South Park incurs the wrath of Mohammed

[Onkel Neal]

Here we go again. These idiots walk the streets of New Yawk, no less.

Go ahead, Skybird, this is a free fire zone.

I wonder if Kenny gets it again?

Radical Islam?

F*ck'em

Their faith allows them to watch silly cartoons? Who woulda thunk it?

[tater]

Islam means "peace."

"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid," the posting on Revolutionmuslim.com says, "and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."

Not a threat, just Muslims themselves telling us that other Muslims ()not the poster!) are likely to murder people over a cartoon.

Got it.

How many were murdered over the cross in a jar of piss in that museum? Or the collage of the Virgin Mary made out of pictures of female genitalia cut from porno mags?

Hmm, let me think. Yeah, that's right, ZERO.

And Mohammed said he also doesn't see anything wrong with his messages -- he dislikes the United States and he yearns for a Muslim world.

But I will keep my dead arse in NY and enjoy the freedoms of speech along with everthing else the United States has to offer. What a blow hard.

Would they have laughed if it had been a gimp suit instead?

Nah, maybe they'd laugh if he was portrayed wearing the flayed skin of their enemies.

It's a gag based on the BS we heard after 911 that Islam means peace and was hijacked.

Islam in fact means "submission" or "submission to god."

Well, according to wiki, there's about 1,300,000,000 to 1,600,000,000 people to tolerate.

I'm fine with reciprocal tolerance. They can walk around in hijab and buqua as long as foreigners can walk around in miniskirts in their countries (not you of course, no one wants to see that ).

I'm still concerned about basic doctrine that is not in dispute, even by the most "moderate" Muslims, however. Apostasy has the required punishment of death. The most moderate response (from a super moderate Imam) was that we need not worry, because death for apostasy is not practical---not undesirable, but impractical. Yeesh.

That doesn't mean that all Muslims murder all apostates, but it's there, as a desired punishment---and where they have absolute power, it frequently becomes law.

Live and let live but screw with my SECULAR government, and you should be in deep doo doo. Other fundies in the US are roundly abused, but the Muslims get a pass for some reason. IMHO it should always be open season on idiotic belief systems.

@Tater
Hey what's with the notion idiotic belief systems.

If you're one of those atheists who seem to hate people with beliefs different that yours then you're being part of the problem and what's the difference between that and the Muslim fundamentalists who hate and threaten anybody else?

Pay respect to other people and be tolerable to other people's belief.

Everybody is entitled to believe in what he wants as long as he does not force me to embrace his belief. Too bad Islam explicity says otherwise, starting from the name itself down to the content of its sacred book.

Sometimes I look back at our histhory and wonder how men could turn even a peacful religion like Christianity into the blind, fanatical cult it was till the end of the 18th century. And then I realize it was all lust for power.

Same case here, different religion. Excpet that most of those who practice Islam still live in a intellectual "middle age", so no wonder their mindset is so different from ours and can be exploited by clever individuals.

Unfortunately, there's little that can be done. Big social changes must happens from within. Everything we will do, good or bad, will only radicalize their beliefs. Until theb, it's better not to let Islam spread to those countries which already broke free of religion because it will only damage our tenue social tissue based on human rights and respect for everyone. We're facing a culture that is not playing by our own rules.

Original post from revolutionmuslim com:

"The episode went beyond just showing him, but it outright insulted him, salaa Allahu 'alayhi wa salam, by showing him in a bear suit and making fun of our beloved Nabi, salaa Allahu 'alayhi wa salam."

Well it turned out that inside the costume was santa claus. Pretty smart. Bet they anticipated the reactions. Did this make (radical) muslims look stupid? Sure did. Amongst 700 trillion other things.
