This pisses me off. What other religious group besides muslims are comfortable with asserting the sacredness of their faith with threats?

Even the southern baptists wont do this. <_<

Christians.

So when was the last time Christians forced a show off air by threatening to kill the creators of the show?

I mean, this is the same show that had Jesus taking a dump on Buddah 2 years ago. I didn't see the Christians threaten them then.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

A Statement from Matt and Trey

In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.

I love South Park and I hope they keep pushing the envelope and showing people how ridiculous extremists really are



Did they not understand the episode? Have they even watched it?



to everyone here, i am a muslim and that episode clearly hurt the sentiments of all muslims. it wasnt required when you know that you are going to offend someone by talking about their belief and religion. I dnt know ppl like to label muslims as terrorists and extremists these days but it is so easy to do that without understanding or bothering to understand their beliefs and values.
the southpark creators just want money and thats it, and how will they do it, obviously by talking about something that people dont like. its not necessary that what is funny to you is funny for everyone else.we dont like it when someone talks like that about our prophet (peace be upon him),period! and then why do people still do it or show things and hence intentionally/unintentionally hurt our feelings. As a human being, i wouldnt want to hurt someone if i knew what hurts that person but knowing so and still doing it makes people morons and i dont want to use any more foul words bcoz the creators of southpark arent worth it for me.

and ya one more thing: its all a question of faith and nothing more.. peace!!

And it's not necessary to threaten to kill someone, even if they say something that isn't funny to you.

The funny thing is (and what the episode was conveying) is that several years ago absolutely no body cared when south park showed an image of him in an episode but since the whole Danish cartoon fiasco people are making a big deal over what was previously just ignored and now his name can't even be mentioned on tv. The episodes in no way attempted to make fun of or intentionally upset muslims (even though every other religious leader was poked fun at). For some reason and what I suspect Tery and Matt find equally ridiculous is religion is given special protection over any other subject when it comes to satire.

Back to the OP, it wasn't a 'death threat' it was a warning saying that they could be harmed not that they would be. Still pathetic and equally abhorrent but slightly different to how it is being reported.

As long as Muslims threaten to KILL those who disagree with them, people will label them as terrorists and extremists. I'm against all religions but Islam is the only one whose adherents are so intolerant of other groups that they would resort to violence.. the worst part of it is that there is not a single condemnation from the Muslim world. Quit acting like barbarians and the world will not treat you as such.

If people don't question themselves on everything, we are doomed to be beasts.

I label anyone who kills innocent people to get what they want a terrorist, and ALL religions on  this Earth do it.
