Cowering before Muhammad to mock Christ

Cowering before Muhammad to mock Christ
June 03, 2010 |


Dear Dr. Henry
A few months ago, Comedy Central and their parent company Viacom acquiesced to death threats from militant factions of Islam and heavily censored one of their shows from depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad - an act that would be seen as blasphemous to the Muslim world.
It is now becoming clear that the network chiefs have even less respect for peaceful religions like Christianity. Just weeks after refusing to offend Muslims, Comedy Central is now at work advancing a "comedy" that would mock the faith of those who call Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior.
The show under production at Comedy Central is no laughing matter. It seeks to openly mock Jesus and essential Christian beliefs. This is nothing new for the tasteless cable channel, which has a history of depicting the Son of God in manners so disrespectful that I cannot, out of reverence for our Savior, show clips of them.
All of us can tolerate and even welcome discussion over religious differences. But when it comes to mocking the Person Christians believe was God in the flesh, the Savior of the world, under the guise of humor, we're compelled to speak out.

God bless you.

Sincerely,

Tony Perkins
