Dead Islamic terrorist not funny
We read:
"Funnyman ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is fuming after a ringtone advertisement based on his popular comedy skit, "Achmed the Dead Terrorist," was scrubbed from South African TV because it mocks Islam. The ringtone was taken from a puppet routine performed by Dunham, a native Texan, in a TV special on Comedy Central. A 10-minute clip of the comedian's routine that was posted on YouTube has been viewed more than 66 million times since April.
But the government of South Africa doesn't think it's funny. According to iafrica.com, South Africa's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that a GloMobile ringtone commercial featuring Dunham and his puppet was offensive to Muslims. The commercial depicts Dunham holding his skeletal puppet, Achmed, dressed with a white cloth around his head and demanding that the audience keep quiet, uttering, "Silence! I will kill you!"
ASA officials said a South African man, Moegamat Khan, had filed a complaint that the commercial was offensive to the Islamic religion and created an impression that all Muslims were terrorists.

Funny guy, unfortunate that some people can't take a joke
It's like saying that to mock David Koresh or Tim McVey is mocking Christianity. How moronic can you get. It is making fun of an inept dead terrorist via a puppet.
Where can I get that ring tone?! The routine is quite funny.
Apparently, far more people around the world have attended the Nevelle Chamberlain (sp.) school of diplomacy than i thought! Leave it to brain-dead liberals and leftists to believe that appeasement has, does, or ever could work! It is precisely this display of weakness that fuels radical islam!
if it was making fun of Christianity it would have been allowed. But nnooo we can not make fun of the religion of the perpetually stupid.
This very funny routine wouldn't be a big deal if the bleeding-heart Liberals hadn't made a big deal about how bad apartheid was.
Now the chickens are coming home to roost....
"...filed a complaint that the commercial was offensive to the Islamic religion and created an impression that all Muslims were terrorists."
This is a typical liberal response. This this guy obviously sees truth in it statement for him to read it as all Muslims being terrorists. I'm not a Muslim and I know that all Muslims are not terrorists. Just as not all right-wing conservative evangelical Christians are wack-jobs. Some are but not all are in both cases. It's always the extremists who incorrectly make racist connections where none exist.
Show me a moderate muslim, and I will show you a terrorist-in-waiting.
