This is not new
Many years ago Spitting Image did a puppet of Jesus and inspite of complaints by Christian groups about this being blasphemous the producers took no notice. However when various muslim groups voiced objections, the Jesus puppet was never seen again. (This was also the time of the fatwah against Salmund Rushdie for his book the Satanic Verses).
But the question is, what gives the producers the right to trample over the deeply held religious beliefs of others?
Why did it have to take intervention by muslims to make the Spitting Image producers to realise this when they treated Christians with contempt?
Freedom of speech comes with responsibility
