The God Trumps interview is now available on listen again.
Go to the Sunday Programme website, click on 'listen now' and if you don't want to listen to the whole show, skip forward to 30 minutes and 53 seconds.
It's only a short interview. Mainly because everything that was said about the Muslim card has been edited out. Hmmm...

Do please tell more about the bits that were edited out :)
Nothing too exciting.
We spoke about the Muslim card for a while, discussing the joke behind it, and the backlash.
I talked about how some people had accused us of copping out of criticising Islam, whilst others thought we had singled out and attacked Islam, and said that we had in my opinion done neither. That was just the joke I came up with. I thought it was funny and pertinent.
I explained that I was satirising both extreme Islam (mad Mullahs, effigy burners) and at the same time, this silly consensus that seems to have sprung up in recent years that nobody can say anything about Islam.
Can’t remember the ins and outs of our conversation, but that was the general direction of the discussion.
Can’t think why they cut it. It was arguably the most interesting part of the interview.
I think ironically they may have done precisely what the card satirises!...
Good segment, even without the edited bits. (Looking forward to receiving the next batch of cards.)
FYI, the relevant audio clip is available as an mp3 from RapidShare.
