Original air date: July 4, 2001. Two months before Americans really cared if they did anything to upset radical Muslims.
There was also no big muslim response in arms to that episode. 9/11 was a flashpoint for both sides of the coin.

After 9/11, Islamic extremists started to scrutinze more things and their influence grew with the indignation Islamic extremists all over became more inflamed with the Afghan/Iraq wars. Whoever it was that declared the fatwah against the cartoonist started all this.
