Great minds think alike. I am not a happy camper.

I don't know if you're a fan of South Park, but that show ran up (and lost) against Comedy Central censors, when they attempted to depict Mohammed in this week's episode.

My mistake - I had two browser windows open, and posted my comment on the wrong blog. It's still early in the morning in Chicago.

That this could happen on Comedy Central - one of the more resilient bastions of Free Speech in America - is chilling news indeed. That it affected *South Park* is terrifying. Insanity wins: And I think we can expect more idiocy of this sort in the future.

Of course, as Muslim demographics continue their bullish trajectory, we have no reason to assume this sort of thing won't become much worse later on.

And what exactly is bullish about Muslim demographics?
Muslim fertility rates are falling and may be expected to converge with those of the West by mid century.

Yes, but "demographic momentum" suggests that the Muslim share of world population would surge for the next few decades at the least.

Didn't they already show Mohammed in the 'Super Friends' episode?
