I understand what he is saying about other religions not been subject to such attempts at light-hearted humour. It's true, but Christianity laughs along, and that's it's strength.

That’s mostly because Christianity is our established church and has a longer history in our culture.
-
And because we don’t place a fatwa on the heads of those that mock us.

Yep, and that.

Julia, I AM eating more sausage rolls (from M&S, not Gregg's) and I am no killjoy! My objection was to the fact that it's always Christianity that is attacked, never other religions. I defend Gregg's right to do as it pleases, but I also have a right to criticise its cowardice.

Christianity has a unique place in our culture as our established religion and the majority religion of the nation. That's why it comes in for mickey taking.

Islam has a unique place in Pakistan's culture, but it doesn't come in for 'mickey taking' there. I don't mind comedians making jokes, but Christmas in this country is much more commercialised, than in, say, Germany, where there are giant nativity scenes at Christmas markets.

WGR, JHB, & as someone who agrees with you 99% of the time, he has a point. Would Greggs dare portray a sausage roll ascending to Heaven on a winged horse instead of The Prophet? I think we all know the answer to that one.

Personally I wasn't offended, I'm Christian. On the other hand if this comedy was applied to another 'religion' we'd all be demonised

Ah yes, the point is they wouldn't dare do it to another religion I could mention, that's what's galling

Exactly right, but that’s the reason we live where we do, and can take the mick out of our selves, no offence intended to mick.
