Im starting to get really angry at Muslims overall. They claim its a small minority of people yet I did not hear of any other Muslim groups advocating for freedom from censorship. I consider myself an atheist and am no fan of Christianity but when is the last time someone has been killed over a cartoon of Jesus? Hell South Park has done some really bad shit with their Jesus character and it skates on thorough the censors.

I'm really stating to support the idea of turning some deserts into glass.

Yep, I like it

Terrorism is a rather strange thing. One using it doesn't need to defeat his enemy. He just threatens and watches his opponent do it himself.

South Park does get offensive. I've seen things that I really didn't care for, but they aren't doing what they do because they have a "hate" agenda. Who haven't they insulted?

What happens? One person gets publicity and shuts them down. I find that more offensive than anything SP could do.

That's the reason for my temporary avatar change. It's a finger in the face of those who would have us comply with terroristic threats.

Don't tread on me.

your parents must be proud to have such a retarded dipshit roaming their basement. if u know this is offensive, why do it? freedom of speech? how about u exercise you freedom to not be a dumbfuck once in awhile.

what if someone decided to have a swastika avatar day or a gay priest avatar day or a no gays avatar day, you'd be okay with that?

clearly the mods in this forum are ignorant fools to allow this. you know who you are. fool

u sound jellus..

I just read Diana West's latest column, she holds everyone's feet to the fire on this...

South Park Can't Stop Sharia Alone

Written by: Diana West
Friday, April 23, 2010 2:43 AM

The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, get it.

They get the free-speech significance of the Danish Muhammad cartoons epitomized by Kurt Westergaard's bomb-head Muhammad.

They even get it across.

"It's so sad, the whole Muhammad, the whole Danish cartoon thing," said Stone, Parker seated beside him during a joint interview with the entertainment website Boing Boing.

Don't laugh. "Boing Boing" here goes where "elite" media fear to tiptoe, let alone tread. The subject was the 200th episode of South Park, which, in unusually clean if satirical fashion, focused on Islam's fanatical, and, to Western sensibilities, ridiculous prohibitions on depictions and criticism of Muhammad, who is at one point presented in a bear suit disguise. (Now you can laugh.)

Stone continued: "It's like, if everyone would have just, like, (done what they) normally they do in the news organizations, (and) just printed the cartoons..."

"Everyone would have rallied together," interjected Parker.

"Now that guy (Westergaard) has to be hiding and all this (bleep) because everyone just kind of left him out to dry. It's a big problem when you have the New York Times and Comedy Central and Viacom basically just (wimping) out on it. It's just sad. I was, like, really sad about the whole thing."

This -- despite the grubby vall-speakish patois of the astronomically successful Hollywood postmodern -- is a singularly powerful statement. It is powerful in its sincerity, and it is singular in its, well, singularity. No other American "name" I can think of, no one tops in pop culture, has spoken out against or even mentioned the Islamic threat to Western freedom of expression as exemplified by the Sharia dictates against "Muham-tooning." Certainly no one has produced creative content about it. Rather, such dictates have been religiously followed -- no pun whatsoever intended -- just as though our society were itself officially Islamic.

This makes South Park's message the closest thing yet to a mainstream declaration of independence from Sharia.

For rejecting both the threat of violence and the emotional blackmail emanating from Islam over critiquing Islam's prophet, the two South Park creators deserve a medal.

"They're courageous -- no doubt that they are," said Bill O'Reilly of Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" this week. He was discussing the Islamic death threats against Parker and Stone that, naturally, followed the recent South Park Muhammad episode.

The threats came in a jihadist video (caption: "Help Us Remove this Filth") portraying the writer-producers as likely victims of Islamic violence along with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Salman Rushdie, Geert Wilders, Kurt Westergaard and Lars Vilks. A photo of the slain body of filmmaker Theo van Gogh, his head nearly cut off on an Amsterdam street in 2004 by a jihadist assassin, served as an example.

Rather than praise Parker's and Stone's courage, however, O'Reilly went on to disparage their judgment.

"Was it the smart thing to do in light of the Danish cartoonist and van Gogh?" he asked. "It's harmless to me," he continued about the episode in question. "But if you are a hardcore jihadist any mention of Muhammad in any kind of way, particularly if you poking fun at him, is a capital offense."

According to whose law, Bill -- Islam's or ours? Or is our law now Islamic? Those are the question citizens of the Western world need to hear discussed. But not on the O'Reilly Factor.

"See, I would have advised them not to do it," O'Reilly continued, "because the risk is higher than the reward."

One reason there is such a high "risk" is because media people such as O'Reilly left Westergaard and now the South Park creators, as Parker put it, "out to dry." All media in American should have reproduced Westergaard's cartoon, just as all media in American should now applaud Parker and Stone for their defense of free speech against Sharia. Surely, it is O'Reilly's responsibility as a leading broadcaster to do that small bit to keep the airwaves free.

