South Park vs Islam

For anyone who is a fan of South Park, you know that they are number one in trying to exercise their freedom of speech, whether it is making fun of celebrities (that's right Bono, you're a number two), or politicians, or even religious figures. In the current series of episodes they have struck out again against the idea that the Prophet Muhammad is unassailable and devoid of any type of criticism. In the Islamic world it is considered blasphemous to show the Prophet in any type of picture, painting or drawing, so South Park, who once did show Muhammad without any outcry from Muslim critics, now must hide him inside the costume of a big fluffy bear in order to portray him on T.V.



Well it seems that South Park has once again hit a nerve. They are now the focus of a radical Islamic group that has begun to threaten them. I just find it funny that in the latest episode they showed Buddha doing lines of coke, yet so far I haven't heard of any violent Buddhist radicals threatening to destroy the makers of South Park for the blasphemous depiction of their "Awakened One". Muslims need to chill out, relax, and gain a much needed sense of humor.
