To paraphrase Patrick Henry: I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty to draw Mohammad in a bear suit or give me death! [slog.] UPDATE: This should go without saying, but nothing ever really does. The whole point of this is not to offend Muslims, it’s to offend censors. There are no sacred cows in comedy (see The Aristocrats for more on this). If you are offended by something on television, change the channel, close your eyes, walk away. Do not send death threats to the show’s creators. That last part really ought to go without saying, but, as I mentioned above, nothing ever really does. This.  Also, this will not end well.  And with good cause - this scourge should be eradicated.  You just can’t go around threatening to kill everyone who believes something different to you. Yeah, pretty much. If it’s not pulling the trigger on someone’s head or hurting their potential to continue their (presumably) useful and positive lives then get over it. There are worse things in this world to act upon. And threatening to hurt or kill never helps. Agreed and seconded. This craziness about killing us if we write, draw, sing, or think something different than you has to stop.
