Since this show has such incredibly HUGE ratings (I’ve never watched it), these guys can start making demands. I don’t know what their contract says, but they need to talk with their agents and INSIST they have more creative license over the editing process, or.. BYE BYE, they should refuse to renew their contract if not modified to their liking.

The producers had hoped to capture a large segment of the muslim audience.

Beard envy.

“And he said, ‘well, those editors are probably doing that. They just think, you know, maybe it might offend some of the Muslims, you know.”

Yet, the editors have no problem offending Christians.

I know that they can change their TV channel, so this really isn’t an issue.

What I want is a rock solid rationale for the mayor using Jesus’ name at the town council meeting when they can’t change the channel.

My answer is free exercise. What’s yours?

Why would someone not honor the Creator of the universe to appease a brutal religion that was made up by one guy (in a cave, I believe) vs. the risen Savior that had hundreds of eyewitnesses who saw Him after he died and came back to life?

A&Es problem is they cant control ‘em because the Robertsons show is a run away cable hit, they cant bump em off their channel because they’d be picked up in an instant by another channel. So A&Es greed has got em tied in knots.....thats what they get.

I watched last nights show this morning “Jesus” wasn't bleeped, so that must all have happened when they were negotiating their new contract.

“So I notice now they are … leaving it in there, but you got to remember, spiritual warfare,” Robertson said. “I mean you have people with no moral compass, it ain’t there.”

Good man.

Totally retarded (and unAmerican behavior on their part).
Retarded? unAmerican? Sounds like you need to lie down for a while.

Duck Dynasty - A&E“So I said, why would you cut out Jesus name?” Robertson continued. “And he said, ‘well, those editors are probably doing that. They just think, you know, maybe it might offend some of the Muslims, you know.”

When conservatives asked Hollywood to cut back on sexually explicit material during times kids might watch TV - they told us if we didn't like something to to switch the channel or turn the TV off. If Muslims are offended, they need to switch the channel or turn the TV off...

They need a “Duck Dynasty” and “Swamp People” crossover extravaganza.

Islam is a form of government, not a religion.

Jefferson set up a test for what’s a religion, and what’s not:

“It neither breaks my back, nor picks my pocket what another man believes.”

This was based on 500 years of European history where the big religious institutions had been failing that test for centuries.

Islam demands conversion, does not permit leaving the religion, and levels a tax on non-believers.

It’s a system of government, and it doesn’t enjoy the benefits of the 1st Amendment.

Treat mosques like you would safehouses, and let’s clean out the country first.

Take care.

So “Jesus Name” is the only thing on A&E that offends Muslims?

Yeah - praying in Jesus's name offends Muslims because it means were asking Jesus - a Jew - to intercede... technically - intercession. Muslims want to believe we're really praying to Allah.. and just don't understand that... We don't pray to Allah... and saying 'in Jesus's name" makes that perfectly clear.
