Comedy Central Intimidated by Islam?

Comedy Central, home to political incorrectness, seems to have caved into the Islamic pressure by censoring an image of Muhammed on South Park. John Hawkins has a good point:

I don't believe in gratuitously offending members of any of the world's great religions, including Islam, but there comes a time when you've got to stand up and refuse to be intimidated into silence.

If we don't have the guts to post these cartoons here in the United States because we're afraid of extremist Muslims, how can we ask moderate Muslims living in the midst of these radical Islamists to stand up to them on other issues?

Just the fact that we now have to censor cartoons because we are afraid of deaths in the street is really quite remarkable. In some small ways, extremist Muslims seem to be winning this war...
