanted it off the air). The rest of the town was afraid of offending the Muslims. Only Kyle thought Mohammed should be shown as-is "If you give in to terrorism, you're allowing it to work. If you don't show Mohammed, you show what is okay to censor and what isn't. Either it's all okay or none of it is."

Yeah, I'm a fan.

I'm also surprised it took this long to come back to this. I really, really hope nothing bad happens to Trey or Matt.

Chatteress, this is really not about making fun of religion. On the face of it, I would agree with you that it is in poor taste to poke fun at believers. But what is at issue here is FREEDOM and INTIMIDATION. Muslims will kill you if you disagree with them. That should not be allowed, period. Every media outlet should start a campaign of openly allowing their programs to make fun of Islam for the sole purpose of showing Muslims in our country that this intimidation crap will not be tolerated. Instead, everyone is rolling over, EVERYONE. Muslims grow bolder and bolder, and why shouldn't they, when they see that their threats work?
Matt and Trey didn't censor the image, Comedy Central did.

The blame is all on comedy central. They ruined what would have been one of the best episodes ever and should be held accountable for it. People need to offend the muslims even more now, just for retribution. They have never had a problem making fun of any other cult.
