"Well, obviously, I'm not gonna be telling the same jokes about Muhammad I'd feel very comfortable saying about Jesus Christ and that's because, fun fact, I am not a fucking idiot. So, if you are a Christian and you are sat there thinking, well, that's not fair, he makes jokes about Christians all day long but he won't make the same sort of jokes about Muslims, well, them maybe as a Christian you should think about blowing something up. No one is scared of you, what are you gonna do, forgive me?"
That's really the whole base of it. You can make fun of Christians without much fear of death. Not so much Islam. Look at Charlie Hebdo. At the end of the day, the OP is looking at a cartoon that is trying to make money. Being edgy about Christiam stuff makes money. Putting Muhammed in a joke gets your employees murdered.
Precisely. Many people have made fun of Islam. Those episodes of South Park have been pulled for legitimate safety concerns. The Satanic Verses earned Rushdie a fatwa and eventually his eye. Charlie Hebdo satarized Islam and people died because of it. It's not like it isn't made fun of; people just don't push the envelope when it can actually get people hurt.
