I thought it couldn't be shown because of the whole Prophet Mohammad in the briar patch part.

Or am I mixing up my ethnic outrages?

It seems to me that the Disney company is motivated in equal parts by profit and controversy-avoidance (recent ABC mock-u-mentories notwithstanding). While the lure of DVD sales may seem appealing, the risk of causing a racial ruckus is far too great to even contemplate. Didn't some politician recently get skewered for using the term "tar-baby"? It's much more PC to use a term like "third rail" - which describes the effect of using "tar-baby" in a sentence.
