I wonder if Christians took idolatry as serious as Muslims do, that Hollywood would steer clear of Christ as well. Just a thought.

Have a national "Dress up as Mohammed Day" on college campuses as a way to make a stand against radicalism.

The right used to (?) insist that Hollywood is Jewish... "a Jewish cabal."

Don't you think Jews are rather better aware of what Muslims are up to than are middle-America white-bread Christians, and have been aware rather longer?!

You all need to make up your mind.

Good thing Christians like myself understand that while people making fun of Jesus is hurtful to us, it is not our place to punish those who are making fun of him. In fact we understand that despite their attacks against Him, Jesus will still forgive them and welcome them into heaven if they will just follow him.

If Jesus can forgive these people, who am I to hold a grudge against them and not forgive?

Do you understand what this means ?
The Islamic extremists have been able to influence social media and what they can/cannot portray on the screen.

I didn't see right/left in this post at all...but what this group is starting to accomplish via their extremist reactions. That is a mark against freedom of speech that we have little control over anymore.

In the current, supercharged climate, it just isn’t worth endangering the safety of an entire production staff or network by pursuing a storyline that Muslim extremists might find offensive, media executives and writers tell Fox411.com.
Aasif Mandvi, a self-described “liberal Muslim” and the “senior Islamic correspondent” for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, said on air after the “South Park” threats that it would upset him to see the Prophet Muhammad depicted in a cartoon. But, he added: “Here’s what’s more upsetting. Someone, in the name of a faith that I believe in, threatening another person for doing it.”

There are many famous comedians who make fun of Islamic beliefs all the time. But then again, you're using Fox News as a source, so you obviously don't care too much about reality anyway.

Muslims don't care if you poke fun of the prophet, you just can't show an image of him.

You know,
