| Didn't see the episode, but heard it was funny.
Justin, maybe you would feel better if Christians start rioting and offing TV executives? |

| I don't have a problem with it but do agree that if this were the symbol of any other religion there would be more outrage.

Islam still has a long way to go in this regard. If they are a religion of peace, it's long past time to put up or shut up. | |

We just have media that is willing to cover for them and blame everything that they do on Bush. They hide behind the "religion of peace" banner in order for the radicals to commit their acts of terror.
Did you guys know that Islamic families are having 8.1 kids per couple in Europe. All othe races in Europe have 1.3 kids per couple. Islam will be 1/3 of the population in Europe by 2050.
The numbers are not quite as bad here in America but the same trend has begun.

| The only people who betched about this were Fox people, of course (O'Reilly named Larry David the pinhead of the week for it and called it "disgusting.")
Look, first, you have to recognize that its not about a religion so much as it is about all these people seeing Jesus in their toast and what not. It had nothing to do with Christianity, per se.
Second, you have to put this in context. If the religion is in the minority in the country and is the focal point for criticism and being mocked, then yes, making them the subject would be more likely to get a reaction. But making fun of mainstream folks, it just isn't as political, under the circumstances.
You want to argue that the threshold for mockery ought to be the same? Well, I won't debate that. But reality is that with regard to making fun of religious people, the two are simply not on equal footing at this point in time.
