In an interview with Sports Spectrum magazine Willie & Phil Robertson, stars of the top-rated cable television show Duck Dynasty, discuss fake bleeps, and the A&E networks editing out when they pray ‘in Jesus’ name.’
When the producers of Duck Dynasty asked the stars to stop saying “in Jesus’ name” during prayers because it might offend Muslims, Phil Robertson stood his ground and gave an eye-opening response.
“So they would just have me saying, ‘Thank you Lord for the food, thank you for loving us. Amen.’ So I said, ‘Why would you cut out ‘In Jesus’ name?’ They said, ‘Well those editors are probably doing that. They just think that they don’t want to offend some of the Muslims or something.’”
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.”
I said, let’s see now…” Robertson went on, “I said, ‘what year is it?’” And the editor finally answered, “2012″ (the time the conversation took place, apparently).
Robertson then said, “2012 A.D. Anno Domini. The year of our Lord. I said, ‘you Hollywood cats are counting time from Jesus, just like I am. I would think that of all the people who walked the planet Earth, if we’ve all decided in America here to count time by just one of ‘em, Jesus of Galilee, I just don’t think it would hurt to throw his name in there from time to time.”
Robertson said that the producers have left the name “Jesus” in the show since that conversation
“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.”
Robertson also discussed the issue of “fake bleeps” earlier on in the interview with Sports Spectrum, a Christian sports publication.
Duck-Dynasty-Cast“They inserted fake bleeps … like somebody had used profanity, but no one had used profanity,” Robertson said. “I ask those guys that produce the show … ‘What’s the point of the fake bleeps?’”
“Of course these people probably thought that there was some profanity going on which there was zero,” Robertson continued. “If we’re not using profanity, why make it look like we’re using profanity? What is the point? Why don’t you just run it and say what we say?”
“Duck Dynasty” has been a mega-hit for A&E, drawing 11.8 million viewers for the Season 4 premiere.
I know!
The Muslims can change the channel if they are offended! just like I do with 97% of the stuff on TV.
Way to go Phil.....
Anyone know how many Muzzies actually watch Duck Dynasty?
Since it IS the Religion of Pieces (and DD guys like to blow stuff up), I would expect a good many to watch.
Then again, there are no Human Beheadings...
That Muslims would be offended by a group of people praying in ANY religion proves Muslims have absolutely no business whatsoever living in a civilized free society.
There, I fixed it.
So what difference would it make, since Muslims cannot shoot and eat a duck because if it’s not killed by a halal method then the meat is haram and shooting it is not halal?
So “Jesus Name” is the only thing on A&E that offends Muslims?
It wuz some show about four heavy duty guyz taking the head man's boat out to go fishing, but they forgot to put in the drain plugs and sunk it. (It was way overloaded anyway.)
Did they just pull the sukka out of the water (there were four hulking ones of them)? NO. The retards left it there and went to the bossman's crib to confess and get him to help drag it out of the boat launch.
Totally retarded (and unAmerican behavior on their part).
How many mudslimes duck hunt?
“Anyone know how many Muzzies actually watch Duck Dynasty?”
Not near as many as would probably watch “Goat Dynasty.”
Thanks, I’ll be here all week.
Yep, there goes the redneck muslim demographic.
Won’t be trying the veal, thanks for asking...
No Muslims, but some atheists who want keep people from using the name of Jesus except in vain.
If that’s how he actually said it he was a lot more diplomatic than I would have been and they would have needed to “BLEEP” muslims out......... of every show.
Knowing rednecks, I bet my version is more factual.
Exactly! Why are we catering to their intolerance?
Hockey Pucks then?
I have a feeling in this case, Muslims were a convenient political excuse that could be used to score “cultural awareness” points and the real issue is that Hollywood, academia and other such intellectuals, including those on important political positions, cannot tolerate Christians acting like Christians in public in any capacity. I mean, even CAIR hasn’t yet started a protest against DD as far as I can tell.
