I watched that new National Lampoon documentary, Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon, and guess who shot down that magazine? Yes, it's your unfriendly neighborhood Christians. While Muslims attack satirical magazines with guns and bombs, christian organizations call your sponsors and threaten them with actions against them, like not buying their products, so they feel forced to withdraw.
At that point magazine wasn't selling that great anymore so it was easy for religious nuts (as if there are any other religious people) to nail them down.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
