As some of you may be aware of, UPN has decided to censure their World Wrestling Entertainment program Smackdown! in refusing the show to display the character Muhammad Hassan (Mark Magnus) who is an Arab-American. The reason advocated was the link made between terrorist attacks that happened on London the same day a Smackdown! segment was aired (though taped two days earlier) showing Hassan and his manager Daivari in a situation reminiscent of terrorists.
Muhammad Hassan is one of the most entertaining characters of the WWE shows and because he expresses points of view that makes people ill-at-ease he gets censored...where's the 1st ammendment in all of this?! There is word that the WWE might choose to "kill" the character at their next Pay-Per-View. Let's stop this injustice now, people watching WWE are aware that the show might contain content that might offend some people but not those who watch it. Let's save the Muhammad Hassan character, let's save freedom of expression and let's save entertainment, this petition will be sent to UPN and WWE!
