I posted last night on this thread that I didn't believe there was any way in hell that Stone and Parker would self-center the image, even for a joke.
It would have made them as pussified and hypocritical as everybody they were making fun of in the episode. Nobody puts that much effort into mocking their own hypocrisy.
I think that they were told, post-Mohammed-cartoon riots, that Comedy Central would no longer air images of Mohammed. They built the whole episode around the censorship they were told would come (while taking side shots at the lame White House press corps, the lame jokes on Family Guy.)
The ultimate point was, you can show Jesus shitting on the President and the American flag, but you can't show a nice Mohammed handing The Family Guy a salmon helmet. The last scene was the key to illustrating how, no matter what "cultural sensitivity" type excuses Comedy Central offered, the fact is that they backed down in the face of terrorism.
The islametards threatened to get violent, and western media (not just Comedy Central) tucked their tails between their legs and begged to be spared.
Pussies.
Those guys are hitting a whole new level. They're the only guys in media who have the courage to take on this issue.
