South Park pushes Islam's buttons...

[Jim Price]

The makers of South Park may stir up their biggest controversy yet, in depicting Muhammed in an episode. Here's the story:

I can envision riots in the streets and burning effigies of Cartman now...

[f.sciarrillo]

I saw this and I say - GO FOR IT ! .. If the Islam community can't accept criticism, then they are as far lost as they think they are.

[songsmith]

I agree. I watched both episodes... last week they replayed it at midnight, like always, but this week, A) they censored Muhammed's name out, B) they censored Muhammed's image even more, and C) they did NOT replay the episode at midnight, instead airing an episode that turned out to be funnier anyway.
On one hand, I think people's opinion of Islam is not under control by Islam (if they want to be respected they should stop cutting off people's heads and blowing sh*t up), and they should just deal with the world's view of them and their deity. On the other hand, if I were Parker & Stone I would not put my pecker in an alligator's mouth to see what happens. Again. --->JMS

Are we to fear Muslims because we don't subscribe to their beleifs? If minding your own business (and comedy is South Park's business) puts you in the crosshairs of some muslim sniper, then I say "Choke on my Jesus" Now........doesn't that make for a nice, neighborly and tolerant America?

Apparently there was something just short of a death threat too...

I can't say I blame them for not pissing off the Muslims but I've been a long time fan and it's sort of dis-heartening to see them censor themselves because of one demographic

[witchhunt]

I say f*ck the muslims. And any people that try to spread the idea that they are a peaceful people are dead wrong.

There are anything but a peaceful religion. That is for sure ...

[songsmith]

True dat. But the same can be said for Christianity, at nearly every point in it's history. It's why the Dark Ages were dark.--->JMS

[Merge]

I thought it was dark due to lack of sunlight.

I thought it was when Michael Jackson was black

I don't believe that it was Matt and Trey that censored the episode, it was more likely Comedy Central. I don't think those guys have ever censored or apologized for anything they have put in an episode, which is great. They poke fun at everyone, even themselves.

[witchhunt]

CC did censor it.

Tell me about it - check this out:

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good..."

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we'll execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they are tried and executed."

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them..."

Crazy fuckers....

Thank you for not putting the whole statement with those. It shows who's side you are on. Where did you get that from? MSNBC?

The Islam religion is not peaceful or friendly by any stretch of the imagination. The Christians admitted what they did and have been spending the past couple of hundred years trying to make it better. The Islamic nut cases are still doing the same thing that Mohammad did - Force people to convert and kill those who don't.

Try reading the quaran some time. You will see a lot in there that is not of right stances with a peaceful religion. Well, the parts that are past the stories about Abraham and Ishmael, and how Ishmael was the chosen one. It is actually the other way around. Isaac was the chosen one. It is so nice to have a family feud last for thousands of years .. I can go on if you like?

you are judging a whole religion on a few extremest, please show me some facts that ALL Islamic people are crazy blood thirsty scavengers? So since the KKK is all Christians, does that mean all Christians are racist rednecks? I mean i dont like the Islamic terrorists but Im not going to look at a Muslim walking down the street and think hes just looking for a public place to bomb.

Who says I'm on any "side"? The very fact that you think there are "sides" demonstrates how you are trapped in an "us vs them" mentality, which people with power use to manipulate you and your feelings into actions that serve their interests.

And I got the quotes from a site that popped up after a google search for "violent quotes from Christians". Took about 30 seconds.

Uh, bro - the quotes I made were not made a couple hundred years ago. These are from people currently in the upper echelons of right wing organizations, representatives of those that claim to be "religious" and "Christian." Today.

Try reading the Bible sometime. You will see a lot in there that is not of right stances with a peaceful religion. [BTW - I have never heard that phrase "of right stances" before, but the point was copying your words and changing quaran to bible. There are plenty of passages one could cite from either book to support these statements, or the notion that the religion espouses peace.]

You are totally missing the point, man. Flaw gets the point, as do many others - you cannot judge an entire category of people the way you are doing. If you want to look for things to point to in order to demonize a group, you can do it with ANY group, be it muslims, Christians, midgets, radio DJs (sorry, JP) whoever.

He's probably at least fantasizing about it.

[f.sciarrillo]

I know that not all Muslims are nut cases killers. But, there is a fact that the religion in a not a peaceful religion and when it comes to the ones doing all the killing, it is the extremists - That is the point I was making. The reason I said about sides is because what you quoted was not the whole statement as to what was actually said. It was one sentence that was taken out of context. Probably by some party that does not agree with them.

And I do read the bible, All I ever see is love thy enemy like your brother. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Do not kill, do not steal, etc., etc..

I hope I don't get to use that one against you in an "I told you so" kind of way.

As for reading the Bible, read all of it, not just the parts you agree with right now. There are a lot of good parts about turning the other cheek, loving thy neighbor, etc., that you're apparently not hearing. There's a sequel: The New Testament. I've read it many times, and I'm quite sure there's nothing about conservatism, or social Darwinism, or American Exceptionalism, or even the "free market capitalism." It's mostly about taking care of one another, and focusing on good.--->JMS
