Death threats for South Park creators after Muhammad depicted on show, disguised in a bear suit

Who is stopping you from taking up arms? Are you waiting for other people to do it first?

They take offence because they know they believe in something fraudulent. Muslims suffer from a huge inferiority complex. They have no ground to stand on and they know it.

Please don't misinterpret my post as an attack against Islam; this principle has an extensive range, from gay marriage to illegal immigration. I've seen it plenty with Christians, too.

wow, that's so freaking stupid. way to empower the crazy muslims. i forsee angry comments from matt and trey

We should not cave into the Muslim demands and threats. They are not God, they don't have the right to do what they do, they must be taught to stand down.

Not really fair to pass judgement on a series that you have admittedly never seen an entire episode.

a poster depicting a true event is hate speech? get your heads out of your asses muslims...

You never take a break from revealing your utter ignorance, do you?

Mohammed is NOT an example of what you described as a "prophet {that} used their life as proof that a 2x4 to the head (or in today's society a gun or a bomb filled airplane) labeled with religious legalese isn't going to convert anyone to your cause--but offering a kind word or a sharing a moment of compassion and understanding will open people's hearts and draw them into being faithful followers of your religion."

Apparently, you have yet again swallowed the "Islam is a religion of peace" bullshit without having ever read any of the Suras from the Quran. Stop spouting this utter bullshit and go read what Muhammed said after his mother's tribe adopted his religion and he began to wage war.

Muhammed's name should NEVER appear in any sentence comparing him favorably with Jesus or Buddah.

Ahh irony...you call me ignorant and tell me what I should think and attack me--while directly quoting me when I said...

"but offering a kind word or a sharing a moment of compassion and understanding will open people's hearts and draw them into being faithful followers of your religion."

Seriously stop and read before you engage your mouth--or your keyboard. And also please stop acting like we are in Jr high and you need to show off by following me around and calling me names.

You err, as so many do:

"Buddhism is not a religion in the sense in which that word is commonly understood, for it is not "a system of faith and worship owing any allegiance to a supernatural being."

Buddhism does not demand blind faith from its adherents. Here mere belief is dethroned and is substituted by confidence based on knowledge, which, in Pali, is known as saddha. The confidence placed by a follower on the Buddha is like that of a sick person in a noted physician, or a student in his teacher. A Buddhist seeks refuge in the Buddha because it was he who discovered the path of deliverance. "

So, YES you are right, Buddhism is essentially an instruction for how to live a good life, as is Taoism. Neither are strictly relgions, by comparison with Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.

Damned you're expensive. :P

I think we should be fearful of caving in to threats of violence and abandoning our freedom of expression.

I'm seeing the outrage from so many on this page who on other days apologize for Islam, but boy, once the Islamofascists threaten South Park, suddenly they seem to get it.

Nothing has changed folks, except now Islamofascism has come 100% to the USA.

So I'll say it loud and clear: "Muhammed was an illiterate pedophile tyrant wannabe."

Islamofascists, kiss my ass.

word

Very good points! I saw O'Reilly last night support the government's threat against Spirit airlines about charging for carry on luggage, saying that they should be stopped.

What ever happened to allowing the market to drive what business policies endure, which companies fail? Suddenly the government should step in?

Bullshit, Bill. Your "principles" seem suddenly soggy...shall I say "flaccid"?!

Gag me. I actually agree with you. Jot down the date in the calendar.

ah yes, and intolerance is met with intolerance. Absolutely brilliant!

I'm not intolerant. I've specifically pointed out Islamic EXTREMISTS. If the rest want to be Muslim more power to them. I'm just sick of the mentality of Islamic EXTREMISTS.

You said: their religion is set up for men only.

Actually, Christianity is also set up for men only- The Bible says God is the head of Man, Man is the head of Woman. It also says a woman is not to teach, and that women are the property of their husbands. Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism are also biased in favor of men.

I can't think of any religion, short of Wicca, that treats men and women completely equal.

All of these religions are based on ancient books written by ancient people who all believed that women were inferior to men.

The only diference is that Islamic Fundamentalists in modern times are living not unlike Christians did in the Dark ages. "Suffer not a Witch to Live" was used to justify killing any troublesome uppity woman.

But even under archaic Christianity, Women weren't treated as badly as they are within Islam.

There is goddess worship that is actively being practiced. Women serve as priestesses not only in the goddess worship, but now also in certain branches of Christianity women serve as priests and bishops. If religions want to survive, they are going to have to rewrite their texts to be inclusive of everyone.

The world is moving in a trajectory towards equality for all. Thoughts and words become realities...eventually. Just look at books written 50 to 70 years ago, considered fiction by most, now are real technologies we use everyday. Before these changes occurred people wrote about them. Many of these same books demonstrated a world where religion no longer reigns, where men and women are equals and those ideals will eventually become just as real as the technologies.

