so what?  nobody goes into the ghetto and screams the N word for fear of death either.  You can offend people, you just have to understand that people are gonna be pissed off and might do something to you.  They will be put in jail for violent action, your speech will not.  It is still legallly protected speech.  comedy central didn't have to censor it, that was their decision.

You have to be joking

Just a picture, not a word derogatory word.

Why would a picture, not a caricature, a plain old picture warrent death

Please common that is not reasonable  

And why did they censor it? 

why the hell would i be joking.  Can you not see how a picture can be just as offensive if not more offensive than a word?  You are trying to legislate sensitivity, and you are opening a shit box if you do that. 

Comedy Central censored it because they were scared, they had every legal right to leave it as it was.  They decided not to by themselves, you can't put people in jail over crimes that haven't happened yet.  the people who are making the mosque damn well know they aren't that safe either, that is the decision they have to make, not us.  I would be shocked if violence doesn't go down at some point.  They have every legal right to put it there, just like comedy central has every right to show muhammad, and you have the right to go scream the N word in the ghetto.  All 3 of them are insensitive and each to a certain extent being an asshole on purpose, but that is the right of the people as it should be.