Alas, this man of the folks doesn't see it that way. "You don't want to give in to the intimidating forces of evil," he said. "But you got to deal with reality. And these people are killers and they will kill you."

In other words, shut up about Muhammad, and everything will be fine -- or at least Islamic.

The Boing Boing interview.

:awe:

South Park's Matt & Trey receive death threats, RevolutionMuslim quotes Boing Boing

Xeni Jardin at 10:07 AM Friday

When Matt Stone and Trey Parker spoke to me for a Boing Boing Video interview last week about plans for their 200th episode, which would feature a cartoon version of the prophet Mohammed, I did not anticipate what would follow.

Comedy Central, as the duo predicted, bleeped out all references to the religious figure's name (while leaving in Jesus, Buddha, and the rest of their holy ilk), and censored a closing speech which did not reference the figure at all. But they apparently did so in response to death threats against Matt, Trey, and Comedy Central posted on a site called RevolutionMuslim.com. That site appears to be based in New York City, and is said to be run by a Jewish guy who converted to an extremist form of Islamic fundamentalism. A post on the site said Matt and Trey would likely "end up like" Theo Van Gogh, the filmmaker who was murdered for making a film about the abuse of Muslim women.

The site embedded my interview with Matt and Trey in that post, and referenced portions of the interview in making the argument that the two should face death for this episode of South Park.

I am saddened that these two artists have been so utterly abandoned by the network that distributes their work. I am saddened that the interview we published about that controversy was used by buliles to justify threats of violence. This is just nuts. Matt says:

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.

Yeah. Your avatar offends me. Take it down or I'll kill you.

Sound a little extreme? IT IS FUCKING EXTREME.

Jesus dude. Think before you post.

I haven't even looked at 4 chan in a year or so, but this seems like a job for them...

This. Ananon needs to troll all nutty muslims to oblivion. Much lulz to be had.

 

[halik]

Anyone touches Matt and Trey and we'll drive the Muslims out of this country. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.

Ha I would tend to echo that sentiment. This country will not tolerate religious extremist quashing 1st amendment with a thread of violence. If you think there's anti-muslim sentiment now, imagine what happens when people get the idea that their constitutional rights are threatened by holy rollers.

Revolution Islam, Website Of Group That Threatened Comedy Central, Is Hacked

What a bad night for the radical fundamentalist creeps at Revolution Islam, the goons who threatened "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with the entire Comedy Central organization yesterday over an episode of "South Park", which contained images of Mohammed that were eventually censored. While a nation of "Daily Show" fans were tuning in to watch an angry Jon Stewart lead another performance of his "Go Fuck Yourself" choir in retaliation, visitors to the Revolution Islam site found that their homepage had been hilariously hacked.

The damage is free for all to see this morning as well:

Amazing. And yes, all newspaper around the world should've reprinted that ad. All of them.

I find it absolutely appalling that a small group of holy rollers can essentially curtail free speech with threats of violence.

John Stewart supports South Park as well, in his own inimitable way...

Jon Stewart Stands Up For 'South Park,' Sings Another Round of 'Go F--k Yourselves' (VIDEO)

Last night Jon Stewart came to the aid of his Comedy Central family, defending "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for their controversial (and censored) episode in which they portrayed Muhammad.

The censorship by Comedy Central was meant to protect Parker and Stone, following death threats from radical, NY-based Revolution Muslim. Yeah, NY based, which according to Stewart means that while they praise Osama Bin Laden and celebrate 9/11, they have access to our theater district, Jewish delis, and parks.

"These numbnuts get to enjoy it. All because of how much we, in this country, value and protect even their freedom of expression. "​

Stewart himself is no stranger to mocking religions. After acknowledging how well each faith has handled the show's ridicule, he presented an epic reel of the show's religion jokes over the years.

And keeping consistent with the theme of the week, Stewart had one last thing to say to Revolution Muslim: "Go F--k Yourselves." And again, he did it through song.

Nice way to close out a strong week for the "Daily Show."

Touchy. Touchy. Touchy. To compare a harmless joke of a picture to actual persecution is about as right of the field as it gets. To explain it to you, the only way to get a hoity-toity group off it's self-made haloed perch is to poke fun at it. Perhaps if the muslim community did a bit of soul-searching, they would wake up from their rip van winklesque medieval slumber and see that they are actually in the 21st century where human ideas (including religious beliefs) are fair game for scrutiny and, in the process, can be subject to ridicule.

My advice to you is to lighten up.

Religion in general tends to produce "victims", and islam does it better than the rest. By being "victims", followers get to feel righteous anger, and any heinous crimes they commit are done by god's grace against the evil oppressors. If islam were a person, it would be a 13 year old emo boy cutting himself. I'm more than sick of it.
