On Tuesday, Bret Stephens asked in the Wall Street Journal, “Why is it OK to mock one religion but not another?”
So let’s get this straight: In the consensus view of modern American liberalism, it is hilarious to mock Mormons and Mormonism but outrageous to mock Muslims and Islam. Why? Maybe it’s because nobody has ever been harmed, much less killed, making fun of Mormons.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are, of course, the creators of South Park and, along with Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, the proud progenitors of 9-Tony-Award-winning The Book of Mormon.
When’s that new Broadway hit going to open, Trey? Matt?
