There is a difference between jokes and malice. The program in question is full of very negative images of Christians and how they are portrayed. There are Christians who make fun in Christians, but this isn't humor, it is intentionally insulting.

As for asking if such a show would be made about muslims was simply a question. I don't think it would be because there would be lawsuits like a blizzard because it would violate PC in a major way. If you think I'm wrong, just read the news. England had been pretty tough enforcing its PC speech codes against Christians and others. However, when complaints were filed against Muslims "dissing" homosexuals, they have backed off of enforcement of the law all of a sudden. That's in the news and really is happening.

Now I really don't want to get into an argument over hurting muslim's feelings. I see that as pointless since the blame will always cycle back to the Christians, as if the muslims are totally blameless since its founding by Mohammed. Sorry that just doesn't fly.

>: "Do you think they would make a show like this about Muslims?"Excuse me!I believe that we 'Christians' have been dis-ing Muslims for over a thousand years.To paraphrase Disraeli, "1,500 years of Christian love have made the Muslims nervous."What about Albert ' controversial new film, "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World"?Haven't you ever heard a Jew joking about other Jews?To not be able to laugh at oneself implies the lack of a sense of humor.  Rainbow
