Anti-dhimmitude from Andy McCarthy at The Corner, as he skewers the Rosie-O’Donnell-Moral-Equivalence crowd:
Madd Drudge reports that, to pump up its sweeps-week ratings, NBC will air a Madonna concert in which the, er, maturing pop-diva will spoof … the Crucifixion. [Hat tip: Steve Malzberg, sitting in today for Bill Bennett at Morning in America.]
Apparently, the show features, “Madonna, wearing a gittered [sic] crown of thorns, descend[ing] on a suspended mirrored, disco ball-type cross[,] singing her hit ‘Live To Tell.'”
An NBC exec explained: “We viewed it and didn’t see it as being inappropriate.” Besides, the artist herself “considered the crucifixion a highlight of her show.”
No word yet on any riotings, torchings, shootings, bombings, beheadings or other executions. But you know, with these rascals, it’s just a matter of time.
Also, no word yet on whether NBC has considered airing “Submission,” a film about the mistreatment of Islamic women. It hasn’t been shown yet. You see, it’s Dutch director, Theo van Gogh, was brutally murdered in 2004 by a not-so-moderate you-know-what named Mohammed Bouyeri, who pinned the corpse with a note calling for “jihad.” (I hasten to add, of course, that, according to Muslim activists now providing sensitivity training to our federal agents, jihad is the peaceful “internal struggle against sin,” not, God forbid, “holy war.”)