People are waking up. Its going to be a bumpy ride, that is for sure.

Golly, maybe if Christians actually adopted terrorist policies, then the Atheists and far left Liberal loons would suddenly start to respect them and stop the incessant attacks?

("that's not a threat, it's a warning")

Dave, at what point does it stop being "intollerance" and become survival?

"Tolerance let the intolerant
enter through the back door
T'was too late, too late, to reverse her mistake
and they raped her there on the floor

And death was slow when it came
But worse was the sting of the shame
For she had been good, and she had been kind,
but foolishly she had been willfully blind"

Tolerance, by BugTheRoot

For you to say what you did, to advocate terrorism, means that you are not really a Christian, You are a faux Christian.

Faux or false Christians are already engaging in terrorist tactics in their war against the Muslims around the world and have done so since the time of the crusades. Christians first used terrorism as soon as the Christian Church became the official church of the Roman Empire. One of the first acts of the new Christian government was to round up the heritics and other non believers in the particular brand of Christianity that came to power, including gnostic Christians and the followers of other non conformist Christian groups and use them as human touches lining the road to Rome. Later it was the witches, defined as any woman who expressed herself sexually or in a non conformist manner, then the inquisition, etc etc....A Religion has a tendency to become its opposite once it acheives political power. It happened with Christians, Muslims and Jews. I do not condone the hatred and violence percipitated by either Israel, the Muslim states or the Christian states, nor do I condone the hatred and violence advocated by you.

idiot.

wow, brilliant response. you sure showed him.

Cult is defined as "A system of religious beliefs and ritual" so in that sense all religions are just cuilts with more members. "The worship and adoration of a leader who has set forth a set of rules for living."

And a religion is merely a cult with tax exempt ststus.

or naive like urself..

oh, shut up and take your hatred elsewhere, troll

where r these so-called majority of muslims Dave?...can u hear them now?...did u hear them when they slaughtered 3000 peeps on 9-11?...did u hear them when they butchered Theo?...even better yet, do u hear them when the sunni & shia slaughter each other in their own mosque's?...no Dave, i have no hatred fo anyone...i can't make any excuses fo the silent majority like u prefer to do...the truth bites don't it Dave!

dave, you are dangerously naive. deep down, you seem to be struggling to be such a good person, not quick to judge, your fight to be "fair" is admirable. But it's just dangerously naive.

It's almost like saying that "not all the Nazis knew about the ovens. Not all of them wanted war." Right. That's a true statement. So does that make it wrong to make a statement like "the Nazis were genocidal war mongerers"? Of course not.

Polls of Muslims have revealed that surprisingly large percentages support terrorist acts.
In a poll conducted five months ago and broadcast on Britain's Channel 4 TV, nearly 25% of British Muslims said the July 7, 2005, terror bombings in London, which killed 52 innocent commuters, were justified. I mean , it´s those who had the courage to OPENLY ADMIT that they think they were justified. Another 30% said they would prefer to live under strict Islamic Sharia law rather than England's democratic system.

A survey published in December 2007, found that 44% of Nigerian Muslims believe suicide bombing attacks are "often" or "sometimes" acceptable. Only 28% said they were never justified. According to the annual Pew Global Attitudes Survey, less than half of Jordanian Muslims believe terror attacks are never justified. In Egypt, only 45% of Muslims say terror is never justified. As Reuters reported triumphantly on October 15, 2007; "less than 20 millions of the adult Indonesian Muslims said they backed jihad and supported bomb attacks on the island of Bali aimed at foreign tourists". It´s less than 10%, they say , it does not look like too much. But I, for example, do not feel too comfortable knowing that 20 millions of the Indonesian Muslims are ready to kill me, even if "it´s less than 10%" .

But the last nail in the coffin of the myth about "the small fringe" was hammered not by Washington Post or Jerusalem Post - but by the Arab Al-Jazeera. On the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a survey conducted by Al-Jazeera asked the respondents in various Islamic countries a question: "Do you support Osama Bin-Laden?"

A whopping 49.9% answered: YES.

So, 49.9% of Muslims support Bin-Laden and share both his goals - and his tactics to achieve these goals. In the elections of 1932, Hitler received the support of only 33% of Germans.

FAIL

FAIL? Yes, you must certainly did. You are an intolerant ignorant hatemonger that does far more harm than good even to your beliefs. Especially dredging up a lame Nazi comparison! Dear God, how trite! I declare victory in the name of Godwin's Law.

I'd agree with curtisreed! the Nazi's were committed fanatics and so are the fanatics of Islam! They will kill anyone who resists,even their own people,they have no respect for life! the regime in Iran is convinced that they are the messiah if Islam and they will use nuclear weapons against us,to in their warped world view,win! every moslem is a potential terrorist! the only thing they take seriously is killing,death,and bowing and scraping to their warped 14th century vision! Women will be treated like chatel,free speech a memory! there is in my view no excuse for their actions,they like the Nazi's they are vermin that must be treated as such! dave please look at your history Islam's goal has been to take over the west for centuries and that is still Islam's goal!

