What in the United States ISN'T a terrorist target? Don't blame Fox for the Islamofacists. And besides, I would say there are other higher priority targets for terrorists other than shopping malls. Like uh, the White House, Pentagon, National landmarks. They will hit anything they feel they have an easy opportunity to.

Shouldn't the Muslims be apologizing to us?

For apologizing. I don't see that they did anything wrong. I'm sick of people being pressured to apologize because someone or some group doesn't have a sense of humor.

That used to be a common figure of speech, to refer to some place or other as the "mecca" (no capital M) of this or that particular interest group.

"The hajj, a pilgrimage Muslims take to the holy city of Mecca," the promo said. "Members of Charlotte's elite make a similar pilgrimage to the corporate altar of brand-name merchandise -- SouthPark mall, where believers gather to be among their kind," said a voice-over on the spot, which then showed the mall and the word "Mecca." IMHO, if Fox owed anyone an apology, it should have gone to the Mall, for comparing it to a place where an extreme form of gender and religious apartheid is practiced in the name of a cult like ideology, and where ones gender or religion alone may get one murdered.

Let's see ... Thousands make a long, arduous journey during which some are trampled underfoot to visit a rock which may have come from space.
Nope, no target for satire here.

That used to be a common figure of speech A Google search for "shopping mecca" returns 35,700 results. Looks like it is still a common figure of speech.

To: Bigturbowski; rockabyebaby
There have always been plenty of satirical skits about Christian ministers and or Catholic bishops and priests in their everyday life, and no television company has ever apologized for those little numbers.
This is the reason I and others are more than a little pissed off at any entity holding their ankles for Muslims, when a satire on their religious activities takes place on.
Any religion that gets its knickers in a bunch over a little satire should wonder about the root cause of their mental constipation.
My favorite maxim: Sacred cows make great hamburger.

It's all part of the plan -- #7 on this list:

Radical Islam's 'plan' to take over America
7. Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

IMHO, if Fox owed anyone an apology, it should have gone to the Mall I agree. Based on the details in the article, it only takes 10 complaints to compel an apology. If anyone has a bit of free time today...
