Will Muslims insist it's perfectly safe to sell the season 14 box sets containing the episodes featuring Islam's prophet, Muhammad?
How are episodes featuring prophet Muhammad a safety concern? Why would anyone think that?
I hope Muslims, to combat 'Islamophobia' and allay fears Islam is anathema to societal norms, demand Viacom/Comedy Central include every episode, uncensored, from season 14 in their box sets.
If not, and Muslims agree with Viacom's decision, this is an example of Muslims tacitly supporting the actions of the 'tiny minority' of extremists and benefiting from their presence.
The episodes are also missing from all editions other than the US box set released in April. The reason? They were deemed unsafe to broadcast.
In a bizarre sub-plot in the two-part episode, Cruise also wrangles the prophet Muhammad into his scheme, secretly motivated by a desire to harness the prophet's "goo", which grants immunity to ridicule. Throughout, Muhammad is dressed in a bear suit, an ironic nod to the prohibition on showing images of Islam’s founding father.
