nate, if The Simpsons had an episode showing Mohammed there'd be problems. No matter what context, it's offensive to depict him.
That was my point. The Simpsons don't get complaints because they're careful not to be too offensive.

Now, The Simpsons has showed God and Jesus in a less-than-perfect light and I'm sure people have been offended.
I'm struggling to think of what you're referring to but you should also remember that The Simpsons is made and aired in societies where Christianity is the dominant religion. On the other hand, when you're a minority you become a lot more sensitive to any slights than when the offense is spread out a bit more.
