South Park creators warned over Muhammad depiction

[Supreme]

I would respectfully have to disagree. I see very little respect for unbelievers in the Qu'ran.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Unfortunately, on this matter neither the Qu'ran, countless Muslims or the creators of South Park are without sin.

Why on Earth are you using a Christian quote to convey your message?

why go down that road at all? whos the bully? the person who is purposely insults and taunts? or the person who stands up for themselves?
muslims would NEVER do that to Jesus peace be upon him. the pope is not in line with Muhammed peace and blessings be upon him, so im using jesus pbuh....non muslims regularly insult muslim scholars and we dont see this outcry...

Threatening to kill someone is hardly a proportionate response to being offended, however deeply so.

I am certain that you have become Blackpool's mouthpiece, which is might as well as I seriously suspect your braincells are not working in this case.

Anymore personal insults in a thread where Muslims are being outraged about personal insults?

Meanwhile, all you did is scream "look! some moslem issued death threats! it's not fair!"

No, I responded to the apologists for those who threaten violence.

You might want to have a look at statistics how many muslims have been killed senselessly by western governments and then come back here to have a more fair perspectives.

This has nothing to do with the topic.

I don't watch south park. I don't know who they portray I do know that the show is created by scientologists or there are constant references to scientology

You're wrong. One of their voice actors (Chef, who was/became/is a Scientologist) left the show in protest when they did a mockery of Scientology.

 

[Skavau]

Everybody but the jews, it seems they are off limits lest you be called anti-semetic, forced to apology on tv, pay ransom and what not!

Actually, given that one of the main cast is in a Jewish Family and anti-semetic jokes are made a lot of the time by one of the other main cast - I highly doubt that.

South Park has some good satirical content once you see beneath the 'dumb jokes'.

As others have mentioned South Park makes fun of EVERYONE. They even make fun of atheists. I recall an episode dedicated to making fun of Richard Dawkins so no body can accuse South Park of bias towards any group of people. Heck, in the episode when they went to Afghanistan they even made fun of American culture in comparison to Afghan culture. The Jewish jokes are the best though.

Anyway, South Park is the type of show where they just make fun of everyone in a grossly exaggerated way. Again, there's some satire behind a lot of the episodes which makes the show funny for an audience that is looking for something more than just the 'gross' stuff. That said, to take South Park seriously and issue a death threat is a tad extreme considering how ridiculous some of the stuff on the show is. It's just pointless to feel offended by it. The option is there for people not to watch it and the people who will watch it are the type that don't care about the jokes they air or they are the type that will find something similar elsewhere so there really makes no sense in censoring it.

Has south park done something about disrespecting the Holocaust? - thats the real no go area for the shameless world.

which part was it an insult?

No, I responded to the apologists for those who threaten violence.

and I responded to stupid assertion by Blackpool.

This has nothing to do with the topic.

I am exposing hipocrisy.

 

[Ramadhan]

Alhamdulillah muslims are still standing up against attempts by atheists and disgusting people who want to debase our prophet SAW and our religion.

Yes, I recall an episode where Cartman gathers people to exterminate the Jews. He even gathers an army of followers, dresses up as Hitler, and marches down the street doing the Nazi salute. It was the episode where they make fun of the Passion of the Christ movie. Funny stuff. See, South Park is all about making fun of everyone. It isn't anything personal to Muslims, it just makes fun of everyone so it's a bit extreme when people wish death on the creators. If people don't like South Park's brand of humor they should not watch it. It's for people who don't get offended easily. And again, when they make fun of things it's almost always so ridiculous you just have to laugh at it or dismiss it as something childish.

 

[Skavau]

which part was it an insult?

The part where you declared I had no brain cells.

and I responded to stupid assertion by Blackpool.

Yes, after misrepresenting my agenda for posting in this thread.

I am exposing hipocrisy.

And what hypocrisy would that be? I do not endorse the killing of muslims by western governments as you claim, so there is none.

Excuse me!
That is a lie. Show me where I declare you have no brain cells.
That would be absurd.

you were misrepresenting Blackpool's post.

Hard to believe, judging by posts you made in this forum.

"I am certain that you have become Blackpool's mouthpiece, which is might as well as I seriously suspect your braincells are not working in this case."

Rather ironic on a thread where people are getting outraged over insults.

you were misrepresenting Blackpool's post.

I wasn't even responding to or adding anything onto Blackpool's post. That is your presumption. I actually replied to you.

Hard to believe, judging by posts you made in this forum.

Please point them out.

Sorry but no. They've ridiculed atheism too.

 

[Pygoscelis]

what disrespect is there for unbelievers in the quran, if you are a kufar you are a kufar if you willfully disbelieve in islam than your abode will be hell, these are our beliefs in the same way a christian believes that people who disbelieve in their religion will not enter the kingdom of heaven in the same way an athiest believes that we worship a non existent diety.

On that level, I think it is fair to say that dismissing (even ridiculing) another's beliefs as fiction is vastly different from endorsing and worshiping a God that tortures those who hold other beliefs.
