free speech > any religion and/or their beliefs.

 

Well, I wasn’t exactly saying that. What I was trying to say was that free speech is of higher importance than obeying veiled death threats. If the muslim groups had just organized a boycot and protested outside the building, that would have been fine. As a matter of fact, it would have been an example of free speech. Any group has the right to be offended and voice its disapproval, but the line is crossed when violence is threatened. By giving into these threats, Comedy Central has *edited*ed of the two people responsible for getting their network into the public’s eye, offended their millions of fans, and assured that extremist muslim groups will continue to harass them. After all, when you give in to an extremist group once, they will figure you hve no courage and come back with greater demands.
