The intent to offend

Recently something happened where many expected a ballistic reaction from Muslims in general - The Prophet 
was depicted in a two part south park episode.
The media was salivating at the expected reaction, the network broadcasting it was cowering in fear - it censored the second of the two episodes to sucha degree that even speeches that did not mention Islam or the prophet werew bleeped out.
CNN and other media were positive of a reaction - why wouldn't there be one? Remember the dutch cartoon saga and the many protests?
CNN even rolled out the chief Islamophobe Ayaan Ali Hirsi to condemn Islam as an extremist religion and the state was set.
