Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit
An anonymous reader writes "A radical Islamic website is warning the creators of South Park that they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode broadcast on Comedy Central last week. RevolutionMuslim.com posted the warning following the 200th episode of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's South Park."
I find it ironic that the "prophet" Mohammed is treated with more respect and reverence by Muslims who treat human life as superfluous than the "Messiah" Jesus is treated by his followers.
Revelations 3:15-16 calls these followers "lukewarm" and God will spit them out of his mouth on judgement day.
Muhammad can go suck a big, floppy donkey dick.
but thanks to this extremist statement, I'll be watching.
Muhammad can suck my cock.

They're no extremists. A strongly-worded Jihad? Let the ululation begin! (Until our voices get sore, or until I have to get back in time for the Osama bin Laden Variety Hour tv show...)
You, moron, deprived of any sense of style, irony, subtlety, or even originality, witless and blabbering your pathetic attempts at "humor", which fall flat in a deadening silence of the startled audience unable to comprehend, how that seemingly able body of yours could possibly house such a cruel caricature of intelligence.
Go away, hide, and don't come back until you are through all of your summer reading assignments and have written "I will not use the word `shit' in a joke again" in foot-tall letters on the highway. In bright crayons. 200 times...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
One word...
CRUSADES
I am Bennett Haselton! I am Bennett Haselton!
... and his prophets don't need anyone to defned them either. Especially the dead ones.
Maybe they need the one true God? Theirs seems to be entirely lacking in this area. Not to mention the Prophet, and his inadequacies. Please. He can take care of himself, if needed, eh? Can't? Tough.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
I think there is more truth in what you say than most care to admint; but your statement is a bit crass. As Christian I am well aware that we have as group have done many things in the Christ's name which are inexcusebly un-Christian. Most Christians are peaceful and most Muslims probably are as well. Where the whole thing breaks down as far as the defense of Islam goes is that their early history is characterized by violoence.
Mohammed was a violent concourer that is just historical fact. Jesus never got beyond the minor destruction of property and there is only one record even of that. The Quaran does specifiy violent remedies for any number of situations where the Bibible taken as whole work with the New Testament taken to have supreemacy (as Christians do) does not. These are facts they are. Its therefore true that an Islamic fundamentalist is a supporter of violenece.
The TFA issue though IMHO is not a religious matter at all but a secular one, which is resolved and should therefore not command the attention it gets at all. We have freedome of speech in the US and freedom of religion. Islamists are free to practice their rule about not portraying the profit, but everyone else has the abosult right to do so. This is one of the basic principles of our society and it must be defended for the sake of our democracy. I am sure most everyone agrees on this point. I think all sinsationalizing the issue with media attention does is lend credibility to the Islamist argument; which at least in the United States is a dog that wont hunt.
Repeal the 17th Amendment TODAY! Also Please Read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
Maybe it's because although some Christians might send angry letters they are very unlikely to act on it
You're right. It's the right-wingers in general that, apparently, are far more likely to get violent... throwing rocks and cutting gas lines, among other things. And then there's the verbal threats, racial epithets, etc, etc. Ahh, good times...
For Muslims Mohammad isn't "a guy", he is their most sacred prophet. For Muslims degrading Mohammad is more akin to desecrating a grave or religious building. I'm not agreeing with their tactics, but really, a little respect for someone's religion might not be too much to ask. If someone defiled a child's grave how would you feel about that? Respect is a two way street, if you want someone to respect you and your beliefs you have to be willing to respect them and their belief.

So do not worry, /. do not see you as a flamebait. Right?
"maybe its time to grow some thicker skin"
It has little to do with feelings ("skin"), the retribution for the attacks against the Prophet, sal Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam, is part of my religion. Every religion has a sacred part that has to be defended, Islam has it too and part of the reason Islam being taken seriously is the willingness of many followers to follow the Islamic rulings strictly.
I do not believe in karma. "Funny"=-6. Do good and forbid evil. Yours, Oft-Offtopic Flamebaiting Troll.
I have to agree with you on this... with just religion and greed we could probably account for 95% of the worlds problems, with most of that being due to religious differences.
And now our own idiot teabaggers want nothing more than to put in an American Theocracy. These people just do not look at the harm religion has done to other countries.
