Also, again, this once again shows that people just don't understand what satire is.

It's an odd comparison. The Book of Mormon takes jabs at the LDS, but ultimately the Mormon characters are decent and sympathetic guys. It's not really a spiteful condemnation of their religion. A better comparison would be Scientology and the Going Clear movie.

What were WMDs in Iraq but pink elephants?

I don't see any reason to think that Muslim-Americans would make worse leaders than fundamentalist Christian Americans. I'd pick Kieth Ellison to be president over Ted Cruz in a heartbeat.

Again, it's the whole picking on the powerful vs. powerless thing. In this country Christians have most of the power and Muslims have virtually none.

Christians are made fun of on a regular basis and do not go homicidal rampage. Fat people are mocked constantly and yet they don't go on killing sprees either. Maybe because that would be too close to exercise. Doc43 mentioned "The Book of Mormon". I haven't heard of any Mormons shooting up Broadway. I don't see any Jews shooting up Nazi Rallies.

Religious nutcases do not get a veto right on free speech. Quite frankly I am appalled by the sentiments displayed in this thread. Yes, the events purpose was to provoke, mock and ridicule. Especially to mock the notion that drawing a religious figure is a capital offense. SO ****ING WHAT???

Christians prefer to drone the backyard bbqs of people who make scary YouTube videos. Gunmen are so uncouth.

Probably, didn't watch the video but seen all his specials and he recycles material hard.

I laughed at a few Muslim comedy sets over the years inc stuff by Doug Stanhope and I've also laughed at racist jokes from Louie CK and even rape jokes by Anthony Jezelnik. Incidentally Stewart Lee has the best Muslim joke, perhaps ever.

Not sure what your point is given I've defended satire, which the best comedy is, in this thread.

You haven't even made an argument in the thread. You're just arglebargling and having an emotional fit because someone criticized some bigots.

"Bigots are the same as rape victims" would be a terrible argument no matter who made it.

bigots are the same as rape victims when they're the victim of a terrible crime. Does it matter if someone is or is not a bigot when they are raped? Planting your flag here is really ****ing stupid and says a lot of bad things about you.

True Jews, true Muslims and true Christians follow a noble path.

Here is the irony of it all. When it comes to insulting you the whole notion of let's be adults and not douchebags to others is thrown out the window.

When flywf goes on a filth spewing rampage, the lets be nice to people concept is thrown out the window also.

And my point is that they are not doing that. This isnt about making fun of religious dogma.

If Muslims suddenly all decided that drawing Muhammed is fine they wouldn't move on to drawing Catholics as vampires drinking blood.
