The radical Islamic Web site Revolutionmuslim.com is going after the creators of the TV cartoon series “South Park” after an episode last week included an image of the Prophet Mohammed in disguise. Revolutionmuslim.com, based in New York, was the subject of a CNN investigation last year for its radical rhetoric supporting “jihad” against the West and praising al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Its organizers insist they act within the law and seek to protect Islam.
On Sunday, Revolutionmuslim.com posted an entry that included a warning to South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone that they risk violent retribution – after the 200th episode last week included a satirical discussion about whether an image of the prophet could be shown. In the end, he is portrayed disguised in a bear suit. The posting on Revolutionmuslim.com says: “We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.” The entry on Revolutionmuslim.com goes on to advise readers:
“You can contact them [the makers of South Park], or pay Comedy Central or their own company a visit at these addresses …” before listing Comedy Central’s New York address, and the Los Angeles, California, address of Parker and Sloane’s production company. Contacted by CNN, the author of the post, Abu Talhah al Amrikee, said that providing the addresses was not intended as a threat to the creators of South Park but to give people the opportunity to protest.Over still photographs of Parker, Stone, van Gogh and others, the Web site runs audio of a sermon by the radical U.S.-born preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, who is now in hiding in Yemen. The sermon, recorded some time ago, talks about assassinating those who have “defamed” the Prophet Mohammed – citing one religious authority as saying “Harming Allah and his messenger is a reason to encourage Muslims to kill whoever does that.” U.S. officials say al-Awlaki is on a list of al Qaeda leaders targeted for capture or assassination. The clip ends with a warning on a graphic directed at Parker and Stone, saying “The Dust Will Never Settle Down.”
Sounds like a death threat to me…so when do we start the deportation process?
The revolutionmuslim site seems to be down. Proabably a DNS attack from South Park fans.
#19 And that is what this two part SP is all about. They start the show with all the kids calling Tom Cruise a fudge packer and bot does he get pissed. Even though when they are calling him that he is in a candy factory packing fudge into boxes.
#14 Fragalot” He looks much like this.
It’s a good thing that South Park never made fun of Christians or they would be dead by now. Oh wait. South Park makes fun of everyone and know one tried to kill them before.
“nothing to see here… hey look at that…”
Ah, the religion of love. South Park rocks! & this is the second time they poke at “The Prophet”.
#2 No, it’s just their low IQ. I guess that much tetraethyl lead in their gasoline had something to do with worsening their High Intellect.
#8 Should we take your post as a hint that you agree with extreme muslims?
Pedro and consequently Bobbo,
How can I make this any clearer, FCK YOU. I’m advocating my right to speech here, same as you, bobbo and everyone else in this thread.
And while 2 lives are threaten, it goes unnoticed that some of you here want the “annihilation” of Islam. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry because of the sheer ignorance. The way I see it you guys aren’t any better when you’re voicing your “threats”, ops..i mean “concerns.”
So best I could do here is to say FCK YOU ALL which would make more sense and is actually less cruel, although most of your wouldn’t see it this way.
All of this is, you know, sarcastic
I don’t wish anyone a FCK you, it’s just sadistic to read the comments here in response to the threat on 2 guys.
pedobear? Look out its fatwah time.
T-1==you gotta renew your prescription for chill pills.
No 1==responding to Pedo is a waste of time. Everyone here knows that and posts to Pedo are an act of charity to keep him temporally oriented.
Now, I DEFY you to connect the dots from what I posted to what you say I posted or seem to be responding to.
Since when is a nice fck a bad thing? You are more than TheOne confused. I still see potential though—course I told Pedo that for a year before giving up.
Give it another shot T-1==be rational and on point???
Islam has these crazies, christianity has Pat Robertson and snake handlers, the FSM has people who dress up like pirates in public on days other than Halloween.
Every religion has their share of nut jobs. Eventually cooler heads prevail.
Eric the Red==FSM has a fringe group??? Thats hard to believe, and who doesn’t dress up like Pirates? Arggggh!!
“Eventually, cooler heads prevail.”—yea, but what about all the one’s chopped off until that state of insight evolves??? Sounds more like a statement of faith than reality. Seems to me that many fringe groups are simply “taken out” for the safety of humanity.
And therein is the challenge of Islam. How should it be known? If your tolerance leads to your own demise, what is the value in showing that good christian love????
And as god designed the universe, Darwin controls the outcome.
BoingBoing did an interview with Matt and Trey:

They point out, that long before the Danish cartoons and all the Muslim riots, they had an actual depiction of Muhammad in an early season of South Park — and no one noticed!

Mohammad(death be upon him) is a dickhead and Islam is religion for the ultra stupid!
There, jihad declared on me in 5,4,3,2…
If criticism of your faith gets you this worked up, maybe your faith isn’t as true and strong as you think. Normal people secure in their beliefs and thoughts don’t give a flying f@#k enough about what other people think about it to respond.
Oh, I forgot, “turn the other cheek” is a Christian thing. My bad!
BTW, Adam Curry gets it right about the war in Afghanistan being about opium and heroin. But, it’s not for us — the largest increasing numbers of heroin users are in Afghanistan and Iran.
We’re turning them all into junkies!
I guess these guys aren’t real big fans of south park since one of the points of episode 200 was that south park ALREADY showed Mohamed. Here’s a link to the uncensored scene (for some reasons without the www. the link just redirects to the front page of their website so I have to paste it here with it.) http://southparkstudios.com/clips/152720

Look you bunch of inbred morans, it’s a BIG CUDDLY TEDDY BEAR. I am NOT OFFENDED . Now get back on your knees and worship me.
Cripes Almighty!!!!
I heard that in the original script of the episode that mohammad was going to be an uncle fucker.
South Park Marketing Department … genius.
#1 It’s pretty much what the Koran says to do. If they belong to the correct faiths and don’t get in the way and pay the tax you can let them live….If they don’t…You figure it out. There aren’t a lot of other options left.
Why do we tolerate this?
Seriously?
Why isn’t a politician or cop arresting these a$$clowns?
Hang on. I thought it was forbidden to represent GOD, not the prophet Mohammed. He was just a man, after all.
islam is a very weak religion..
if you convert to Christianity or make fun of the false prophet of the pegan religion of islam who worships the pagan moon god allah… they go afta ya.. weak!!!!
