So, if Christians started lopping off heads and burning cars, then maybe you'd stop mocking our God?

"To reiterate, as satirists, we believe that it is our First Amendment right to poke fun at any and all people, groups, organizations and religions and we will continue to defend that right. Our goal is to make people laugh and perhaps, if we're lucky, even make them think in the process."

Except terrorists. And notice I didn't say muslims because the network didn't give in to muslims. They gave into terrorists because they were afraid of what terrorists might do in response to the show. They are cowards. Good letter on your part. Is ent one as well. I also hope South Park goes independent and broadcasts on the internet.

This decision was based solely on concern for public safety in light of recent world events.

So, if Christians riot and kill a few humans each time Christian images are portrayed in an inappropriate way, Comedy Central will stop airing this stuff?

I don't think so! Public Safety my a$$. They are cowards and approve of censorship when it pleases them.

Huh? Why is Comedy Central citing the 1st Amendment? Comedy Central didn't violate the 1st Amendment.

(Comedy Central's belief in the First Amendment has not wavered...)

...we just won't bother for the right to retain it.

I guess all Christians have to do to stop networks and Hollywood from disrespecting us is to start killing a few anti-Christian bigots in the entertainment field. Oops, we real Christians don't do that!

It seems caving to violence is the best way to promote violence in the future.

That's irrelevant here.

Oh...my...god...

The Terrorists are winning. Despite all our military action, we're getting our asses kicked by a bunch of 3rd world thugs.

If we just STOOD UP TO THESE PEOPLE they'd have to back off.

This is just completely unreal...

I know...that is why I was perplexed as to their statement (not yours).

... The power of freedom of speech and expression ... use that power in a responsible way. ... deadly reaction to the publication of the Danish cartoons, ... not to air the image of Muhammad ...

So the little weasels stick their finger in the eye of a group that is unlikely to respond effectively, if at all.

Things like this remind me why I quit watching television 6 years ago.

The gutless little weasels!!

I will admit that with the gutting of the Patriot Act and the politically correct airport screening system we have where everybody except potentially terrorists gets searched, it is not that far fetched to think some crazy Bin Laden sleeper cell we haven't found yet would come to life and go jihad on innocent people if Muhammed got on TV right now.

At least Comedy Central is being honest and saying they are quaking in their booties about terrorists.

"At least Comedy Central is being honest"

Why haven't all of you, and the media recieved the same LONG statement?

Is that honesty?

They only use their First Amendment right to satire to throw rocks at Christians, Catholics, Mormons, and people who can take it. But they fear the "religion of peace." They are cowards. They have no credibility. They attack people who they know won't fight back. They have no courage of conviction at "Cowardly Central".

If Christians torched their cars and threatened their sorry hides, they would fear us too. They neither fear us, nor respect us. Problem is, if we did those things we wouldn't be Christians. And they know it.

So let me get this straight..... Comedy Central believed Muslims would riot at the innocuous image of Mohammed "just standing there"?
And what Muslims? Those in the US?
Surely nobody in Muslim countries knows or cares about South Park.

CC and South Park just scammed everyone as an excuse to show Christ defecating on people during Holy Week.

I would call that pretty much a non-answer.

I know... irony.

Just so you all know I'm not BS'ing (and also to make sure I haven't been tricked), I will forward this email to someone who can read headers & such.