It's no wonder when Tom Cruise was shown fugepacking that he would want the power of invulnerability to being mocked that Muhammad has.

After all would there be death threats from Scientologists warning about the depictions of Tom Cruise?

and my prediction is: nothing you'll read or hear or learn will ever be able to counter that growing realization.

I was torn to come this realization when I had a very dear friend who was an Egyptian Muslim, the sweetest lady you'd ever want to know. I know there are so many wonderful Muslims but dammit, the clerics and leaders are pushing the religion in a direction that will inevitably result in a global conflict. Sadly, there will be more Serbian massacres in the future as non-Muslims struggle to survive the ever increasing tyranny of the hell-bent religion. Very good, peaceful Muslims will be swept up and killed with them.

It's not something I want to see happen, I desperately hope we can avoid it, but I don't think it's probable.

THAT'S JUST AMBIGUOUS ENOUGH TO WORK! GENIUS!

ha i know it wont work not right now at least... but its an idea

were you high when you wrote that? it sounds like stoner la la la optimism. Go sing Kumbaya, junior.

Trey and Matt are ROFL all the way to the bank at how easily and predicably they'll fall for it every time.

Yeah, until some nut-job whips out a gun, self-detonates in their office, etc. Taunting the crazies for fun and profit is exactly the same game being played by the likes of Palin, etc, but in this case Muslim extremists are far more dangerous to tease, as they have a proven track-record of doing what they threaten....

See, the right to free speech is all well and good, but it doesn't protect you when someone else decides to rob you of your "life, liberty, and pursuit to happiness" without a proper trial, because of it.

Which is why it's best to exercise your second amendment rights while you exercise your first amendment rights!

Absolutely. I don't think they did it just for publicity, although they knew it would draw attention. I think they constantly try to challenge people to think and this was a clear challenge to the Muslims.

Think about it: it came right on the heels of more threats in Europe about the Mohammed cartoons, threats against Dutch politician Gert Wilders, they knew what they were stepping into. And I bet they also knew the reaction of the network would be to censor them, which they NEVER did when they ran episodes mocking Jesus and other prophets.

The emperor is no longer wearing any clothes!

Its sad how parallel his views are to mine. It just shows me that people feel the same way across the pond. Its nice to see someone giving genuine insight into this, rather than doing the present norm of just cheering to whatever anyone on a podium says. I think that the Muslims are just riding the wave of 911 and are having a great time draining our economy by attacking us and running across the Pakistani border. Its really just like how when your sister hit you as a kid and you cant do anything about it because your mom wont let you hit her. The only thing that we can do is just wait for mom to go to sleep. Then its sweet sweet revenge. They always talk about respecting their beliefs yet don't even care about respecting ours. I want you all to envision a world without the dark ages. Imagine the possibilities we could of had without religious oppression. Now imagine a world were a new religious oppressor is allowed to destroy civilization as we know it and replace it with religion. This war is never going to end. As long as there is a Muslim faith I am sure that they will find a passage that says they can kill us. We need to withdraw and just missile the joint next time. Sitting overseas waiting for Osama to pop up is never gonna happen. All of the intel tells us he is not there, yet we stay......and wait.........and stay...... and wait. This in my opinion is just an elaborate way to scare the home-front and drain the US economy, but who am I right. Its almost as if we are just sitting outside Pakistan sharpening and axe for this guy, hes not gonna fall for it.

"If Men are so wicked as we now see them with Religion what would they be if without it?" Benjamin Franklin.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin and later repeated by Franklyn Delano Roosevelt.

The Terrorists made their point loud and clear. To let them scare us is just what they want. So I dont even change my routine. I dont care about being killed by terrorists because, Let them F*&^ing get me. I am going to do all those things I want in MY country regardless of if it offends them. I didn't take a huge Shiza in and Afghanistan yard yet they did us. This is just like a pompous god casting down fire and brimstone to command obedience. I had not even had the faintest idea about the Muslim faith until 911. The Muslims are like the ex girlfriend you never wanted. Always breakin shit......Demanding attention....."I never get any respect" .......Sleep with me or Ill kill you. That kind of shit.

Im breakin up with you radical Muslims. I dont know how you get that we are an item .....but we are not.. move on before I break my foot off in your ass

you a religious man?

awesome video, i love those guys

That seemed have been the point to get a larger guaranteed audience for the show by using the prediciable nature of those protesters by baiting a trap for them.

Exactly!

Uzi what the hell are retarded? You need to move out of your parents basement first.

i know right? the UMP is much nicer.
