    That’s the excuse but in the end they got a Muslim on screen blowing himself up and that’s what sticks in people’s heads. You go to his wiki page and it says “Islamic terrorist”.

      I’m not sure how the author’s message can be more face up. In the end media literacy is a responsibility of the audience to some degree, and criticizing satire for that which it portrays, or in this case criticizing messaging for that which it mocks is a failure to understand the message.
