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."
Fuck Islamic radicals. Also for good measure, fuck Mohammed.
There is a war going on for your mind.
I'll agree that every group usually has its fringe elements. However, with the Muslims...c'mon, it seems the crazies are almost in the majority over there. I doubt you've seen that much news footage with radical christians out in the the street burning someone in effigy, changing death to _______.
It almost seems like it is the 98% of bad muslims that give the rest a bad name.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........

WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
The Vietnamese Buddhist who torched himself sat peacefully in the lotus pose with a beatific smile on his face while he burned.
Assuming that's actually true (which I doubt) I would LOVE to have seen the toxicology report from his autopsy. I'm betting large doses of morphine, possibly mixed with some sort of mild hallucinogens. Anyone got the link?
I am not a Muslim, nor am I religious in any way (personally I find all religions to be backward, generally). That said...
Many posters in this thread have comments about how wacky, insane, stupid, backward, prehistoric, etc. all these Muslims are. Can we at least stop giving insightful mod points to folks providing blanket statements about one of the largest religious community's on earth? Such broad statements about any single large group of people is not intelligent let alone insightful, generally.
Not all Muslims are extremists and not all Muslims care about South Park and what they parody. Many of the blanket comments I've read here are akin to how "black people are" and other discriminatory comments. I am certain most of these comments are not intended to come of discriminatory, but it seems we need a little bit more care in choosing our words in these cases.
Violent Muslim extremists are the ones to be called out here, not the entire Muslim community. Violent Muslim extremists deserve to have parody's of Muhammad shoved up their arse's with their own AK's. Let's at least call out who deserves this kind of rhetoric and not discriminate against 1.57 billion of the world's population.
I'm pretty sure if all Muslim's are violent extremists there won't be much left of any society after Eric Cartman farts and claims Muhammad is speaking through him.
2 cents.
I am Jack's smirking revenge.
Can't we just not insult Mohammed? Seems pretty easy.
I'd say you've never even heard of a little country called Ireland...
... where the terrorists phone in a warning about their bombings in advance so as to minimize casualties.
Where was the phone warning for 9/11? The London bombings? The Madrid bombings? The Kenyan embassy bombings?
Information theory is life. The rest is just the KL divergence.
Respect eh? From a Christian perspective, Mohammad is at best a misguided man, at worst he's a demon who's led billion to hellfire. The thing too many people of any faith can't seem to grasp is that just by existing, their faith is already offensive to others. So, yea show images of Muhammad, even degrading ones. The alternative is to notice just how... incompatible so many faiths are, and have a pointless holy war.
"Lastly, I wonder if there is anything you're willing to "kill" for? Because whatever you come up with, short of "nothing", I can turn and make you look like an "extremist". And if you're not willing to kill for anything, then you're just a slave who is just waiting for a master."
I have my master. The once and future King Jesus Christ, and his servant and Vicar the Pope.
I'd rather die myself, and go to hell, than kill a human being, or change that relationship.
