Either it’s all okay, or none of it is! – Part III

Well, as it turns out, the genius executives at Comedy Central censored Muhammad after having aired it before on the same show. That’s right! On July 4th, 2001, a South Park episode entitled “Super Best Friends” included Muhammad as part of a superhero-like group of representatives from every major religion not only was he aired, but Muhammad had a decently large role.

So, just to recap:

-2001: “Super Best Friends” airs, nothing happens. Later that year, the greatest single attack on the United States is committed, and the country begins its War on Terrorism. (the two are not linked)
-2005: A Danish newspaper prints cartoons featuring images of Muhammad. This leads to riots and  violent retalliation.

-2006: Comedy Central refuses to air an image of Muhammad on their network in the name of “public safety.”

In case anyone is unclear, this is exactly what terrorism is supposed to do, use the fear of violent retaliation to cause a population to bow to the wishes of a few radicals.

Terrorists: 1

American civilians with power: 0
