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." Theo van Gogh was a Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by an Islamic extremist in 2004 after making a short documentary on violence against women in some Islamic societies. The posting on Revolutionmuslim.com features a graphic photograph of Van Gogh with his throat cut and a dagger in his chest. 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.” Al Amrikee said the purpose of including the al-Awlaki sermon in his posting was to remind Muslims that insulting the prophet is a severe offense for which the punishment in Islam is death. He said RevolutionMuslim may hold protests about the show. Calls to Comedy Central were not returned. South Park is known to be a satirical show that is known to have criticized all denominations of christianity, buddhism, hinduism....but never before did they receive death threats until now.

Islam has more loonies per square inch over any other religion. Van gogh was killed,Rushdie has to hide for a good part of his life, the Mohammed cartoonist has gone into hiding,hollywood is scared to destroy mecca in their disaster movie etc etc. This is no big surprise. Its a well established fact that, if you do anything that is perceived as sullying the image (unless it involves killing Kaffirs) of their "peaceful" religion , you paint a giant bullseye mark on you..

understandable. its not ok to insult any religion.
I am a Muslim too but it is not right to send death threats to anybody too .. frankly speaking I was pissed off when I watched South Park movie for the first time as they were showing Gandhiji in hell with Hitler and that nearly burnt my blood with anger but that does not mean I would issue a death threat to them .. they just make fun of everyone and so I dont think there is any big issue with that .. in India you can file a lawsuit against anybody if he/she insults religion as there is law regarding it but South Park is US based and so if the US allows it I dont think that should be a problem .. I just find some people over reacting .. it is the bloody 21st century man and if people start getting offended by everything then this world would be filled with hatred and war instead of love and peace .. anyways I dont think it is any big issue for a modern person .. there have been naked paintings of Jesus itself but there was no such issue there .. I just feel some people take religion too seriously .. come on its the 21st century

what is this 'south park' anyways? anyways coming back to your point, a line must be drawn somewhere. maybe these threats will dissuade them from insulting religions in the future. otherwise these buffoons will stoop to new lows.

A line?Religion has already crossed the line by lying to people.Before you ask to curb freedom of speech, first i would like to ask you the proof that the bible is correct, that the quran is the word of god etc. How is insulting an idea be banned? If your version of Krishna or Mohammed is correct without proof, then their version of Mohammed is just as correct. Atleast in South park version Mohammed was just a bear

NOT all are forced to watch a comedy show. You can love anybody ( or nobody ) if you want but that doesnt mean the rest of the humankind has to follow you. PS: I love the cartoonists so please dont use bad words for them, Im offended and I dont want anybody on this planet to use any bad words for the cartoonists , I believe that they are our saviors :finger:

Most Indians (including Telugu Indians) are hindus by belief, do they go around preaching that the cow is holy to them and all cow slaughter should be stopped ? Heck, this is not verbal abuse, its massacring by the millions every day. Whatever happened to live and let live ..
