So the constitution grants Muslims the right to threaten people for speaking their minds, and THAT'S free speech? But, saying MUHAMMAD isn't protected?
This is stupid! Is the entire free, rational world really going to let this happen? Crazy extremist Muslims tell the WORLD what we can say and not say, and because theyre crazy amd might try to kill people, we all just obey them? ANYBODY SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS??
And now the 200th and 201st episodes of South Park are banned both on television and on SouthParkStudios.com (which legally streams every episode; the old 2001, pre-9/11 episode The Super Best Friends, which depicted Muhammad back when it was still okay, has also been removed from the site). This is just ridiculous. Luckily, I have Season 5 on DVD and so I can see The Super Best Friends anytime I want, but I wonder if 200 and 201 will be included on the Season 14 DVD set next year. I was hoping Muhammad would appear uncensored on the Season 10 box in the episode Cartoon Wars Part II (originally aired in 2006, right after the Danish Muhammad cartoon controversy), but it was released exactly as it had aired on television, with the scene of Muhammad edited out.
Fuck sensitivity to the Islamic community. If they can portray Jesus defecating on the American flag, then why can't they show Muhammad giving a South Park caricature of Family Guy's Peter Griffin a salmon helmet? They can portray Jesus being stabbed in the neck and shooting arterial spray everywhere (in fact, that was the second time he had been brutally murdered on the show, third time if you count the crucifixion scenes from The Passion of the Christ), but now they can't even say Muhammad's name? If Christians began threatening the show with violence, would Comedy Central cave in like this? If Jews started threatening to blow us up unless we stopped eating pork, would grocery stores start pulling all their pork, bacon, ham, etc. off the shelves? Fuck this shit. Here's a naked Lego Muhammad fucking a six-year-old:
