Hypocrites

Episode 201 of South Park,  which continued a story line involving the Prophet Muhammad, was censored with audio bleeps and image blocks reading “CENSORED” after a the New York Muslim group,  Revolution Muslim, warned the show’s creators they could face violence for depicting that holy Islamic prophet.  Would the creators have done the same thing had a Christian group threatened them for their depictions of Jesus? The answer is no. They know Christians may complain, but that they are basically harmless and thus are subject to ridicule without fear of them actually causing harm. So much for Hollywood's claim of freedom of expression. They will attack anyone who does not fight back, but when threatened by someone they think may actually harm them, they run.
