The "troll" label gets way too much use. Its truth in a given case need not mean it must be invoked at every opportunity. Is a forum interesting if it doesn't entertain its oppositional nuts? Without looking at the OP the thread title itself raises a point. While somewhat less true of atheists and other lovers of satire, a cross section of public outlets wide as a barn door are afraid to insult Islam. The major reason is Political Correctness but  a major secondary reason is because Islam aggressively defends itself, with some sects frequently targeting critics in acts of violence.

This result hasn't required official suppression of free speech, either. It's a self- and peer imposed censorship.
