I wrote "Anybody care to place a bet on how many of those episodes will air before it gets yanked for being offensive to Muslims? I’m astounded they’re even filming the show, and I hope I’m wrong about what the reaction will be." After the cartoon riots and the flap about a very mild statement by the Pope, and the dhimmi outlook that seems to be spreading in the name of "islamophobia" I expected the show to be canceled post-haste. Personally, I hope it stays on. No religion should be free of parody. The title of this post was intended to indicate a roundup of weird crap I stumbled across on the internet, that's all. As for the Fox News sociology - please! Fox is no more entrenched in it's conservative perspective than CNN, MSNBC, and the rest are in their liberal views. I notice you link to Media Matters, and their point of view is clear. Do you also read Honest Reporting and Media Research Center for balance? If you don't, you're not getting the full story on the MSM. BlueBerry, you misinterpreted what I wrote about the show – I don’t disapprove of it.

If you don’t TALK, all we get is REGIONALISM & cultural divides.

Americans expect EVERYONE to act the way Americans do… that’s why you’re screwed.

A group of youth of the People’s Party of Denmark had a mohammad drawing contest while at camp this past summer. They apparently spent some time mocking mohammad. Danish TV aired the amateur video.
