    What a bunch of bullshit. This is the first step to an Islamic state- obeying their @#$% rules.
    Stranger, observe our laws! We have both swords and shovels and we doubt that anyone would miss you.

    The leader of Germany's Islamic Council welcomed the move, saying a depiction of Mohammed with a severed head "could certainly offend Muslims."
    This is the most unsettling part of the article. Instead of permitting the show to go on under the auspice of freedom of expression, they say "Thanks infidels, it is far preferable for you to censor yourselves than have us do it."

    It scares me that the world is willing to bow down to depriving themselves of freedom of speech, expression, art, et al simply because it will make a violent religion more violent.

    This is what bothers me the most about the world-wide reaction to Muslim atrocities and outrageous behavior.

    The rest of the world is falling all over itself to coddle this extremist dominated faction of the world, when what they really deserve is constant derision until the supposed "moderates" wrest away control of their religion and culture.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!
