South Park Muhammad Cartoon

The makers of South Park have recently received death threat from radical Islamists on www.radicalislamists.com. The Comedy Central show “South Park” has been one of controversy for a long time, and has been criticized on several occasions for its mocking of social problems, celebrates, religions, and world issues. But, it is unusual for the show to receive deaths that state "they will die like Theo Van Gogh" (Danish director brutal murdered for making a movie critical of Islam). The members and makers of the website claim that they were not sending a death threat but, a warning of would happen to the makers of South Park in the future. The Prophet Muhammad, who appears in South Parks 200th episode, was in fact censored due to the fact that it is blasphemy to portal any images of the prophet. But the only problem was that the makers of South Park censored Muhammad’s image by having him wear a bear suit. Muslim director Aryaan Hirsi Ali, who had worked with Van Gogh, believes that even though the bear costume may seem like a minor issue it is a serious offense to radical Islamists. Ali on CNN stated, “This is clearly a threat considering that the South Park maker’s addresses were posted on the website for any Jihadist to see”. She even went on to say, “Most Muslims don’t follow the scriptures that justify killing those that disgrace Allah or the Prophet Muhammad but, Van Goghs murder proves that even small extremists groups will take drastic measures for their beliefs”. Ali also, believes that Islam is not above criticism and that Radical Islamists are morally wrong in their Jihadists beliefs that disgrace the religion and its followers.
