This week after airing the first of two episodes which featured the prophet Muhammad dressed in a bear costume the creators of controversial cartoon South Park, received a pretty serious death threat and the FBI was even notified. According to the Los Angeles Times:
Comedy Central declined to comment on the latest incident. But “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone clearly disagreed with their bosses’ handling of the situation. A statement posted on their website said that executives “made a determination to alter the episode” without their approval and that the usual wrap-up speech from one character didn’t mention Muhammad “but it got bleeped too.”
The network may have thought it had no choice after revolutionmuslim.com, the website of a fringe group, delivered a grim warning about last week’s episode, which depicted Muhammad dressed as a bear.
“We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show,” the posting said. A photo of Van Gogh’s body lying in the street was included with the original posting, which has been unavailable to some Web users since news of the item broke earlier this week. “This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”
YIKES. This show is always pissing somebody off or walking on some thin ground. Isn’t that why you guys love it???

The homepage for the radical website is now a picture of a man kissing a boy because that’s what they like to do. Google Bacha Bazi.

simple as that.
so just lay down and let the Religous assholes threaten you and kill your freedom of expression?
FUCK NO
is provocating certain people of race or faith on purpose being respectful?
is that the real sense of freedom of expression u really believe in?

As a muslim, I did appreciate the fact that they were attacking the issue of censorship and thought it was funny. However there are some issues you don’t mess with- depicting the prophet being one of them.
why dont you depict mohammed
I prefer the simpson

South Park has been making fun of everyone since day 1.. its entertainment.. get over it
……………………………………………………….islam needs to worry about the fucking religious extremist making their religion look so fucking bad instead of watching a fucking cartoon show, how about you send them some death threats, fucking idiots.
what about them christian extremist that were tryna kill cops!
or YOUR local pastor or priest pimpin in the pulpit!
the mirror is hard to look into when it is so full of dirt.
Come on bro. You right there are extremist on all sides. but islamic extremeist are on another level of extreme. There is a bomb that kills anywhere between 10 to 60 people everyday over there. Let’s dont even get started on these dudes constantly trying to blow up planes…………………..
your right aleis they’re extremist on all sides of the spectrum, so why is it that Jesus Christ my lord and savior is allowed to be shown watching porn, or budda is allowed to be shown sniffing coke?
moral of the story, live and let live they’re are bigger problems in this world (especially in the middle east) than south park.
they offend everyone, whats so different about them that they cant take the joke.
the religion is takin significantly more serious than others.
lol, religion
Your all mugs, its a TV show. chill the fuck out. ive seen it anyway it was funny.
southparks just fuked and so are its followers theres a limit to everything and there well past it ..there smart n rich enough to get this far .. y not use that power towards something positive..

South Park is making fun of everyone and everything, it’s a parody show, it’s stupid, funny and dumb. We like it.
