Update to this piece (10/04/2010)
-- The Muslim Revolution org in NYC removed the posting referenced below due to grassroots pressure.
-- YouTube removed the interview with Parker and Stone due to Muslim pressure.
------------------------------
Go read it for your self.
First -- Comedy Central censored the creators of South Park and wouldn't let them portray the prophet Mohammed in a bear suit due to death threats from Muslims (see website).
Read the threats from the Muslims (and justification of their threats) here on their blog -- which is allowed by free speech, by the way: http://revolutionmuslim.blogspot.com/
Then, if that weren't bad enough, in this interview, creators of South Park (Matt Stone and Trey Parker) talk about the hypocricisy of the media -- saying "It's open season on Jesus" you can say anything you want about him, but you can't make fun of the Muslims because you're afraid of them blowing you up." They go on to talk about how they are disappointed in Comedy Central.
They make the point very clearly -- Comedy Central is a business and has the right to censor their show all it wants -- as a business. But Comedy Central does not have free speech because they are getting threats for mentioning or even portraying Mohammed.
In this blog/threat the Muslims say defending the Muslim faith and killing those who insult Mohammed is not negotiable.
Free speech is not negotiable.
As much as we don't want to admit it, this is the beginning of a battle for basic rights. And someone must lose this fight.

In Europe it is already gone, what little they had anyway.
