"They would [take a critical look at the life of Mohammed], if they thought it'd win the November sweeps. (By the way, you forgot pedophile.)"

I doubt it. Political correctness would trump any sweeps strategy. For the mainstream media, Christianity remains the only religion which can be criticized, distorted, and condemned.

It sounds like you think these people side with political correctness due to some sort of strong (even 'moral') convictions they hold dear. On the contrary, I think their politics are shaped completely by their ability to make a buck. So, if they thought a no-holds-barred look at the life of Mohammed would be good for their bottom line, they'd rush to air it.

Unfortunately, the anticipated backlash from such a move prevents that from being a smart business decision today. Christianity is an easy target; we know we're right, no matter what the entertainment world does. Rather than protest, most of us are content to ignore them. God's will be done, in spite of their lame attempts to derail Him.
