“Freedom of Speech” is a widely used statement nowadays everywhere in the world. But does it also include insulting other people and damaging their reputation? If yes, then such type of “Freedom of Speech” is not at all appreciated in Islam. Islam gives a lot of stress on protecting an individual’s reputation.
There should always be a separating line between a “joke” and an “insult”. Injuring someone’s reputation is an immoral act. Such type of “shows” insults just anyone they want for ENTERTAINMENT REASONS (for God’s sake!) Yukh! If this is not pathetic and disgusting then what is it?
Can’t there be some decent ways of getting entertained? In the name of humor, they go as far as making fun of our beloved Prophets! (uff tobah!) They make fun of Prophet Muhammad, Jesus, Moses etc (may peace be on them all).
So brother/sister in Islam or brother/sister in humanity, don’t you think that such “Shows” should be banned?
Just look at their gross and fungal mentality that they would not even resist making fun of handicap people! How unacceptable!!!
I know that there are many indecent and evil people who would watch porn and would support such “Shows” but I think (and strongly wish) that not the whole world is like them!

Reason: Spelling mistakes.
In general, yes it does. We're not talking about whether physical violence to those who do not consent should be tolerated in the name of entertainment. Of course it should not, and I don't think you will find anyone on here that would disagree with that. The thread is about what sort of comedy is acceptable under the umbrella of free-speech. You know, that I effectively believe there to be as little limit in terms of what should be acceptable in terms of free speech in entertainment.
I am glad you used the word consent. We don't consent to lack of reverence in the name of entertainment.. and in fact I think you'd best agree with your own person since I don't think many here would see eye to eye on what you find tolerable!
Neither theists or atheists are surveyed. It is a rundown of what countries set the best examples in many areas of society.
How do you judge a country without its relationship to something else?

the media is invasive. it comes into your home uninvited. we should not have to take steps to keep trash out, rather those who desire to have it should have to take steps to subscribe to it.

In concrete terms, this equates to purchasing a television, a computer with internet access, or both.

well said akhi.. and that is just what I am saying.. if we are to go by a mere rudimentary form of 'democracy' then the majority don't wish to be offended or subject their loved ones to equally offensive material under the guise of 'free speech' or whatever ... those who wish to subscribe to this can do so the same way they subscribe to porn and away from imposing it on the rest of us!

So do not watch, or support what you find intolerable. Do not tell others that they must be blinded as well and follow suite.
Concerning the agreement of values: all I said was that I suspect most people on here would agree that violence towards innocents in the name of entertainment is unacceptable.

The website details information such as Human Development, Gender Equality, Life Expectancy, Quality Of Life, Competitive Economy, Environment etc etc.

I don't think she was abused or molested, I think people like to make excuses to why they are so vile, but the reality is some folks are plain evil without excuses .. was cain molested and abused by his parents before killing his brother? These are the sins and evils of the soul that has no harness and no boundaries.. Frankly I don't think any minor arrest to that woman can undo what she has done.. I don't think any sort of apology or retraction if at all can undo the damage done.. human life and dignity that is God bestowed is cheap for some, because they believe in none of those variables! It is all just tissues that have self assembled and cheap and 'fun' to take apart!
Its true. we should not make excuses for evil thats how they get away with it scott free.
this hadith gives me a little peace knowing that this witch might possibly burn in hell
Hadith - Bukhari 3:553, Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar [Also in Muslim, Narrated Abu Huraira]
Allah's Apostle said,
"A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger." Allah's Apostle further said, "(Allah knows better) Allah said (to the woman), 'You neither fed it nor watered when you locked it up, nor did you set it free to eat the insects of the earth.' "
So do not watch, or support what you find intolerable. Do not tell others that they must be blinded as well and follow suite.
Blinded? lol what is there to gain from libel and slander I ask?

indeed, I am not sure that is the case for heathens though!

None of those things can be measured without impact on the individual.. and thus I ask, which individuals were surveyed? you can't for instance speak of human development without human subjects? and indeed certain folks do better, have a look at how well the white 'natives' of south africa are doing compared to the indigenous population .. and so my question remains, who is surveyed to determine quality? The Quality of life of oppressors indeed tends to be better than those oppressed.. is there a point to this?

It is not up to you what I should or should not watch. I do watch South Park (although not often). I do watch Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, Monty Python and other things that might get an +18 sticker stamped on them. I even played the GTA games and enjoyed them.

It is for me.

I suggest you go to the website to see their sources.

That doesn't answer the question of benefit-- and indeed you can watch whatever you want, you can watch porn and watch a kitten being killed for pleasure or a bunch of men in white robes torching others.. there is no question that degeneracy exists and has a wide audience.. we need that audience to be isolated from the rest of society that is all!
It is for me.
I did indeed meant it is the case for many heathens of which you are one!

Again, it doesn't answer the question nor the point you elected to make earlier!

Lol, I just noticed this. Are you suggesting that Scandinavian nations are oppressive?

What do you mean specifically by isolation? And no, it may have no benefit to me in any way whatsoever.
I did indeed meant it is the case for many heathens of which you are one!
Huh? I said that most people on here would agree that harming the innocent in tne name and objective of entertainment is immoral. You then said that such was the case, but doubted that heathens would agree. As you consider me a heathen, I responded that it was the case for me...
Again, it doesn't answer the question nor the point you elected to make earlier!
I am not repeating the research of the entire website to you. Either read it, or do not. But don't ask me to act as a messenger for it.

Do you find something funny here? indeed oppression takes many different forms, banning burka and minarets would fall under that.. got to love your skewed sense of morality!

that you should pay for your brand of laughter the way others pay for their sexual satisfaction on some pay per view channel!

Your brand of morality doesn't mean much to me.. all I have to go on are your assertions and then extracurricular activities that I find equally vile!

There is nothing to repeat, you made a point that was vacuous and nonsensical as expected!

They never made fun of Muhammad, they made fun of how angry some Muslims got over the Danish cartoon. The show is satire on how humanity is these days.
it seems right up your alley.. and it is precisely why I believe that atheists have no morals, no conscious, have no idea where to draw the line at humor vs. denigratory and libelous.. everywhere atheists have been, have left the world with their spawn not unlike the cruel ***** in those photos.. she found it amusing I am sure.. alot of things are amusing indeed.. go be amused with folks like yourself.. there is no room for animals and animalistic behavior amongst civilized citizens!
OMG!
evil daughter of shaytaan! I can't believe it. InshaAllah, she is going to suffer an unimaginably painful death and she deserves it!

Should Shows like "SOUTH PARK" be banned? (OP)
